Hello everybody,

 

I 'm Dutch, so please apologize for my mistakes in English language.

If you feel the impulse, to correct my English, than please be my guest.

 

My MINI was a 1000 HLE from 1985.

After an engine swap it's a 1293 with:

Mahle forged pistons and Goetze pistonrings.

Richard Longman head.

1.5 rockers

Kent 286 camshaft.

2 SU HIF 38 carburettors.

LCB manifold + RC40 exhaust.

MG METRO ventilated discs.

 

Unfortunately while driving on the German autobahn one of the connecting rods  the nuts loosend up.

I think everyone of you can imagine what happened.

I have a 1275 spi Sprite

I have a 78 Leyland Mini (s) 998cc bought sight unseen from ebay, having loved mini's since I saw the new (then old) Italian Job, and years of youtube videos of races and shows.

 

The mini was then delivered to SYDNEY NSW from MELBOURNE VIC in Australia.

 

I am in the process of easing my mind in cleaning up and tidying up as well as "increasing" the safety factor but inspecting everything, and she (who has no name yet) has 4 pot disks with vented and grooved rotors and will have new shoes by the end of the year. Along with the new full size spare that I have recently purchased to replace the original wheel and cross-ply tire that is in the boot (she is currently sitting on 12inch superlites, a change of a previous owner).

 

She also has minivation bonnet hinges.

 

The plan for the future is cover the wider stance with clubman flares, and install a "hidden" radio/mp3. and maybe some engine tweeks. 

 

Happy to support tmf hence the +

 

 

Nick.

Just for all the haters on here .....

 

Just updated the daily cars. I have got rid of my R56 petrol One  for an 18 month old R56 Cooper D and the good lady has traded in her Coupe Cooper S for a brand new Coupe JCW.

 

 

Dont worry, we still have the Cooper SPi
