  • Jacob getting the suspension dialled & car prepped for the crew's first time out on the gravel in the #Mini #rallycar. Looking at getting some forest stages miles under their belts before the first round of the Mini rally challenge 2023.
    But as ever, Something always causing problems.... Let's hope we can get this issue fixed before Round 1 - Rally north wales on the 25th of march ey.

    I was under the impression
    You could use the getrag
    If you also use the driveshafts
    Linkages
    Clutch ect. From your donor car
    It should just bolt to your existing engine

      Your very right Jonathan however, for the mini rally challenge we are limited to only using the midlands gearbox and cars between certain dates etc as per champ rules. Otherwise yeah, I'm good to go haha! Another problem would be that the Limited slip wouldn't fit the getrag box, but unsure at this point

      I’ve also read that changing the oil on the midlands box can help
      They all whine a little and loose fragments that stuck to the magnet
      I have a 2002 cooper project with same midland box
      Hopefully have it on the road this year
      I use the smith and Allan oil. Specific for the midland box

    Interested to know how much damper travel you have in gravel and tarmac spec.

      It's not loads on the r50 suspension, only about 50mm of droop (ish). The R53's have a more comprehensive gravel damper, so droop is much more appropriate for the gravel.
