hi took the mini out to santapod on sunday didn't like pulling away atall...... no guts at the bottom back on the rollers me thinks

No disrespect meant but it doesn't sound like a R1 on the vid.
Were you holding back on the max revs?

Set off in second?

In second would be worse there a flat spot under 3k

Not an expert but the pod track is very sticky and therefore you need quite a few revs and a tough clutch to get a good take off. In a car, iirc, you need to be at 5k plus revs and then side step the clutch, hell on the drive train but only way to keep it in the powerband off the line. With a bike engine I guess that is 10k revs and fingers crossed.

How is the car geared?

Also has the engine been on the dyno? it should be round the 130 at the wheels

How high are you reving it?

It should fly for a mini, like the red one with white front end here:

Its 138 at fly even when driving it on road it struggles until 3k just booked it in with tts for a rolling road there...

The gearing is very important for bike engined cars, the red one is geared for about 125mph at the redline. I have driven that red mini and it can pull away easily on tickover, if you go for it, it lights the tyres up easily

Hopefully it will sorted after your dyno session

3k? Really?

You shouldn't be doing 3k revs at any point on that run. You might launch an a-series Mini at 3k - you need to be at least twice that in a BEC.

I had it at just over 6k then as soon as the clutch bites will go below 2k then takes a while to build up them goes
