running on the dyno WAHOOO!!!!!


This is a shot showing just how narrow the mini is. It probaly wouldn't have fit without the new tires and wheel spacers installed.


Usually you adjust the length of the dyno to have the non driven wheels sit in the low spot just in front of the rear roller but the mini is too short for it to adjust that far.



Closer shot of the Dynojet dyno. We were able to run about 150 miles on the dyno to begin the initial breakin. We will have to do some more breakin before doing a full tilt power run on a dyno.


The mini back at my apartment. My teacher helped me tow it over since it isn't quite road ready.



Next to this Jeep Grand Cherokee you can really see just how small the mini is.



The fuel cell installed with the all important stickers that are good for 10 horsepower each. we had to build a custom base to hold it level and anchor it securely in place.



Another shot of the fuel cell.



The engine installed complete with super custom intake. It is just a piece of silicone 45 degree elbow and cheap napa cone filter.
