lol.

lol...and it did have throttle bodies fitted too...but the mpg was just silly..lol

end of the day mate. its your car. sure there arent many left now, and getting fewer by the year. but the car is only a production model that will suit the general public. if u want a stiffer , more bone jarring ride..........go for it, whack some coilies on. they do enhance the handling...

gets punished like that evry time i start it up mate lol. bulletproof imho

cold hard cash

i wouldnt worry bout it tbh mate. not really into the bling underbonnet stuff meself tbh, i mean who sees it wen ur driving it....these cars are for just that after all. ;) i have coilovers, cams, remapped ecu, stripped, buckets etc in mine. well in 0051. drove it to spa last year...

hehe. i love playing in the snow and ice. best way to learn how to control ur car imo. skid pans def shud be made a part of the test..... too many new drivers are hopeless, makes me wonder how they passed

best sleeper iv seen tbh is a boggo lookin mk3 scort, steels, pea shooter zorst etc etc. only giveaway was the wheels protruding ever so slightly from the arches, this was due to the cossie floorpan and running gear. was rapid. met blue, 1.3 pop badges n evrything.

lookin good mate. wots with the bolts thru the rad tho?? mine had the injectors quite a bit further forward than std hole for em in the head. redline at 8 ish i think. the dodgy webber ecu was giving dodgy readout for the rev counter, was only reading 1/2 , had it to 4.5 but it didnt...

yeah sorry for spamming..whens delivery date on these?

lol.no mate 14.0s with full car .no lightening, and mild cams/remapped ecu. the car was untouchable by most tuners efforts even when they were in a lighter trim/higher spec. as u know , it was the 1 to beat for many years.

lol..theres is that. iv built engines on the back street that the tuners have struggled to match performance of tho tbh. spec for spec. like i said..its not rocket science.

i had some old mani studs for the minis that filled the bolt holes in the gasket. so as to get it centralised proper. then jus colour in the bits to take out with perm marker, get the old drill n grindin bits out n away u go. same for the head, altho the chambers were only done to eye, and the...

lol.....too cold out there now.

lol..was gunna say the exact same thing...does it pass thru the oil??? is there any meat on it to knife edge??? reading the rest of the thread after i posted lol....guess the crank isnt cuttin thru the oil would also be worthwhile weighing the componants beforehand, some will...

but for a £100 outlay......its also not rocket science to figure out after that, youv saved urself £30 straight off the bat, and then also have the oppertunity to make £130 profit for evry other 1 u do.....;)

in what way?? iv never even seen one off the car, so what are they matched with?? are all the ports exactly the same throughout the whole tract? used to be one of the easist mods to do on me old minis. bin the std mani, whack an lcb on with seperate inlet and match the head/mani ports up...

i take it the ports are just matched to the mani gasket....if so why not save yourselves a few quid n do it yerselfs........not fukkin rocket science.

35, choice of 2 williams 1's no.s 0051 or 0159, 1 std, 1 track prepped minus cage or a vivaro.

evry time it goes into hiss garage .....it comes out with a bit more power lol. not seen him or col for fukkin ages tbh. sound lads.

hehe..not seen codys astra for time. will he ever finish building /rebuilding it??

good luck with this. anything finished that usually has bens name on it is always a fabrication isnt it??? of the truth that is. ;)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1mhgTMnHFM bit of an update. changed venues for a while, they run their own comp. here, his 2nd attempt at the intermediate track, apparently usually takes em 8-9 weeks to advance to advanced. wel see how he goes there. lol

that y then......they minted .....lol

lol. no mate no. 0051 is jus a stripped out cammed up track car with roughly 170 bhp.......was raping the vees and meg 225s down the long straights at spa tho ;) 0159 however.......diff beasty.

lol. not bashing the teg. i like em. just the ones iv come up against havent impressed me tbh. and down the 1/4 mine had de-cat n zorst only. even craggys vts was quicker, but that was standard. and yes i am intrested in the karting. i need info to get my son involved lol, bit...

lol.was just pointing out that 1 scalp doesnt mean they better. iv raped teg type r's down the strip, on track, on road. 1 magazines opinion doesnt count for everybody. we all have our own. yes the williams was included in the best drivers car of all time by evo mag, was the teg there...

btw. the cam car here was craggy in his freak of a vts. 14.5s 1/4 miles.as standard lol well reknowned as the quickest one around.. it had a dog box in here tho with slightly shorter ratios making it slightly quicker. hed been chasing the teg for quite a few laps.
