What I intend on doing is keeping grotbag as standard and mundain as possible from the exterior, keeping the skinny 145/70 12's and std BL steelies and hub caps, and std grey interior which I got of Miniman5
Ah, now here's the lick, after the MOT ( emmissions ) the 998 lumps comming out and the 1330's going in, looking for well over 100 at the fly with that...
What I'm wondering is how much grunt I'm going to loose by putting an LCB on the engine and a 1.3/4" center pipe, but retaining the "pea shooter" back box...
The intention is to have a realy granny car which goes like stink and will REALY P' off the chavs at McD's :grin:

Brillant Idea, The Prime Car for a decent bit of Chav Baiting!
It's the new extreme sport for the new millenium!

Other prob's? the exhaust noise will be a give away. You could just go for a mild steel RC40, side exit, doesn't look far off standard, and paint it black to make it discreet.

and even at that the general public are stil very nieve, even with "www.16vminiclub.com" in 2 inch high letters in my front and rear windows, people still cant understand why they jsut got humped by a mini. Its like a brick wall of ignorance that most people hit that prevents them from thinking minis can be fast

its great fun!

The only give away was when you looked inside and saw a gear selector shaft going straight through the bulkhead about halfway up. Turned out the thing was R1 powered, and didn't half shift!!
Think you've got a great plan there JG, but for safetys sake with that engine at least fit some Yoko's or Falkens to it?
As for the exhaust, go with the RC40, and maybe shorten the tail pipe slightly, its going to be noisy, its a mini!!

Ripped the complete rear subby out of petal which I rebuilt last year, relised I had not finish the brake pipes :nugget: so after 1/2 hour making up the pipes I was putting the subby into grotbag, fitted better in there than it did petal ! hmmm
Brakes asjusted, blead and handbrake cable fitted and she's back on all fours, with a good dolop of shutz underneath... ( hide the rust *cough* )
Just sorting the electics now and putting the clock back in.. and seats found out it's got a dodgy indicator switch so will have look at that tomorrow...
And to top it of the oil lights just come on, hopefully that may just be a lack of oil, but if not, then it's likely not to be going to Stratford on sunday even if it does pass... lucky then engines comming out eh :cheese:

Does this make you the first member of "Team Chav-Hunt" ?
I think you could be setting a modifier's trend
