If your interested....

bored so thought id put some up

started off like this... 2 years ago




Needed some welding in a few places, So just had new inner and outta sills both sides,New A-Panel, New rear Valence

shells pretty solid now , Just needs a few 'minor' bits to be sorted, then off for a re-spray in a few weeks and will be done by me (my job btw )

Had these brakes on the front... , May only be a 998cc mini but these are fucking shit!



So I bought these...



And fitted...



Needed Allys to clear the new calipers, So as the Steels wasnt up to this I bought these

10x5 Minilites...



Wrapped in... Yoko's



and this is how it sits now!



the brown shit you can see on the sills on the front is a wax, Not dirt Not that its clean anyway LOL




Future Mods are..

- Cage
- Arches ( in the next week!)
- Fibreglass front end
- More suspension
- Re-spray (Inside and out!)
- Seats

and in the new year hopefully an engine change

Cheers for looking!

 

engine change got to be a xe

 

Radders leave the outside like that for a while and get the engine in ,go for the "rat look"

 

pretty cool

 

made me smile anyway

 

class i love it

need it painted green and a bolt lock on the door lol


OR pmsl paint it black and A TEAM it lol

 

clubmans are where its at

 

getting better.

 

xe's are wank - far too heavy.

 

Too heavy for what? Weight distribution?

Guess you have never been in a well set up mini with one fitted then?

Makes surprisingly little difference to how they handle.

Which is weird, theory dictates it should be much worse, in reality though they arent

 

Rad i swer in pic 7 you have bumped the car in front!!!

Robbie d- lovin teh idea of mr bean

 

turbo_boost, Thats my dads work car... I have to get close ( probably a nats cock in it LOL) as my drive way holds two more mini's!

If I park any further back, they wont be able to get in-out

My mate (well hes 50 odd) has got a white one of these with this kit on and a grasstrack racing engine with kinky gearbox, its a fookin animal round the streets and it dont half shift!!

 

Lol kool why so many minis they all yours or families??

 

My Mum and Dad both own Mini's too



Both coopers, a T plate and an N plate


Mines just a shoddy 998cc 1978 mini lol, But not for long

 

love minis. My mates got one thats been in primer for the last year, while he works out wot colour he wants!

 

Mines going to be like that for a while


Been under sealing this morning

 

 

Kool runs in the famiily lol

 

Cheers for all the replies

 

classic!

 

cool brakes
what is it about the xe's that make them so popular in the mini world?
my mates just bought an xe lump for his mini.

 

Looking good Rad

 

Cheers Lou Lou


Dunno tbh?!? Chip or Alex may know?!?!


The brakes are top! I wanna try to Endo it...

 

still cheap and easy to get hold of
lots of tunning potential
allspeed and watsons ? make the conversion kit and you can DIT it
been done lots before

when comparing it to the b16 vtec you can get the gearing spot on i belive with th vaux F16 box and 13" wheels

i belive the issue with the v tec is you have to run 14" min to get the gearing right

im sure chip will correct any errors

 

Oh btw top project whats the plans for the engine

 

Possibly a 1.6 - 1.8vvc K-Series


Not to sure yet

 

Thats cool as mate.
