270 BHP R53 Mini Cooper S - Snetterton Track day (30-05-2019)

After missing the morning session due to blowing a coolant hose I managed to get out for a good few laps in the afternoon. The external mic was broken so excuse the sound quality. I'm no racing driver but for the 2 laps in the morning I was running 2:38 & these were averaging 2:32 in traffic so was happy with the progress.
The 2 racing Ka's were hilarious to follow for a bit as they were having a hell of a race.

Thanks for listing your setup. I've done everything except the bottom end and the clutch.on mine. Planning on doing that this winter. How do you like the clutch you've gone with?

[@MAFFA76]

Clutch was great & did multiple track days. Car is sold now unfortunately 😢

[@sirjakethebrit]

Great spec of car mate. I had no idea they could.get 270 on the stock supercharger. Wicked

[@Modmaann]

Yes it's possible but that's basically close to Max HP you can get mid 280 if you were to all in Really needs a tvs900 or someone help from RMW to fab him up a TVS1320 as you'll need to cut into the front crash bar slightly to make room for it.

Hi I like your car, What's your axle setup of your mini cooper r53? My r53 always broken axle when I was drive on the track.

[@MAFFA76]

I’ve snapped a few driveshafts in my time. Part & parcel of lowering it. OEM driveshafts seem to be the best in my opinion as snapped a cheap one after 3 laps of Goodwood once. I think the idea is to not go too low or you’re adding more strain on them

[@yaozhao302]

@@MAFFA76 Thanks for let me know.

[@Modmaann]

​@@yaozhao302just get some racing axles instead of going through the OEM ones. Race shop axles for the mini are sublime
