Hello everybody! Im new to all this R1 stuff so im in need of some technical assistance for my R1 4XV and I feel the best place to find it would be on here. With my 4XV being in a classic Mini I am not 100% on a couple of things but hopefully we can shed some light on the matters. Heres a pic of the car in question.
Cheers

My first question and most needed at this time is in here,
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2634" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Rizla my first outing was suppose to be today doing a sprint at Kames

I have only had the car a short time but im converting it to a full blown road legal race car but I changed the oil in it mid week and ever since then the clutch is slipping. So instead of Kames i went to work

I in Newcastle so not too far away, especially as the boarders are my play ground, I would guess your 125 north of me, so when are you free

Welcome in bud, I'd change back to whatever oil you were running previously

Cheers mate! Thats the thing I dunno what oil it was as it was in the car when I bought it. The oil i put in is the correct oil for the engine so there is obviously a weakness in and around the clutch so I would much rather do it right and have peace of mind knowing the clutch can take the strain.
