sticking with the best lump then ;) and im sure youl manage to break something....would be boring if there was nowt to fix lol

if it aint broke dont fix it mate ;)

its tucked away in the garage mate. where it has been steadily getting spruced up a bit for the last 2 years ;) engine out as soon as i get my hoist back. new box/clutch ready to go in. its been a while since it saw a road tbh. far too long. hoping to have it out this year if the weather...

lol....no mate. mines back to showroom now ;)... the other....well.....its a little sorry for itself. the trophy isnt a patch on either of them tho imho ;)

as above. the std ecu is more than capable, if you get it mapped properly itl be a flier. the expense of a stand alone ecu is a bit drastic tho tbh, unless your going to mod further at a later stage, e.g bodies.

yeah, 260s and you dont really lose any btm end, but gain in mid/high rev range. thatd be my choice for a good all rounder. bit more wild profile and then you start losing at the btm but gaining more mid range/top end.

f7 all day imho. easier, loads more drivable with loads of torque available from lower down the rev range. no brainer really.

lol @ brewers knowledge of the car....or lack of... im sure he bumped no.0002 , stromba hates him with a passion, and its had a new front end...coincidence??

careful......youl have the haters, gally,revels et al pointing out the spider infested mirrors soon ;)

if you can dl the mapping yourself, yes id agree.

and spend a shedload on ecu/wiring etc? most iv seen have been running twin 40s, be it weber or delorto. for the std 8v setup a nikki carb isnt a bad upgrade from the single su, unless youv already upgraded to the bigger hs4. got quite good gains with my nikki, and had a cool little window in...

would be better on carbs surely. ease of fitment no ecu etc. unless its 1 of the later injected models. but the OPs is an 87 version so will be carbed anyway. and only a 998, classed as a 1000cc, rather than the 1297 or did they just stick to the 1275 to class it as a 1300?

Re: My Ultra Red 200. lol. im always late ;). capsicums almost pink to start with lol.

depends really. iv heard good reports of using the 2x bmw bike heads resulting in a 16v unit. not sure on cost/machining tho. cant be much dearer than going the j/k valver head or thr minisport 7 porter.

Re: My Ultra Red 200. white. the red will be pink in a few years ;)

im sure wev already had this convo....... med, minisport, jack knight, minispares, wood & picket, era, longman etc etc etc ALL sell/sold the engines as 1340s with the poss exception of era, as such thats what they are known as. a bit like reno selling the clios as 17/82s lol

t33 ejb would be a better plate then surely???

q/r steering wheel, pull the ht lead off, etc etc etc...all cheaper ;)

id still pick the mini over a 17/82 tbh. like you say they arent exactly the most reliable of things, but thats part of the ownership experience lol. i only stopped driving mine for same reasons, wasnt reliable enough to use as a full on daily.....i bought a valver instead and never looked...

dont do it..... miss my minis big time.... for a 1.2 i wouldnt bother tbh.

knowsit ;)

good going in the valver. havent come across a type r on a trackday for years tbh. this is the last time i encountered one. cam car was craggys uber quick saxo, hed been chasing the teg for a few laps ... ;) vOiKs8pAWCY&feature=plcp&context=C4846e3eVDvjVQa1PpcFOswNPSevAIdDM_9TT8v73BBhlULE3CLy0%3D

i had ktec/yozza on, sounded pretty good tbh. have now got rs192 fitted, fitting wasnt bad, even on the driveway, it isnt lined up 100% but by time id got it on somewhere near id had enough of laying on the cold flags tbh lol. 10 mins on a ramp and itl be sweet tho. sounds like a wet fart...

real men buy a Williams....... fact..... Trophy is a pretty close 2nd tho in the clio rs range imho.

sacreledge.....the f7s much better. ;) they are more practical as a daily than you think.

yes. but its also easy to notice the other differences if you know what your looking for. its like sayimg a trophy and a cup are the same except the colour. when in reality theyr poles apart.

and the door bars, sunroof, diff seats etc etc etc i could go on......... but yeah... they arent far off each other ;)

i beg to differ. the majority of williams i know of have had as much of a hard life as any valver i know of. how you can say the owners care more about them is a joke....i cared about my valvers, which im sure the majority of valver owners also do. i care about my williams, again, as im sure...
