Hi Andy

When you mot'ed your mini did the engine details get changed on the registration documents? I'm asking because I need a copy of some sort of documents to get a mini tested in Denmark with the same engine because it is not a standard modification. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hey, I cant see the pics unfortunately, however the build seems very similar to one I have just purchased. Just wondering which radiator you have used?

 

Thank you

The feont being extended by 90mm doesnt look much diff to standard or do i not notice

only just sorted out new laptop so no updates. the extended front is only really noticeable when parked next to a standard mini 

[andy86]

some updated photos of it. now on throttle bodies and made 214bhp 178ftlbs on the rolling road

an the latest bits/ upgrades, I've been trying to tidy some bits up I wasn't happy with and sort my brakes out so have opted for a wilwood pedal box and hydraulic clutch slave conversion hopefully have it finished at the weekend ready to enjoy it agains

so been plodding along with this when time allows I decided I wasn't happy with the interior so. have redone the dash and wired up the steering wheel controls. plumbed in the fire extinguisher and tidied up a few bits. and finally made a decision on a new set of wheels. I've gone for the specialist components 13 x 7 split rims in their classic style like the photo but with a different colour centre. can't wait for them to turn up now. I'll be sure to post photos once they're on the car 

[andy86]

new wheels turned up today the look awesome can't wait to get them fitted. may need a small spacer on the front as clearance of the callipers is a little tight

Great project! How did you find the rollcage fitment and quality? Seems a good alternative to safety devices.

[JakeJakeJake]

very tidy, what exhaust manifold did you use?

Was it you that won the Show-n-Shine at Castle Combe on Saturday? (07/07)
