Just bought a used one - well, it's more like 'second owner' - boxed and looks unused. Liked the look of them at Gaydon but didn't like the price.
Done all the oiling as per BRM's YouTube advice but have to admit to not having Loctited all the screws. Also, as per several reviewers comments, have fitted the low profile front tyres supplied in the box. The standard rubber - rubs! (Can't understand why they'd supply it fitted with 'oversized' fronts but acknowledge they're a problem by supplying replacements in the box!)
Anyway - anyone got other tips to get the best out of the STOCK car? Is BRM's reference to adjusting the 'Convergance' actually a reference to the camber? If so has anyone found the Mini works better with the camber 'dialled out'?
To be fair though, it runs really nicely, especially with the low profile fronts and is very stable/predictable as it is.
