A lot has happened to Project PP since the first episode. First up we get an update from Darren on what he has found out about the little Mini R52 Cooper S and what we have planned. Then it's time for me to get my hands dirty and fit the new uprated brakes and suspension. A big thanks to Bilstein for helping source the suspension components for the car.
Don't forget to let us have your questions about car set up and we will try and answer them later in the series.

Well done Pete, I hope to see the Pedlars garage for coffee, car meets and vehicle modifications.

Evening PP, love the look of the Go Cart behind ya. Great to see progress being made with the Mini. 👍🇬🇧

@PetrolPed Год назад

It’s a very cool thing 👌

@guylambrechts2303 Год назад

Nice to see you out of your comfort zone. That white mini in the back needs a separate video!! Cheers

Re Built my mini suspension with KW coilovers, neg camber arms front white line rear arb, rear adjustable arms etc etc had it professionally set up and was one of best handling cars I've owned. Big brakes also helped spirited driving. Light wheels and good tyres all added to fast road driving. The guy I sold it to couldn't believe how well it went round corners.

@DavideGTI86 Год назад

What tyres are you running?

Hi Pete. Great to see more Mini content! Question - what are the calipers? JCW?

@charliebutton5731 Год назад

They look like the budweg calipers. Very similar to the jcw ones :)

@PetrolPed Год назад

They are from Budweg. Basically a copy of the factory Brembo set up from the Gen 2 JCW 👍

@gavinivers8941 Год назад

Bilstein are a top product. The fun on the rear is the arms were threaded with the bolt ( its a strange looking thing ) so you may need to nut-sert the holes before putting back together.

@PetrolPed Год назад

Thanks for the heads up 👍

@blackkeymaestro Год назад

Looking forward to Ep .3. I just finished my R53 refresh myself, so I'm comparing notes on what you guys are up to! Unfortunately I melted my #1 piston due to possibly due to lean condition at w.o.t., so currently in the middle of an engine swap. So after all is said and done, make sure you check out those injectors, fuel pump and filter and vacuum lines!! 😁

@PetrolPed Год назад

Will do 👍

@johnbrown3951 Год назад

Every day is a school day when it is car maintenance for me. I am a huge petrol head but mechanics and fixing is not my thing I guess my Dad was the same so he passed nothing onto me so anything I know which is very little is self taught. Interesting content and I am looking forward to more.

@PetrolPed Год назад

It sure is 😂

@trev8591 Год назад

So you did _most_ of the work then, Pete? Looking forward to the suspension setup , really interested in that. Those brakes would stop a 747 at full chat!

@PetrolPed Год назад

I did the front offside. Darren did the other 3 corners 😜😂

@mackemc3021 Год назад

Great watch as usual Peter. Darren said on Saturday it was a fun day doing the filming. The rest of the plans for the car sound to notch too. I had the bilsteins on my mulgari clubby which reviewed last year and you know how good the set up was on that 🤔😏😉

@PetrolPed Год назад

I sure do 👌

@500bht Год назад

A few very important items needed whilst upgrading the r53 suspension. Adjustable top mounts a must. along with front lower arm poly bushings r50 front rollbar with poly bushings standard drop links work best. Roll centre inserts sized to wheel diameter a must. for the rear poly bushings for the rollbar and poly rear arm inserts along with bottom adjustable tie rod arms top arms left standard this will give you a lot of scope to enable a set up to your liking.

@PetrolPed Год назад

Still plenty of stuff to go on the car. Wait for the geometry set up vid 👍

@Jonathan-qz9kd Год назад

I have those bugweg brakes and they are great on track and road the only downside is I had those discs and found them noisy I have changed to grooved ebc discs now and they are silent! Great setup tho that it will be really good balance for fast road and the odd track day. The other change I found big was r56 rear arms and a bigger rear arb Superpro or whiteline with the froth stock arb is perfect!

@PetrolPed Год назад

Nice 👌

@lawrencegatt4515 Год назад

@Mrtallguy76 Год назад

Those brakes look seriously nice, will you be doing a parts list at any stage as I think a set of them would look awesome on my R53 ?

@PetrolPed Год назад

Yes. At the end of the project we’ll put a parts list with costs together 👍

@Jonathan-qz9kd Год назад

They are good shocks I bought some and the wait time was like 6 months I went with kw in the end did it around a year ago.

What brake calipers are those red calipers? And which set of coil overs, B14? they look great

@PetrolPed Год назад

They are by Budweg. A copy of the Brembos that you find on a JCW 👍

@fishtigua Год назад

Serious question Pedders. Are you looking for a track-day nutter or a fast roadster? Track days are maybe 3 or 4 times a year but on the road, every weekend. Guess how most people would use it?

@PetrolPed Год назад

We are going for a fast road car that can track every now and then as we are a little limited by the gearbox 👍

@minischrauber2695 Год назад

Interesting that you choose the Bilstein dampers. In the German Mini Community you will not find many that favour this combination. I'm looking forward to the driving experience that will be reported. Does the brake manufacturer deliver all needed certificates to get the car - brake combination officially approved? To optimize a car in Germany without losing its legal status is pretty difficult and I'm looking to find a brake that can be officially approved without mayor investigations and tests.

@PetrolPed Год назад

We don’t have that problem here in the UK. As long as they work and pass the annual MOT test you are good to go 👍

@govertvanamerongen5902 Год назад

What is the code for the bilstein dampers and appr. Cost? I am looking to purchase a r52 which is low ... it scratches on speed bumps...

@pCorba Месяц назад

Hi! What brake lines are you using? Do you have part number? Thanks!

@M17_Max Год назад

My R56 Mini spun and burst the brake pipe. Absolute nightmare. At least ended up with nice new copper brake pipes from the abs pump to both rear calipers though

@paulitomusica6949 Год назад

Hi, can you explain what are the main difference between the Bilsteins and OEM suspension? Also, do the springs make a difference e.g. is a larger diameter better than a narrow diameter?

@PetrolPed Год назад

Firstly big difference is we can change the ride height of the car. We’ll be going lower but not silly and also have a bit of rake in the car. Lower at the front than the back. Then there is how the spring and shock allow the wheel to move up and down. How it compresses, how it damps the bumps, how fast it opens back up after a bump. It will be firmer then the OEM shock but just better at keeping the tyre in contact with the road. Hope that helps 👍

@baccattack Год назад

Hi, how much unsprung weight did the bigger brakes add to the car and will the end setup account for this?

@PetrolPed Год назад

Not sure the weight different between the callipers but the new ones are heavier. What we lose in unsprung mass we’ll make up for in braking power 😂
