CaptainBland08 found the infomation on previous pages, I have no idea about your car or what spec/weight everything is on it. Just do it and see if it works, stop asking everyone how low their cars are.

Thanks for the compliments on my car though, keeps me going knowing someone else is liking it.


I fitted a new headunit today, dvd player and everything, I put a quick video on my youtube but it's pointless, you all know what a dvd looks like and all know what a headunit looks like

No more luxuries yet, looking to get a reversing camera, I know it's pointless in a mini, but it's something to show off with

More sound deadening and sound system to be fitted yet, although im going to concentrate on uni a bit more now as it's my last few months and it kinda counts.

yeah i know but i was only asking mate hahaha and yeah that sounds good with your mini and maybe you should concentrate on uni as if it is the last few months you dont want to fail right at the end hope you get all the work done
cheers

Go for it mate, see who gets the turbo in first

Fitted a new TIM temp gauge beacuse mine just stopped working for some reason, it then overheated on the test drive which is very un-nerving.
Topped up with a drop of water and it seems fine now though, then wired all backlights into the aux gauges. So I can now see whats going on at night.

I've got car insurance due at the end of the month, so im going to have to stop spending money if I want to eat/drink

Realy can't wait to get this 1380 and turbo in now.


Oh and I've got some 6x9 speakers on their way to me. And I've been told a minispares order had arrived at home for me, so thats everything to build up the 1380 up either arrived or on its way. (I hope)

Great to see you still cracking on with it all ben! It does sound pretty damn tasty in that vid to be fair! Is this your third or second year then?

[HARBER07]

Will try to get the transfer housing sent off next week sometime Ben. I had a load of stuff arrive last week, but they sent it all in bags .

Hey Ben, Just been going though you thread again. Just spotted on the first page your center console.



That clock on their is that one powered by the car battery? How deep is it. I want a smiths one to go in roughly the same place on my red mini but I was thinking that it may not fit cause of the heater.

Thanks.

Its not a smiths one, I cant rememner the name, my dad had it in his mini when he was my age.It runs off the car power year. It was around 70 mm deap i reackon but was bigger than standard size 52mm gauge.

Insured it today, so that £502 gone from the turbo fund. Still not a bad price I think, for a pretty highly modified car at 20 years old. Thats insured with the 1380 aswell.

My posh new head unit started playing up yesterday, pulled it out and it was dripping in water. Immediatly pulled the fuses for its power.

Pulled it out the dash and dried it out. Fitted it back in and it works fine again, so some clear silicone around the windscreen seal and I hope its sealed up.
I've got to get a new bonnet seal aswell, as I think some water is coming in and leaking down the bulkhead.

[HARBER07]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiicckk!!

My headunit got leaked on when i first fitted it in the mini

[CaptainBland08]

moisture is causing the little dot matrix screen on mine to play silly buggers... im gonna mount mine differently soon anyways...

[mini_mad69]

I came home this weekend. A bit unexpected.

Messed around with a few bellhousings and bearings, and managed to get it all to work and fit.
I've got it all together now aswell.





My camera quality seems to be getting worse? stupid phone.




I was going to pull the 998 and drop the 1380 in this evening/afternoon. But im here alone, mates are busy or away and i can't lift the thing out of my shed to get it to the garage on my own. Atleast it will give me time too clean up the fitted transfer housing and paint a few last things.

Get it 100% ready to lift the 998 and drop in the 1380 in a day. It'll be nice to not have to rush it.
