Aye a 1380 would easily outstrip a vts. Should be quick man.

Just a modded 1275. Me and my dad are gunna do the work on it.

Twin carbs, ported and flowed head, double valve springs, 286 MD cam with duplex vernier kit, lightened fly, (maybe an uprated clutch not sure on this one), S/S LCB with and rc40.

Probs get some different wheels and hi-lo's.

Want to keep it a bit of a sleeper so i can show the tracky b's and tuck in's what a proper car is lol.

Same cam as me, probably going to be about the same, im not sure about the VTS, they can go pretty quick. Aiming to beat my mates 1.4 16v polo. he's got 100bhp. Probably jus a bit more than me. Im not sure about the clutch, Ive heard the standard one can stand up fine, and the racing ones mean you either gun it, or stall. Im not sure, ive got a brand new standard one on mine at the minute. Hopefully it should be fine, so long as I dont ride it.

I think it's the best cam for the performance i want. I have a bike to go to work on aswell so it's not gunna bother me with the idle.

With a slick 1380 i reckon you could easy beat a vts. There 0-60 is only like 7.8 sec i think? 1380's can match that. You will smash that polo. I've seen a video on here of a 1380 beating a seat ibiza 1.9 TDi and the TDi had a head start.

Yeah I saw that, but that 1380 is a little higher spec than mine. And that was a 100hp ibiza and the saxo vts is something lk 118 or 120 hp. Ah well ive got a bit more lightness on my side. Saxo's are around 950 kg and minis are less than that, If I took the subs out which im very much considering, would be even better. We'll just have to wait and see, im bidding on 1.5 rockers atm aswell so that should give me a little bit more.

Minis are only about 500kg in standard trim aren't they? because the shell is only 150 and i think it's around the same for the engine so the rest must just be the subby's and suspension.

Are you stripping yours out aswell? Will save a lot of weight.

[mini_mad69]

I think there around 750kg i havnt got my haynes with me so can't check. I may strip it out, but I do like some sort of refinment as I drive it back and forth over the bridge quite often. My mate had a stripped mini, which had the 1380 before, and that was sooo loud, and he had a quieter exhaust. I may strip out the back, mount the amps under the front seats, so i'll just have my cage and harness' thats if minisport ever send the cage that is.

Just get some ear protecters it'll be fine lol.

When did you order the cage like?

[mini_mad69]

Well i ordered the cage around the begining of december, they had one to send out to me but it was badly scratched and chipped, so they said I could take that one or wait for another to come in, I decided to wait, It didn't bother me that much as my car was off the road. My car is coming together now so Im hoping it'll arrive soonish. I did wear ear protectors when I first started driving it because it had absolutly no sound proofing in it.

It'll probably be worth the wait. You want it to be right.

Just bring the ear protectors out of retirement lol.

[AndrewJ530]

Get that bloody engine together man, i want to see some videos lol.

Hope the MOT goes well bud !

[mini_mad69]

Yeah me too, i got picked up from the train station today by my father and one of the first things he told me was that I should get a new head gasket because it felt "odd" when torquing down. He could have told me ealier, I don't know why he did it in the first place anyway. So tomorrow ive got too, redo the ehadgasket and see if its "odd" then plumb up the engine. Bolt on the carb and the rest of it. Early night tonight me thinks and ring ip partco in the morning ordr a headgasket in. Should have videos of it running asap.

[AndrewJ530]
