I'm Steve for this week with cars and tomorrow I'm going ice racing. I'm going to take my Austin Mini Cooper S and the last time you saw this car I was rally crossing it in the dirt. It still needs some cleanup from that event so I'm hoping that the ice and the snow should clean the car real well just like it did the Ranger last week but before I get up there I need to change to my ice tires and look the car over. On the front of the car I'm going to run some Nokia 52010 ice tires. These are made in Finland. I'm choosing this tire for the front because it has more studs than the tires that I'm going to be putting on the rear. I want the rear end of the car to move around just a little bit. On the rear of the car I'm going to be fitting some separate 52010 tires. These are made in Austria and the studs on these tires are only on the outside of the tires whereas the tires on the Nokia's alternate from the outside to the inside. This car is powered by a 1275 A-Series engine. This is not the original engine because I do road race this car. This engine is equipped with a single SU side draft carburetor. It's also been upgraded with an alternator and electronic ignition. On the inside the controls are pretty standard except that the switches have longer necks on them so that you can use them with gloves on. It does have a removable steering wheel, a cage and a side net. In the rear it does have an external kill switch as well as a fuel cell. There is no sender for this fuel cell so to check the fuel I have to take this stick, stick it down into the fuel cell, down through the foam and then where it's wet we can see where the fuel level is. So it looks like I have about a gallon and a half a fuel left. I made it up here but the mini is not liking the 5 degrees Fahrenheit weather so I haven't hooked out to my truck to try to dump start it. We're about to go onto the ice here. This is a transolution. Now we are on the lake. As far as how we're going to run this today we got a lot of cars, a lot of people I don't know if there's double drivers, dual drivers. So I�s 5th Jan meus anymore present Pure dr's It's now starting to melt a little, get a little bit slicker. We did snow 3-4 inches here last night so we had fresh powder when we got here. Now it's getting a little slushy. The minis are not getting around as well so I think I will just call them today. I had a lot of fun out here. The minis actually went it was on course, performed great. If you want to see more videos like this, comment below and click subscribe.
