Hopfully in jan i am going to have around 400 extra notes to spend however i like. I will hopfully be buying some twin carbs but they come without filters so i need to put into consideration the filters.
There are a few things i dont want to get really.
Engine mods (insurance)
Seats (birthday present)
Wheels (i dont know what style i want yet)
What other stuff could i get for that money? Take into consideration ICE can be included.

Roll cage? Nice dash/guages?
i reckon you should deck out the interior.
As in: Door cards, alloy door set, centre console?,etc etc
yeah i reckon you should got all out and get the interior looking really nice! it is were you spend most of your time !
i would get i nice dash, set of seats door cards and handles gear knob ect.
your mini should then be more fun to drive and it wont effect the insurance as much as engine mods etc.
I would spend most of my cash on suspention upgrades/putting whats knackered right to make it handle nice, twin carbs are the last thing on a shopping list as an hif44 on a 1275 or a hif38 on a 998 are almost as good if set up correctly, get a nice ported machined head and some wheels that are not massivly phat, then u will be able to wop most people

Well im in the process of sorting out a dash and centre console so that is all hush hush at the moment.
As for the interior ive already done that with ally handels and stuff, the seats and dash will not match the interior as it will be dark colours so the interior will be re-done.
Interior sounds good. Also going to get some ice, ive posted that in the ICE forum. Just waiting to see what the ice people think.
Thanks alot.
10" wheels… job done..
begin the turbo conversion u know it makes sense.
i would spend it on any potential bodywork that needs doing ie, new sills. other than that new chrome for the front and back and some nice works style 4 spots and bar kit from mini sport.
Post some pics up of your car!
Thanks for the ideas so far.
For £400 id buy a nice set of wheels and arches!
wheels and arches!

HUMM i keep getting alot of people saying wheels and arches I dont want to get wheels yet as i dont know what i want, also i would rather wait until i renew my insurance.
Bodywork and suspension, no contest
as above ^
for 400 notes you could get a complete suspension setup like a ‘smoota-ride’ or maybe even a coil-over conversion?
