thanks for the youtube vid. I'm in love. I want one of those superchargers Any word of when they are going to be available and how much they will cost??

Still got a few bits to sort out with the Charger kits. I want to be able to sell them so they are dead easy to fit even by a complete novice! once we have the new inlets back things should get rolling really quickly. The one on my car was a prototype and the bulkhead had to be modified the next one will hopefully fit a totally standard car with ease. I will be trying to keep it well under £2k but what you get will be awesome. All other kits on the market at present use some of the existing parts like the carb and other bits, this is where our kit will differ because we include a 2" brand new carb thats specialy modified for our kits. If our calc's are right you should quite easily double the BHP and Tourque on a std 1275cc!!

That will be awesome, you will have to keep us updated as to when it is due out, will get saving now me thinks. Good work to, its coming along nicely now. Looks great.

I cannot think of a better way of spending half a hour reading through your resto/rebuild....


well done!....

brilliant project, cant believe i havnt seen this one before, maybe im just halucinating from not being able to feed myself at uni. Anymore news on the build? addicted now. I like the comment on youtube from someone "my 850 used to sound like that". ha! yer, sure it did mate. I like putting videos of my 1430 on youtube just to see what people write!

good luck with the rest of it, although the hard works long gone.

Can't believe I've missed this project for a couple of months! Just read through the pages I've missed, looking great, really makes me want to crack on with my own project....and also get a supercharger!

Been putting the trim in this weekend and a few other bit and bats...charger is running lovely and have it booked for a R/R for a final tweak. Got a new pulley coming to up the boost a little as I have still some c/r to play with. The Moss SC kit is going to be awesome when the final product is launched. As the Moss SC kit has been developed for a classic mini from scratch all the problem areas have been covered, so no extra gaskets required! There is a valve fitted on the Moss kit which is designed to open in the event of to much boost instead of blowing a gasket or a decom plate. Although the other kits on the market at present are very good they are using a unit adapted from another car and not one specifically designed for the purpose and with all modification there is always going to be an element of risk.

Congrats. Seriously fine work here, with 100% attention to detail (as far as I can see). The headlining, for example.

by the way the Moss catalogue diagrams are v useful even if I can't afford the bits!
