Oh no, I'm very much a pikey like you. Born in Shittingbourne, moved to Lancahsire, moved to Manc, moved back to Shittingbourne, in total I've live in 7 houses I tink. Thats 1 every 3 years!

We should buy a pair of pack horses and a caravan and tour the country together! I think I've lived in erm, Urmston, Irlam, Hertford, Northwich, Kidderminster, Babbinswood (North Shropshire) and 3 different places in Ellesmere, North Shropshire. That's 9 in 29 years, or a rate of one every 3.2222 years! Damn it, you are more pikey than me!

Ed4ran has the minispares ones.

i think the minisprt ones are better as they come as a complete kit discs etc all together whereas the minispares ones only come ascalipers then you have to get discs turned down etc. and possible use metro pads with a minor mod to them. BUt you do get 5% discount from minispares.

what hubs are you using? the ones of the shed?

[The Matt]

Yup, taking them off one night this week to put new ball joint and wheel bearing kits in them, and give em a good clean up and painting.

I am gonna put the -ve camber bottom arms and adjustable HD tie rods off it too

I am leaning more towards the minisport calipers, they are nicer colours!

I'm kind of an orphan, born in the South and raised in the North, but no where will have me! *sob*

Back on topic now!

Decided for definite to go for the Megajolt kit so have bought some of the necessary bits. Need to look for some Molex multiplugs (or similar) from work and get my soldering iron out and buy a few metres of wire!

Been ages since I have done owt like this, but I am looking forward to making a new loom section and doing a decent job of wiring the Megajolt etc. into it.

Anyway, got this setup, gotta get some plugs, wires and spark plug leads to suit. Also gotta make a bracket fot teh pickup and get a bottom pulley modded for the tooth pattern:


As for Bingley, still looking for some alloy 4 pots and some other cheap bits, but that's about it.

oooh, note to self, get a new set of ball joint kits for the front hubs!

MMM i use the minispares alloy 4 pots under my Force Racing splits they are good and do the job well. Not seen the mini sport 4 pots.

I was supposed to be doing most of it last week, but I went to Rome instead.

This made me giggle!

After reading your "Project Shed Is Dead - Long Live The Freak" tagline and having it go round in my head ever since, I thought I'd come take a gander!

Looks awesome!

Have you decided to keep the numberplate? - I would, It gives the mini even more (if its possible) character!

Thats a nice workspace you have yourself!


I shall be dropping in regularly on this one - it looks a good 'un!



Keep it up!

[The Matt]

Perfect! That is just the kind of image I needed! Cheers Puddings.

[Puddings]

The wheels are 10x7's tho so bit wider that your avrage 10's

[The Matt]

Thanks for the comments Beanjardo!

I am keeping the plate, it makes the FReaK the FReaK! All of my workmates and family and friends know it by that name now too!
