i like the floor after you painted it, hard to believe how well it came up from a quick fix.

have you tried a front anti-roll bar as didnt see one in the pic or just find you dont need it?

nice work drilling the clutch/flywheel housing too, im a big fan of this and think it looks awesome.

nice braided lines on font brakes and clutch hose, i just did that change over too.

cheers for the comment

yeah abit of spray paint and some grip tape has made it look 100x better, so cheap and so easy to do!

im hoping to buy a front and rear arb sometime soon, but ive put a deposit down on a miglia exhaust and race 3-1 manifold, so i best pay for that first

i only decided to drill the cover because at combe there was alot of smoke coming from it :L

i have found out why it handles so bad aswell, the bolts have come undone on the subframe mounts, and on the other side there was only one bolt.... which was loose! so hopfully that should have sorted it

how do you find the power and torque from the weber and is it a 45 and is it lumpy or poppy

[furiousjim]

Sorry if I'm a bit late, but those floor pans with the grip tape look sweet! I've got plenty around I can put to good use, cheers!

the weber seems to be ok, its running a 649 cam so its pretty lumpy, but still very drivable

thanks for the compliments, should be some more ideas coming up soon

[dean.austin]

yeah yeah it sounds gud ive hav a 45 with some sort of a high lift cam but im not shore what one but u can tell that there is one there theres also a litten fly wheel and some other sorta stuff on it like an slark racing head its real hard to tune my ones not fireing on the 1st and 4th cylinder but cant find the solution

I have one of these cams in my 1293 and it's a bit of fun on the track

[retroracer1275]

i love the 649 cam! but even tho its over 100bhp it still feels slow, it needs a supercharger or somthing

i had that problem with my other mini dean, 1-4 where getting fuel, but just not giving the cylinders enough, you could take the leads off and the engine would only have a small difference in sound, if that makes sence

to be honest the cam on the road is fine, but because my geabox syncos have given up it was bad trying to drop down to keep it running! mainly in town when you make a huge crunch :L

[dean.austin]

sorry did you find the answer to do the problem

[dean.austin]

what els have u got done to your engine to give you over 100bhp im not shure what mine is at but it has a s-r-e head and the weber with a high lift cam so i dnt no what to expect

[Artful Dodger]

dean, you will be nearly there, i would put the weber on a 7" long maniflow manifold and a large bore LCB or a 3 into1 race exhaust, and some uprated clutch bits to cope, and you would be there:)

and retroracer, is it comparable to the kent race cam? i think i might get that one, i like em a bit lumpy

[retroracer1275]
