Hello from Canada!

Rolling in a '78 Mini 1000. Currently building a b16a motor for future swappage! It also helps i work for a Honda dealership here so finding parts is a breeze. Motor will be getting Civic TypeR pistons (11:1 Compression) not sure of what to do with the head yet, will probably leave it stock for the time being. Currently in search of 13" tires to fit on an 8" rim any suggestions? looking for lowest profile possible.

Howdy,

I drive a 93 mini cooper spi, totally original spec inside. Racing green with white roof.

Currently working through (well my new mechanic mate is) fixing little niggly issues as it's not been looked after in recent years.

I drive a 1996 mini sprite in green, the only mods ive done to it is put superlights on it, stone guards on the head lamps, im just polishing an alloy rocker cover at the moment, and ive bought a mountney steering wheel and an aston fuel cap.

Im looking to do more stuff to it im just not too sure. I dont really want to hack it about too much.
