Carlzilla- you have 2 minis... i have none... relinquish that clubby loving that red one you have though, looks like it has carbon fibre bumpers? lovely shot!

Same car ;)

Nah that was chrome, just the light playing tricks i think haha. When it had a round front was not long after I bought the car.
Then it had a clubby front, then it got painted satin black.
Now its a bare shell.

corr what a transformation :)

oh i see, what made you change to a clubby front end then? i love the satin black look too
oh noo is it being restored?

[Carlzilla]

More space in the engine bay for goodies, and ive always preffered the clubman front end really.
It is yeah, got a fair bit to do!

[minimaxie]

yeah thats true, what the plans for the engine then? or is that in your sig? gotta admit i do have a soft spot for clubby vans! saw one drive past me the other day at night, looked really cool! ahhh no have you got a project page then?

[Carlzilla]

1380 turbocharged, t3, intercooled, full straight cut close ratio box & drops, about 170 bananas :)

holy sh..COW! awesome mate i think when i get a mini a 1380 motor would be my holy grail lol. 170 horses sounds like a pretty sweet lil rocket nice one!

ahh will have to have a looksee omega pistons and digi dash too, gonna be such a cool mini!

[Carlzilla]

Yeah, Anymore and I think the reliability factor of things will suffer, and the drivability, I still want it to start of a morning haha!

[minimaxie]

lool love the build spec though! is it everyday mini then?

[Carlzilla]

Well, not as such but I will be using a car more often to potter about, at the start of the stripdown my work circumstances changed and I have no job, but until then I didn't actually need a car, so now it needs to be bombproof so it will take anything i need to throw at it if needbe.
