There were around 30 MINIs @ Primart, out of which 24 of them were competitors. I would say it was a very well organized rally and we all should thank to the Rally Officials.

Even the results calculations were done electronically and each and every competitor got their scores printed at the end.

RACERSEDGE, I drive a wine red 1.3 SPi.

MINIACE should have a good number of pics at the start near AMRC track. Mate, plz post few….

my car had a problem with the fan belt as it broke on saturday morning just before the rally start , but didnt give up just managed to get a new belt & started off as the last competitor without the front grill even ( didnt have time to fix it ) & managed to finish 3rd

Yes. That’s my car. I now drive it every day to office to beat traffic jams

As you say I also had many problems with the main fan belt. After trying out all available types of belts, now I use an 'A' type local belt. I tried from very expensive to local belts, this particular one is the only belt that works closer to what I wanted.

1. Local belt has a little elasticity that helps not to get the water seals damaged when you run tightened (any way you have to run tightened if you speed while A/C is on).

2. Not slipping when A/C is on at higher RPMs.

3. Belt is low cost - it's below Rs.100- as I remember

However this local belt starts slipping if the engine gets over heated. To overcome the heating issue, I’ve taken 2 measures:

1. Using a 74 Celsius thermostat valve, which keeps the water temperature at 94 Celsius all the time.

2. Wired the radiator auxiliary fan to switch on when the A/C is on, apart from the thermo-fan switch’s functionality.

thanks GMI for the info.

as you mentioned in low revs the car is very good with the ac on, the moment you put the foot down the belt starts slipping.

today i'm removing the alternater pully to check.

anyway my car temp wont go more than 1/2 with the ac on even in heavy traffic. i'l keep the cheap belt thing in mind .

i come to M & M center very often & i must say your car IS one well maintained car to admire

cheers
