It's bank holiday so we expect to see the stripes fitted tomorrow 

 

I'm afraid I failed in that task! The driving rain meant I didn't even get to try! 

 

You'll have to wait until next week now. 

I'll also be fitting my new exhaust that should be coming this week. I copped out and went for a boring system. 

Maniflow LCB with a single box side exit system. 

I hope it sounds nice!

I haven't seen those air filter things before, where did you get them?

[72clubman]

The air filter stub I bought from DSN Classics, it's from their Retrosport billet range.

I know I can't now be impartial as I'm indirectly employed by them, but they do make some beautiful stuff. 

 

But it's certainly a hell of a lot nicer than the rusty jubilee clip I had there before! 

 

& before anyone asks yes I did pay for it rather than making one go missing.... 

 

 

I'm sure they'll be plenty more of their stuff to come on this car!

Those GT stripes really make the other stickers work now - I like.

I like the stripes....

Keep the 1275 stripe kit, lose the others and you've got a pretty perfect Mini in my eyes :)

[Jase]

Top stripes :)

[Chance]

More stickers needed like the examples from the other thread you made

[big-jay]

Those GT Stripes look really smart with those wheels, ties it all together nicely !

Will agree with the others though, if you lost the other stickers then that would be a perfect looking clubman !

The word 'stripes' is loosing all meaning now!

 

But they look great!

Evening all :)

 

Well that was a hectic weekend! 

 

In total I managed over 530 Miles! 

 

Thankyou for the compliments on the stripes, I think they look the dogs danglies. :)

 

Stopped in at minispares to grab some drip rails for my resto project. 

 

 

 

On sunday I was at Shelshly Walsh for the Retro Rides gathering. Sadly I arrived too late for the hillclimb sign on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stripes were a little tricky due to my wobbly doors, but damn they were worth it.

I used these, and fully recommend them.

& finally todays latest addition. I figured since I'm no longer running the correct grill ( I've run out of decent late grills!) I had to go early, and early grills have to have badges :)

So after an epic weekend the poor mini had developed a bit of a shudder low down in the rev range. From around 2-2200 rpm under load. I checked timing, fueling, spark, compression. All perfect! This evening I topped up the oil, checked and re torqued everything, and just a general inspection. It's now significantly reduced! Bloody cars! 

 

This is also waiting to go on...
