HI GUY'S AND GIRLS!!!!
tho i'm not new to this forum, i am in the sense that i haven't really used it yet!!!! lol


righty i thought id start by introducing my more important side........ my mini

i have a new cooper S as a day to day drive, but my passion is my 2001 rover mini cooper with sportspack


in 2004 i had my car to the stunning cooper works garage and had the 90 bhp (wink!!) kit fitted.

then because rover cant build cars the rot set in (bad times!!!)
so for the last 2 years its been in a blokes garage being pretty much fully hand built, the spec when its complete is as follows:

PERFORMANCE!!!!

-John cooper works 90bhp tunning kit (stage 3 head, 1.5,1 roller tipped rocker, exhaust & manifold, performance inlet manifold, sparkplugs)
-fitted an SW5 profile camshaft but removed it because of fueling issues have now had a mini speed fast road cam fitted
-double valve spring set + new followers
-10 row oil cooler w/smaller filter, braided hoses etc
-vernier duplex timing chain
-73.5mm omega pistons
-over bored block
-84mm stroke ni-tempered, wedge bladded crankshaft
-burlen throttle body54mm
-ignition leads
-SC/CR gears
-3.2-1 final drive 108mph @ 6000RPM!!!!!!
-drop gears
-new clutch
-new steering rack
-pipercross induction kit
-quick shift
-gaz fully adjustable coil overs
-EBC grooved & vented discs, standard calipers w/green stuff pads
-twin fuel tank


EXTERIOR!!!

-bodywork fully de-seamed except roof
-de-bumpered
-wheel arches modified to get rid of the bumps & dints where the bumpers & seams dropped in!
-fog light moved and fabricated into the bum of the car!!!
-bodywork in RED
-roof in silver
-sports pack wheel arches in silver
-bonnet in silver (cooper stripes removed because too many people use them on cars that arent cooper!!)
-Fog light has been fabricated into the back bumper/metalwork


INTERIOR!!!

-standard black/silver milenium edition sports pack interior
-show cage
-dvd player
-speakers uprated + re-wired
-center console & arm rest to match the seats


it's not finished yet but what done so far is stunning!!!
will also be fitting a set of yoko A048R's and possibly some light weight satin black alloys 13" x 7"
and maybe some serious bucket/harnesses & a proper bolt in/weld in cage!!!

will be having a new injection system fitted when he's done!!!
hoping for around 120bhp maybe more!!!!

Looks very nice! What are you doing about the MEMs ECU, I didn't think they could adapt to such modified engines?

no its a *rubbish* system!!!!!
cant deliver fuel for more than about 90bhp!!!!

but i have an uprated fuel pressure regulator.

so when i get it back im doing a 1000miles to run it in!!!!!

then when i've done that im having a fully mappeable system that....... i can't remember who suplies!!!!!!!
lol

i have done it to see if i can get an mpi to be fast!!!!
my 220bhp cooper S is my make lol

Speak to Specialist Components. Their New TYphoon ECU may well be able to do what you need?

thats the one!! lol!!!!
yeah i seen em @ mini in the park, seems very impressive!!!

just like i say gotta run the beast in when i eventually get it back!!! lol

[miniboo]

i would get the ECU first and then run it in. The Stock ECu may cause more damage than you think. especially if it is running lean

well thats why i wasn't going to rev it over 3k because i had a cam fitted to it and was loosing power from 5K but there was no power before 3!!!!! lmao\!!!!

Very nice mini!

The silver bonnet works i wont be so daring just incase it looked awful

Nice bit of kit under the bonnet aswell

THANKS

i went for it even though the bloke doing it wasn't sure but i thought i gotta try it!!!

as everyone uses the cooper stripes!!!!

it's kinda euro styleee but on a proper car

i'm only keeping the wings cooper badges on it & i have a john cooper works badge of a bmw S for the boot
as a subtle reminder of what in there!!

There is always the option of VEMs or MS?

[sir Jake the brit]

please explain!! whats VEMs AND MS???????

are they companies???? mini speed maybe??!!!! :S

[iansmini]

Or use a metro 1.4 ECU with the injectors to go with?

[sir Jake the brit]

Or use a metro 1.4 ECU with the injectors to go with?

will that run the silly way that rover adapted the inlet for only two injectors??? is it fully mappable
my idea is to get a custom setup
which should set me back around £1200 all in and set up!!!

[Jammy]

VEMs and Megasquirt (MS) are both 'DIY' ECU systems. VEMs you buy as a pre-built circuit board, but MS you can literally buy all the components from Maplins and solder it together yourself. Google has loads of info!

ahh some lad with a 106 ralleye mentioned the mega squirt. is it where you get soft wear for your laptop to plug straight in???
that's be fun tho maybe id just prat it up!!! maybe best to get someone in the know to sort it!! lol


tho i think i may look at it seriously when i get the beast back )
