Before I get to my questions... my mini had an oil leak and now I must rebuild the engine. This means it's time to do what I originally intended with it and make it into an electric car. I'm already deep in the electric conversion planning and will start as soon as I have the money. But I have two issues. I need to make the ride as smooth as possible and protect the engine area from rocks and bump. I want to start racing my car on and off roads as soon as it's done under the knife. It's going to be a few years before I'm close to where I want to be but I'm ready to start working towards my goal piece by piece. It's important to me that the car stays lightweight and keeps its classic appearance.
Questions:
Keeping the 10in wheels, what are the best shocks and breaks that I can get for off-roading?
What is the best, lightweight engine shielding?
What are the best wheels for general on/off-roading?
Do you suggest making alterations such as raising the car from the ground a little bit?
Is there anyone in the area who has converted a mini to an electric car?
Is there anyone in the group that could talk me through what I need to know about mini off-roading before I make decisions? You can call me.
and... for good measure...
What are the specs for your dream rally mini?
I know I'll think of more questions as I learn more. I'm new with minis, with racing, and with electric conversion and I'm hoping I'll find people who like to blab who can teach me things.
Thanks,
