Now that I know how to put up pictures, heres my project so far. Its currenly waiting for its respray and engine and then it should be ready. Any thoughts on what could be better?
This is the car with its group 5 arches, buckets and the rest of the mods to date.
yes, i think them wheels should be on mine!!! they are sweeet!!
seriously tho mate, looking REAL nice with the 10’s!! a roll cage will go nicely with them buckets aswel!!
keep up the good work!
Rich
Wow, nice alloys!!!
THats one nice mini.
Nice and shiny!
Nice job, especially with the yoko’s… I assume you’ve gone to 7.5 or 7.9" disks and have not spacered the 10’s out to fit over the 8.4’s ?
sweet mini, what exhaust you got?
Ye, Ive gone for 7.5 inch S gear and drilled disks and EBC greenstuff. With the end so light i can get the rear wheels off the floor at 90mph with the pads warm.
Whats your operating system mate?
Its a got 1.85 inch stainless steel RC40 millenium zaust. Its not too big and doesnt zap power like some of the large bores. It sound lush. Ive got a recordin on my pc but im not sure weather i can put it up on the forum? ![]()
cool mines 1.75" single pipe on left side
Heres a picture of my big boy toy. Its a 1275 a seires block(pre A-Pus) Offset bored to 74 mm (1400 or 1399). Its been modified for nitrous with a full race 37/31mm head. Its conducted by a kent 286 cam and duplex timing chain. The box is a sccr built by myself and supplied by minisport. The carbs a Hiff 44 for now but when its worn in and ive got used to the extra power I will probable put 2 of these on alongside the nitrous.
This is a close up of the head. Its modified for nos but in this pic it was not quite finished. After this shot it was skimmed, had new guides and was fully ported but only polished on the exhaust ports as i beleive you can loose power if you do the inlets.
the chrome trim around the top of the doors (like MK 1) looks good on a dark car ![]()
Your completely right. I love that but i cant find anywhere that do the stuff. Ive looked at the mini shows but still no luck. Great mind think alike A.

like this ? cant remember where i bought it at one of the mini showes :smartass:
Heres a pic of the gearbox. I assembled this myself and to be perfectly honest, when i took the original gearset apart it was a bit dawntin. But, and this is a big BUT, it wasnt that hard. I read the Mini World “Keep Your Mini Alive” magazine and it was very clear with some good simple tips. All bearing were replaced so hopefully itll take the 140bhp im gunna throw at it.
your Mini is gorgeous!!!
Can’t wait to get back on 10’s with the Clubby now, they are by far the best wheels to be having.
You want to be careful of that 'box though, there’s a dodgy gear near the speedo drive! ![]()
ohhhh great pics, cheers.
Can I have your min? please?? lol
Old Skool u hero i want ur car!!!
How old are you? Must be minted too have all that class stuff or just know a lot of people in the right places lol.
By far my favebit is those wheels they are so so so sweet.
But all round the car looks great. With that engine somebody’s guna be havin some serious fun!
Spend the days cleanin it an the evenings hunting boy racers!!! LOL
When your ready for twin 1.3/4’s give us a shout, I have 3 pairs ( lh/rh ) off V8 Rovers in the garage…
Building a pair up for my 1400, may seem overkill but hey, nothing ventured…
