Yeah. I could do the odd track day at Forrestburn hillclimb or kames but it will be a road car. Going to keep it original and unmodified. Keeps the cost down and stops me going mental with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bought this last week. It was local. A bit over priced but managed to get home down a fair bit to do a deal. Never liked new minis really. But the supercharged R53 is the only one I’ve contemplated owning over the years. I’ve always found minis way overpriced but these are cheap now. It’s...

First mods complete last night. Before and after pick. Makes a huge difference to how the van looks. Could prob go a bit lower but I’m going to get from front shock relocation plates (Shane’s scarface lowrider plates) and shorten the ARB links before going any lower at the front. The rear...

Cooksports and cup shocks are a good road set up. Also bilstien b14s get a good review for road. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I saw this in Facebook marketplace. Good purchase. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good work. I love the process of welding and repairing panels. Satisfying work when it’s done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good work. What did you use to protect the holes you drilled from rusting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think that part is the “acoustic valve”. Also on 172/182s and just makes the induction noice louder at low RPM as far as I remember. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PS4’s or kumos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m really surprised with how good they are on fuel. Had mine 18 months. Through the summer driving it fast now and then I’m getting 28mpg. You’ve got to remember it’s a 3ltr engine. I used to get 25mpg out of a 2ltr Passat estate back in the day and it was boring as hell. For the last month...

Need to fit my EPAS soon before testing starts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Car local to me. Never seen it before but it does look decent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m scene as well. Hence I’ve moved from making my T4 nice to slamming it. Sticking some banded steels on and leaving the bodywork rough as toast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really a fan of yellow headlamps but I think it does need something to break up what is quite a plain colour scheme. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wolseley Hornet. Looks in very nice condition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In that case I could interest you in some of my armature spray painting. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is an RB bumper on eBay now for £55. I would just buy that instead of painting what you have.

Looks really nice Hoping to get my van lowered and on its banded steels this weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might look better with a smaller wheel. What are they 16’s? Lower with a smaller wheel would ride ok as well. With the old minis I’ve owned the smaller wheels with a bigger tyre wall have always had the best ride. Sure it applies to all cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s never been changed it will be a jc5 130. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Considering the weight and size I think it’s not bad. Does that include insurance. Another company I use for smaller car parts is “parcel2go”. You could always put the details in there and see if any of the couriers on that service will do up to the weight of a gearbox. Sent from my iPhone...

Paisley freight. Used them loads for engines and gearboxes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gives me the fear watching people race them. Every ones I’ve seen has a roll cage so lo that the drivers helmets sits above it. But you see what I mean here. Standard mx5s doing 96s laps at kames. Fast as a a very well sorted clio 172 (ITBs, diff, lightweight panels etc) and a civic type R...

Mx5’s are extremely competitive in hillclimbs and sprints that I enter. I wouldn’t under estimate them. Up here the Scottish hillclimb championship has a dedicated class for them because they are so popular. It’s a proper drivers car and the class is set up such that no modifications are...

What do you get again? Different driving styles etc but I get a stead 28mpg. Mix of driving on road. Nothing on track. Standard m140i with the auto box and m performance exhaust (which I’m thinking of selling). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe the passenger side driveshaft boot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be fair most of the cars on that list would decimate a trophy over a B road. 172 cup excluded. But the 1*2s would both be great fun while doing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does it have to have a hatch? The Mini Cooper started it all really. Small family car winning races and rallies at the weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a hot hatch. Just feels different from a clio / fiesta obviously. Like I said earlier. There are probably two categories of hot hatch these days. There probably always was to be fair. Split them in size / power. Or on price. Gets you into a much more logical list of what’s good in each...
