If you want a Mini that will give you rapid acceleration between bends, it’s not just how much power you’ve got that matters — it’s how quickly that power works for you. And if there’s one thing that will take the sparkle out of your performance engine, it’s having a heavy old flywheel and clutch assembly getting in the way. That’s because the engine has to put effort into getting that flywheel turning before it can really maximise forward thrust on your car.

A lightened flywheel and clutch assembly will transform your Mini’s performance. With less weight, there is less inertia for the engine to overcome, the engine will build revs more quickly and dramatically reduce the weight the engine sees to move — and that means faster acceleration.

Now MED Engineering is offering one Mini Magazine reader a chance to win its ultralight U/L ST2 clutch assembly. The stage two clutch assembly is based around MED’s competition clutch parts and is ideally suited to fast road or rally use. It includes an ultralight steel billet flywheel, ultralight steel billet backplate, and is assembled with an AP bonded clutch plate, orange clutch cover, six spring steel drive straps, and six EN19T drive strap bolts. Once assembled, it is dynamically balanced. Pre-engaged or inertia starter ring gears are both available at no extra charge. See the website www.med-engineering.co.uk for more information.
