Looked on ebay, your right very cheap, whats the catch? the market is abit flooded with new mini ones, people remove them for john cooper upgrades and the like. making them work on your engine isnt too bad, just sort a pulley, some mounts, and some ducting.... away you go!  |

Are you going to be using a suck-through or blow-through system?

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

I was going to use a Nikki Twinchoke(because I have one lying around). Would that be suitable? Have to suck through it I imagine.

Got a few new bits n bobs, but not realy don't that much... It is ready for the MOT, just needs a air filter fitting, i have also sorted out the interior light, new tail lights, hazard switch, carb and a few other bits. I managed to pick up some crazy leatherette (sp) spot light covers.  The new engine has got a gasket set, brand new main bearing shells (big ends look to be new) and a new mini super charger!   I cant start to properly build it soon! and there will be some pictures of the exhaust manifold I'm making for my college project to come! Nick |

I love these little beasts, the rear door is great. Wanted to buy one that was on eBay some time ago but was in Ireland, dead cheap though! Have you considered painting it black, would look really funky and would also make it more mysterious and harder to identify (not that it's identity is bad, it'd just be really sneaky). Any idea of performace figures once completed?
