1st Time Mini Owner.
Hello everyone! I am Jack and an avidly autocrosser. I just ended my lease early on my 2015 Honda Fit and got an r56 Horizon Blue Metallic Hardtop Justa MT. I am not new to driving minis, but I am an enthusiast. I plan to make this car go in to HS and try to dominate against the Fiesta ST's. I know Charlie Thompson is on here. Hi Charlie! I hope to make it nationally competitive.
From what I read, the JCW springs are legal for HS. Now where can I get those?
Koni yellows
Tarrett 25mm Rear Sway bar or Hotchkis
I can't decide on if I want to go with 15 or 16s. I like the cheap options of 15" wheels but max I can go is 15x6.5 et41mm (wrapped in 205 50 15). Max +1 is 16x7 et41mm (215 45 16). I could use the wheels i had from my fit and add spacers to satisfy the et41.
I also would like to do a stud conversion. However, I am having difficulty finding open ended spline lugs because I live in Boston. I'd like to make it harder for people to try and steal wheels with spline lugs.
The only convenience item I would get would be a Cravenspeed universal phone mount. I know Jojo's minis had them and they were awesome.
