Thats very nice chap....we're getting rid of our run around Puma 1.7 and hopefully picking up a cooper S, same year and colour as yours. How much you dropped it by as it looks low?? Done anything engine wise? What its been like reliabilty wise???

Thanks guys for your comments 
Spec wise it has the West Tuning 255bhp conversion, cars having its final mapping this week.
Big valve head, large throttle body, later spec supercharger, sport exhaust & manifold, cam etc. Its great fun, the fuel economy's much worse than my Cosworth was
Oh and the cars been lowered my 20mm

Car looks great in those pics Graham
Will look forward to a bit of run in it when it's back
Was quick in it's last spec - what power was it running back when you took me to the Somerset RSOC meet?
Either way, bet it goes well when it's back

and as Graham says they are fantastic in the dry and only average in the wet You got new wheels, new brakes, and new spec engine since i last saw it and you took me out for a "spin" in it
Looks alot like the GP but without the silly red mirrors

the only things i dont like about the GP is the red wing mirrors and the silver front fog light surround. WTF were they thinking when they added those bits on and said "yeah they look great, we'll keep them"
