No pic's i'm afraid, but you ended up parking up behind our club in the afternoon (we ended up with a stand 3 times the size that we needed sadly). It did look good in the flesh, but sadly missed you out on the track

Had a flat tyre and no where wanted to touch the split rims which is a pain. Ended up using the tyre machine to break the bead then removing the all the bolts and the outer dish.

 

Also found this pic of combe, with Ross looking bored...

Just stick a vvc or turbo lump in?

Vvc everyone does this conversion, I struggle to find any low mileage vvc engine locally.

The two known turbo k minis seem to involve a lot of work to still destroy clutches, turbos and bottom ends, I cannot be bothered with that. Plus the turbo hanging out the front looks hash.

The above two options also don't have the awesome throttle body noise.

Dan on 16v runs that setup and is getting 200 brake but on a 1.8

I don't really want to remake my frame and shafts though for a pg1. So the weak point is going to be my r65 gear box.

I'm thinking it is cheaper and easier to just fit a vvc.

Your gearbox will still be your weak point with a 160 vvc but get an r65u it will fair better

If I could buy an uprated gearset that would prob be easier than sourcing a "u" box.

She started first time after being sat for getting on 2 months. All the dead flies on the front Had turned to mold.

Also the rear shock bushes are knackered creating a knocking noise, need to replace them.

I've just bought a new toy that's a v6 with 265hp and 620nm,so mini has had zero attention recently.
