Zcars Project Begun

[Zmini]

I will update this thread as work continues.

Here is Angus when I bought him about 6mo. ago.
He started as a 75 Leyland 1000. Bought him for $2000. He had very little rust except for the back seat area. For my use I didnt need it out it went. He'll never be the same again...

Stripped him down and started cutting him up for the conversion. Gotta love the plasma cutter for quick work on metal. I will be cleaning it up as soon. Should be ready for the acid dip by next week. Then off she goes.

Engine has been torn down and internally everything replaced. Block painted and covers polished. Manifold and intake are polished as well just not on the engine yet. AC and power steering deleted.

Stay tuned more to come. Next its off to get acid dipped and coated then the subframe should be here and the fun begins.

[Meno]

Absolutely COOL!

MiniTec is getting ready to do one of these projects, too. I am very intrigued and look forward to your posted progress...probably not as much as you though!

[Zmini]

BJ & Norm told me they were doing one as well. They did my wiring harness, pedals and master cylinders as well. There client is in Brazil I believe.

This should be fun and as well one the highest HP mini in the world.

[magic robots]

I look forward to seeing the build progress!
Is it really going to be a high horsepower mini? What are you going to do to the K20?

[Zmini]

It will be about 425-450 whp.
What Im doing is somewhat of a secret but it will be obvious soon.

[magic robots]

I look forward to the details! I love this kit; I can't wait to see what you do.

[Zmini]

It will be insane is all I know.

[william75]

when is you anticipated or estimated finish date???

[Zmini]

I am trying to have it done by March. I think I can do it but its gonna be close. It all depends on shipping of parts.

a build book on Ebay

[Zmini]

Chris from Zcars sent me a copy of that DVD about 6 mo. ago. Ive watched it about 30 times already.

At the end of the CD they do some track time and prep. Its pretty crazy how fast they are.

[Meno]

I think Minitec is getting ready to build one for a customer. K20A powered! Yikes.

[Zmini]

Yep for a guy in Brazil.

[Zmini]

Back from getting dipped. The body sat in acid for 6 days! Thankfully very few problems that I didnt know about.

Wow, I can see you welded up more holes than I did. Very smoothe. It's gonna be a real looker. Keep the pics comming!

[Zmini]

Are those spindle mount wheels?
:o

[Tavis1]

Very Cool!

[Zmini]

More pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are those spindle mount wheels?
:o

Yep sure are. Wouldnt a set of your brake reservoirs go nicely?

[magic robots]

I can't wait to see this thing come together! Congratulations!!!

[Zmini]

Hopefully dropping in the engine tomorrow then waiting for a couple of more parts then putting it together.

[Zmini]

http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/26.jpg
I think I may need all of these.... 215/50/13's hehe

And some picts of the engine in the frame. Install was simple. This is a real quality kit everything in place. Just missing a couple of bolts that will be here this week then the test fit for the frame in the car will happen. The manifold is being made and the intercooler is on the way.

Your looking at a K20Z1 with BDL 70mm throttle Body/ BDL Vacuume spacer/ BDL Fuel rail with return. What you dont see is the Quaife LSD, Kpro and all the aeromotive filters pumps and the turbo....stay tuned.

[steve]

Z-cars does very nice work if you can afford it. I can't even count that high. Front suspension looks overkill; What is their thinking on that? It's gonna be a rocket!

[Zmini]

Z-cars does very nice work if you can afford it. I can't even count that high. Front suspension looks overkill; What is their thinking on that? It's gonna be a rocket!

Steve your stuff is very nice (that have seen) and I believe you are in the same ballpark in quality. But, this kit is designed more for track racing and thus I think they have designed the kit for that. The pieces that you have'nt seen are of the same quality and strength. This is a full roll cage car from front to rear that all ties into each other. The thinking on the front is that is is all easily adjustable without taking the wheels off for camber, castor and toe. Its pretty neat looking down into it and just seeing the rebound and hight adjustable shocks, gas tank and rad. And in my case a carbon nitrogen bottle (hint hint).

[william75]

Zmini, how much did this kit end up costing? you can PM me if you like.. thanks in advance

william

[Zmini]

You've been PM'd William

[william75]

youve been PM'd.....thanks

[sachilles]

wow.


WOW. :shock:

Its together took about oh 2 hrs..........
Cant get the grin off my face! :mricy: :mricy: :mricy: :mricy:

Most of that was walking around it giggling like little school girls!

[Tavis1]

THAT IS SO WICKEDLY BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!! Just looking at is pure intimidation as it sits! Excellent job!

[Zmini]

I know it is going to be a looker that is for sure! Im only doing it once so it has to be the baddest it can be.

[magic robots]

That thing is sick man. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see more!

[steve]

looks great; are the rear wheels moved back a few inches? How much space between the seat and front of the engine? curious about the weight distribution; do you have corner scales?

[steve]

How 'bout a couple shots of the rear hub, with shock mount and swing arm attachment detail. does the track have to be that wide or is it just your wheel offsets?

[Zmini]

Thanks guys for the compliments

Steve, the rear tires arent moved back I think its just the way the photo looks.

The seats sit about 8 inches in front of the engine.
I dont have corner scales but as soon as everything is in the car I will have it corner balanced so I should be able to tell you at that time.
I will try and get some picts for you of the rear hub assembly, shocks and mounts.
The rear offset is actually a bit more in these shots as the rear tires werent all the way mounted but the rear is about 1" wider than the front. But this is the offset I wanted, doesnt have to be that way.

[Zmini]

Little more work done this morning....

[Tavis1]

Very slick!

[Zmini]

Tavis,
You still looking for a build DVD for Zcars frame?

[Tavis1]

Tavis,
You still looking for a build DVD for Zcars frame?No, I thought there was one for a regular type conventional set up somewhare that was out. I can't seam to find it. The good news is I might have found a possible canidate of a '63 Mini that started out as project but the owner has too many projects and the Missus is making him get rid of it for $2600!

[william75]

Zmini, PM sent.

[Zmini]

Sounds like my kind of deal!!!!!!!

[sachilles]

It does look pretty mean. Can't wait to see it running.

Love the look of the wheels/tires.
Incidentally, do you have the tire rotation going in the correct direction?

[Zmini]

Funny you should ask actually no not in those picts they are now though.

[Zmini]

How 'bout a couple shots of the rear hub, with shock mount and swing arm attachment detail. does the track have to be that wide or is it just your wheel offsets?

Steve check my gallery I put some up for you.

[steve]

Thanks for the pics. Can't see it all with the tape on, but It looks pretty good, Not exactly the way I would do the arms; the wheels look like they have space to come in about 3" a side. The bearing carriers look fabricated from large OD pipe or tubing; they must have a gang of people working over there.
Can't decide whether to go this K route on our next project, or stick with a Busa Middy. The K does have the more durable gear box with reverse and a diff built in; no chain/sprocket problems or special fabbed diff to deal with; but a 6 speed sequential shift box and monster revs are hard to say no to as well as about 150 to 200 pounds lighter, and we already have a couple Busa motors under the bench. :|

[Zmini]

Steve,
Im in Ventura if you want a up close and personal look just let me know. Or we can get together when its done and you can have a test drive.

I originally did want to go the Busa way but the cost was a determining factor for me and as well I dont know anything about Busa motors. The VTEC kit in the long run was about $6000 less. I have friends that know a lot about Honda motors and the VTEC kit was much more complete. So thats the way I went. But I will do a Busa one at some point maybe yours if you have one available by then. :D

Not sure on the bearing carriers but I can tell you that they are from a Ford of some kind. Not sure which one though.

[steve]

I might take you up on the invite and drive up with my partner some weekend soon, although we are starting to get busy lately. keep up the good work!
PS, Can you PM me with a rough price break down on your kit?

[Zmini]

You got it Steve I will PM you a breakdown.

Little more done, 2-1/2-1 equal length header. Still need to get the exhaust hooked up and the external wastgate plumbed.

HOLY SNAIL POWER BATMAN!

[magic robots]

That is out of control.
The sound inside that ****pit is going to be mind altering.

[Zmini]

I have ideas for that as well. Shouldnt be too bad.

Of course the heat is another story with racing window. :twisted: I'll be burning.

[Tavis1]

WOW!!!!!! I think it should be "HOLY butt pucker Batman!"

[Zmini]

:oops: hahaha

[Tavis1]

:oops: hahahaI didn't mean anything offensive about it, I am sorry if it came across that way. I meant your Mini is going to be so insainly fast it's going to make everything muscle clinch at the ludercus speed and acceleration. Which equals, fun :mryellow: .

[Zmini]

No offense taken.

Its going to be a screamer for sure.

[Zmini]

New tank
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/42.jpg
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/43.jpg

[magic robots]

Nice! How much does it hold? That goes in the front, right?

[Zmini]

It sits in the front like you see it in the second picture.

Im not sure how much it holds. Its been modified from the stock Zcars tank because of the way my hood fits. My guess is about 6.75 gallons.

[Zmini]

New Rad.

[Tavis1]

Sweet!

[magic robots]

That is so awesome. The speed you're making progress is impressive too. Thanks for posting all these pics!

[Zmini]

Trying to get it done by MMW but well see. Its going to be close.

Thanks I like to see picts in posts so I have to practice what I preach. It only makes it more interesting.

[Tavis1]

Thanks I like to see picts in posts so I have to practice what I preach. It only makes it more interesting.Yea? COOL! I plan on going that Saturday! I would love to see it in person!

[Zmini]

Exhaust is done. Well kinda. I need help deciding what way to go here. I originally had the exhaust exiting the middle of the car but it sits about 2in. off the ground. So im thinking that a may re route it up and exit it out the left side in the middle of the boot. So about where you see the O2 bung on the downpipe. What do you think?

http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/47.jpg
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/48.jpg

[magic robots]

Can you not do it through the lower - centre of the boot? Looks like there might be space ... I'm a fan of symmetry!

[Zmini]

I was thinking the same thing.....

[Zmini]

Nevermind, had a senior moment, sorry.

[Tavis1]

How about "C" notching the body to bring it up some? I think sticking out the boot lid would look odd.

[rl48mini]

If it's sitting that low, I would look at running the pipe below the bumper and through the panel just below the seam. That could look very nice whether centered or at one side.

[pjku79]

crap, you must have a fortune into this project. it sure does look sweet though. wish i had the time for it.

[Zmini]

Its been fun for sure!

Update...car is getting the body kit made and I will have picts up soon.

[Zmini]

Here is a teaser of the body kit.
Love it or hate I like it, once finished it will not like anything out there.
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/49.jpg

[Ace]

Hot DAMN!
Are you gonna do the ZMINI hood?
Are those rear arches going to smoothed in like the front?

[Zmini]

You mean like this one....Ya kinda just in carbon :P
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/50.jpg
No its pretty much like it is. The rear is soo wide that we shortened it a bit to be able to see the tires in the back. It actually looks like a Lambo from the back. Its not as square as it looks.

[Zmini]

Big unexpected box came today in the mail.
Waited almost 2 mo. for them. Believe it or not REALLY comfortable, made for endurance road racing.
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/51.jpg
http://www.audioprofiles.com/mini/52.jpg

[magic robots]

Surprise!!!
Those are going to be amazing.
I want to drive your car real bad. :) I bet you do too!

[Zmini]

I was hoping they would be comfortable but I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The seating position is right on!

Ya you and about 1000 other people including me!

[Tavis1]

That hood is tight! Will you finish already?! I can't take it anymore! :wink: :lol:

[Zmini]

There is lots more to come. :mrblue:

[Zmini]

Had to slip this in again, the hood is finished the pict above was in the middle. Oh and another little hint as to whats to come.

[sachilles]

I love the color. Looks almost like a the subaru world rally blue.
Excellent job.

[sachilles]

What is the function of the hole in the roof above the motor? or is that one of the surprises?

[Zmini]

Ahhhh you noticed.

Its for the intercooler, not radiator....intercooler. :mrblue:

[sachilles]

jeebus christmas. :shock:

[magic robots]

Totally sick. I look forward to seeing more progress!

[Zmini]

Its clipping right along now, I should have most of it done by the end of the month. Then getting it running.

Wwwwwwooooooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Do they have a web site?

[magic robots]

Coming a long really nicely!
Love the headlights. Looks alive.

Did you ever consider chopping the roof height?

[Zmini]

I did but the rear hoop for the roll cage would also have to be changed.

It was too much work.

[Irishdude]

Amazing project - this thing will eat the road up

[Irishdude]

Just found a mini and bought it.. Hopefully will be coming on wednesday.. Then will be looking to do the Hayabusa kit, I have alot ot live up to in this build.. Can't wait

[Zmini]

Oh have fun! Thats my next one :lol:

iv been hanging out to see this monster all finished. :twisted:

[magic robots]

Heheh, I'm with you, wozzel! Updates! Updates!

[Tavis1]

Last I heard he was taking offers on the first Carbon Fiber roof he bought................

[Zmini]

Sorry for the slow progress......

Ive had a bit of a setback in regards to timleyness cause Im working with a fabricator and unfortunately he's good, so he's busy. There was a couple of things that I couldnt do myself. But I have been assured that I should have the car back by the weekend then I will be going at a pretty fast clip after Xmas.

Yea if anybody wants a carbon roof I have one for sale. Instead of hacking up the first roof I decided just to have another one made custom with the roof scoop in it and sell this one. At some point someone will want one. So if you do.... PM or email me.

[Zmini]

What has been done

Seats brackets are made and Kirkey seats are mounted
Rear Sway bar installed
Exhaust has been redone to exit out the boot on the left side
Oil cooler fabricated and mounted
Turbo intercooler mounted to roof and all piping ran
Hard line water pipes back to engine are complete
Rear air jacks are installed
Dash has been trimmed and fits in nice just need to install gauges

Still left to do....about in this order
run brake and clutch lines
Stereo system
All wiring
Engine running
HID's
Carpet
Reinstall windshield, side and rear Perspex
Off to the dry cleaner to wash the seat covers and pants :mricy:

[magic robots]

Sweet man.

I must say I'm a little surprised to hear you're putting a stereo, HIDs and carpet in this thing; I thought it was going to be a full out race car!

Looking forward to more pics of your progress.

[Zmini]

Actually prob. wont ever be raced until after Im done with the showing it....

I know that may ruin it for you magic sorry.

[magic robots]

Haha not ruined at all -- still a wonderful thing of beauty!

When you're done showing it give me a call... :mrgreen:

[Zmini]

Clutch lines are in
Brake lines are in
Air lines are in

Looking good; I would like to know how much it weighs when finished.
All I had left to do 3 months ago was finish up my wiring; I had a guy put a harness together for me but he quit mid way, and there it sets until I can find time to sort it myself.
:(

[magic robots]

Looking good! What are you preparing it for in 2 weeks?

[Tavis1]

WOW!

[Zmini]

HIN LA, and a photo shoot.

[Irishdude]

you better be bringing that car up to HIN in San Fran too :mryellow:

your car is just amazing, beautiful work man..

[Zmini]

It may be there not sure if we are traveling up there or not. I know we (Auto Concept Elite) are going to the San Mateo show though.

[Irishdude]

Cool, yeah my car's not going to be ready for this years events but I hope to be out in force next year at all of these and more.. You have set the bar high :mrgreen: You going to be tracking it all this season? I have to see this thing in action

More updates please!!! Robert in Virginia

[Zmini]

After getting the car started, we found out the fuel pump had an internal short so I had to buy a A1000 Aeromotive pump, installed it. Then the water pipes under the car leaked........have to get those fixed. Then the custom rad. I had made leakes, have to send that back to the co. who made it. Other than that the car took home best of show ultimate unlimited at HIN. Bst of show vintage, best of show other and the people choice award.

As soon as I have the above fixed it will go on the dyno and get tuned. Then maybe another switch maybe not sure yet. Im thinking about dropping the engine and put in a fully built K24 build it up to a 700+ hp. We will see..... :mrblue: :mrblue: :mrblue: :mrblue: :shock: could technically be the highest HP mini in the world.

Holy ****! Congratulations, that is absolutely HUGE! I'm thrilled for you! You deserve it man, so much work has gone into that little car.

I'd love to see more detail pics of the completed car if you have them.

High fives all around!

[Zmini]

Ya I plan on shooting some good shots of it ASAP. We just came down to the wire to get it to the show so I couldnt get any good ones. However as soon as it gets the rad back in it and pipes I plan on a little photo shoot for you guys. Maybe even a model for your viewing pleasure.

i would like to see some close up pixs of the shift linkage? did zed cars sell you this as part of the kit or did you make it?

[Zmini]

Since mine is in the car its pretty hard to get a good shot but email Brian briancaulfield1@gmail.com he is the US rep for Zcars and I know he will have his kit here soon he can prob. give you better shots than I can.

My linkage is the one that came directly from Zcars the only thing I did was bend the shifter back some what to not hit my switch panel.

Wheels and brakes are in.

What kind of wheels and hubs are those?

The wheels are real 3-pc Image Wheels out of the UK (customized of course), center lock and also available in standard lug patterns. The hubs are KAD.
