Ok, here is the next little project on the RMW table......

well, there is much more than this but we can't spill the beans on everything as we like to keep some things in suspense Please feel free to guess what we are going to do with this.

 

It is obviously a butterfly mold. You are going to make decorative hood ornaments. I don't think it will work on my car but it would look good on some cars.

 

A creatively balanced pulley?

 

you are onto me, even though I put it on a CP piston box

 

You missed the cool colored bangle braclets behind the mold. Or hoop earrings?

 

will the winner get a free one if they guess it.?

 

Well, if they're larger diameter than the std ones... 1.8 or 2.0??

Regardless, we'll be watching

 

1.8 RMW centercaps?

 

got a melted one I can use as a paperweight? guess I should email Gintani for that

 

Its an aluminum billet cupholder with a specially CNC machined "well" to hold excess coffee that will spill as you zoom around corners in your MCS that has lots of RMW parts? Jan, this was MY idea, you beat me to the market AGAIN!!

 

we are getting warmer

more too it though

 

wow,,, some great ideas here

maybe we can come up with something for your coffee table conversations

It will RMWs first NON performance product

 

it's an ashtray

 

if used improperly.... yes.... definitely an ashtray

 

critical part to a "stroker" project? Don't go there Jan I've had a similar project idea just haven't had the time, but apparently you have.

 

we have plenty more projects going on, this is just one of them that we are now ready to talk about

 

Non-performance.............?

You're not turning into the new PU are you........................

 

Someone had to fill the void.

 

Expansion tank cap
Engine oil cap
Power steering cap

 

you forgot gas cap

 

It looks like something I need... as long as they come with wrist pins

 

They probably will, but I wouldn't use them in my car unless they come with a custom counter weight system!

 

I was thinking "Hemi-Cooper"

 

Is this possibly a twin cam setup that we see the start of?

 

As it is a domed piston the diameter is not the point of interest rather the compression ration. Lets see if you increase the compression ration slightly you can lower the blower speed and thereby by lower the heat created by boost pressures. Not to mention keep the M45 in a reasonable RPM speed. You then pick up more bottom end torque and still have good top end. And if you machine the piston dome configuration to the combustion chamber there is even more hidden power. Old tricks on racecars, new trick for a MINI? Then if you offset grind the crank change the rod length and piston pin height…why stop at a 2.0 ? Do we see a 500whp Mini engine in the future ?
