Finished at the ring now, went to do a brake bleed and check the pads to find there is virtually no pad left, this is after 4 laps, Managed to do a 10:35 lap today on an extremely busy track, really pleased with how it went ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Œ

2 laps done, first in the rain was a 13min then 2nd lap was still really damp but managed a 11:10min lap, think I'll need to bleed the brakes tomorrow before another go but hopefully will go a bit quicker

How I made my r50 mini handle good on a budget

Started off by changing the standard 15โ€™โ€™ wheels to the cooper s 17โ€™โ€™ wheels, next I removed the rear seats out of the car, after that I changed the standard springs to stiffer and 30mm lower Eibach springs, lastly I changed the front tyres from budget tyres to Hankook Ventus V12 tyres,

The best thing I did was change the tyres, they made so much difference, was going to go for Michelin PS3โ€™s but managed to get the Hankooks for ยฃ25 a tyre and can fit them my self so couldnโ€™t say no. Already have Michelin Primacy 3โ€™s on the rear so didnโ€™t need to change them.

The overall handling of the car has increased dramatically and would definitely recommend to anyone on a tight budget, all mods are easy to do by yourself with basic mechanic skills.

Hope this has helped a few people
