Hey, we love everything about your little car! What a great project, from the flippy flappy thing at the front right the way through to the pipes at the back. So much so that we have made something for you...

If you would like them for your Mini 'PM' us and we can send them.

We are big Rally fans too and have already got our VIP passes for the Race of Champions at Wembley. Dampened by the obvious absence of one Special Champion it'll still be a great event and most likely a Memorial to Colin McRae's career.

Keep up the Good work!

looking good chap, but im not sure on the straps onto the A panels sorry dude

[JetBLICK]

Opinion is divided on the straps, but i like em... got some for the boot too

Was woken by the very cheery UPS man this morning In true TMF project tradition it was mandatory that i get everything out to.. er.. 'check' it and take photos

S/C droppers, S/C Clubman gearkit, Super 2core rad, and a load of other bits n bobs - bearings, ARP bolts, baulk rings, gaskets, radius arm pins and other bits that are essential, cost a lot of money, and never really consider when pricing up a build









4 weeks till i can build this little beauty.... can't wait!!!

v-nice. Wish i could spend all my money on my car but I've gotta save up for my travelling and uni.

just a quick question, did you need anything else for your reverse flip front except the superfast minis kit and the front end? How long did it take you to fit?

lookin good dan should be able to hear u coming with the wineing lol not the flames poppin out ure exhaust lol

[supermotolee]

love this engine build have you thought about how useable the engine will be? i.e. will it be ok for traveling to shows? or is it just for local blasts and track days? just wondering as i've gone a bit mad with mine solid mounting this and that car is great fun but i dread taking it on the motorway for a long trip even bought some shooting ear defenders for the shows next year haha,

cant wait to see the build pics and what it pulls on the dyno top project!

... what you see up there is my student loan

yes, yes.. yada yada.. 'loans are supose to be ther to support you education'.. rar rar rar... 'i pay my taxes so you can spend em on ur car'.... blah blah - I'll pay taxes one day for some little scrote to do the same, and mite as well enjoy it all now

Took a few days to fit and get right... its the same as fitting any other flip front, then you just put the hinges on at the end.

Your always thinkin Pie.. get off your arse and go fix ur motor!

Haha, hope so, tho it seems you can get varying results. Oli (the ginger guy with the wig ) has a set in both his car and one set is much much louder than the other... i'm hopin mine are of the loud variety

Got no idea! Hopefully it wont be too bad, the cam is similar to the 286 in terms of duration, and i've seen people with 1380's with 286's and 1.5 rockers on the road with no trouble. And my 998 had a 286 in it too so im kinda used to it. It may suffer a bit from low down torque, but it should be smooth from mid to top end - *he hopes* The biggest problem i think is gonna be wear, i probably wont have the problem of massive amounts of torque killing everything, but if i thrape it everywhere like i did my 998 its gonna need frequent rebuilds to replace wearing parts. I've tried to get the best where i can, things like bearings, followers, baulk rings, and i've had the crank turfrided.

It betta be okay for drivin to shows.. i want to take it on BH2N nxt yr

Never thought about solid mounting it to be honest, whats that like? Everyone you ever speak to says thats purely a race thing, and with a minis solid suspension and the condition of some roads, id have a fear of the aluminum cracking :S

Don't think i can afford the dyno trip any more we'll see, depends if i can blag them down on price a bit Would be good tho, means i cud just plonk the motor in and go afterwards

Soooo, what type of moccasins are they? I think they clash with your gown a little! I think you should have gone for more of a mule type slipper myself, like these:



Anyway, carry on!

Loving the SC choice too!
