What mini do you drive and are there any mods done to it ?
Also what are your plans !

78 mini 1000 le, so badged in NZ. .
yellow, still my drive car, but stacking up the bits and pieces in my garage to install once I am able to strip and bring the body back to its former glory.
I have a 1330 with all the bits and pieces, a worked head and twin 1.5 su's . The block was prepared by a kiwi mini icon, murry locke, hepolite pistons. The diff is a 3.26:1 for decent motorway driving. Now all I need is to put it in the car, but I want to do a decent job on the body first.
I would also like to keep the 10" wheels, so I will be getting 7.5"calipers (not inexpensive I have realised). I would also like to get a set of wide cooper rims, but they are as scarce as chickens teath.
Any suggestions are welcome as I am new to the mini scene, and intend growing old with mine.

1994 Japanese spec 1.3SPi registered as a 74. Stock engine and drivetrain except the PO has replaced the ECU with a Megasquirt. Recaro LX seats on Wedge Engineering brackets,Mountney hub an NRG quick release and a Momo wheel inside. Currently up on jack stands getting Hi-Los,coil springs and adjustable arms. After that...12x6 Revos sound good. I'm also looking into some intake and exhaust mods,better headlights,some sound deadening, etc etc etc....

Hi, new member, just bought a mini off ebay, in the process of complete strip down. Dont know the exact look im going for or what out come will be as there are so many ideas going around my head. Take a look this is it as i bought it.

really cool minis, I really like the minivan, I just bought a mini and I am now being sucked into the cult-like obsession with fixing it.
I Think its a mini Morris. 1973. but it has a 1275 put in it. came with both original engine and wheels separate. I don't know the mileage, the odometer is stuck. (first thing i want to fix) . I don't know much about cars, Looking to fix this one and have it be a reliable fun car.



Pardon me while i go read through old conversations about little cars.

Did have a 1996 Mini Sidewalk, No Mods were made. had the whole car checked over for rust and treated! was in the process of saving up for a lot of things to be done to the car.

But due to unfortunate events involving a roundabout, a lady pulling out infront of me in ford focus and then having to swearve out the way in heavy rain, end result in me re arrange the look of a brand new vauxall corsa and my lovely mini crying in pain ! it was like a lead weight in my stomach and someone squeezing my heart when i saw my poor mini dropped of at my house, it still ran after the accident when i had to reverse it out from the corsa and up my drive.

To bring it to an end, i had all the damage checked and price, it had to be jig which cost around £300 and then £1000 for the body parts and re spray and labour. i opted just for the jig, but i was young not earning enough to pay for this, i actually felt i let the car down in a way which is sad i know but i had to sell it, i sold it to a perfessional who will look after it, it was valued £125 but the guy gave me £500 for it!

Now i own the most horrid car due to insurance costs being so high, a Suzuki Alto reg 2006. i am on the internet or looking in magazine constantly searching for minis i could buy. I was interested in one valued at £1.559 which was supercharged but ill have to wait it out.

she got a built stage 3 1293 cc engine put in with a hif-44 carb took 2 years to get it running due to all the changes i had to do etc.
got aluminium radiator the best one due to the heat in the summer.
i love this car the dtm exhaust system makes it fly through the country side. i think i will always stick to classic because you actually take care of it more than the modern cars these days which people take for granted
