saw this on the mini forum...

internals are surprisingly good, the metro turbo engines came with uprated pistons etc. 16psi will be ok with the uprated gearbox and diff which i already have.

£600 @ 21 sounds good price, who was that with?

i'm going to put my current gearbox (straight cut box) and diff on the new engine, both should be able to handle the extra power. plumbing looks worse than it is because of the uprated intercooler most people go for.

rust is not bad at all! it was de-rusted and resprayed about 6 or 7 years ago. i'm going to respray it the same ford imperial blue all over and get the arches smoothed in as well.

yeah you can either go for the full track look or keep it old school! I hate the steering wheel at the moment, want to change it for a black one.

i know what you mean from that selection of pics, but when you see the whole car it fits nicely with the theme.

nope i dont like it.

Ok i've had my mini a while now and have decided that it is time to upgrade the engine. At the moment it has an 'A-series' 1275cc engine with a crazy race cam, it produces about 60bhp! :evil: I will be picking up a metro turbo engine next week and hope to be running about 160bhp @ 16psi...

lol ive still got my originals on my 182 thats 26k miles.

saw a couple at the ring at the weekend and they sound amazing!!

pictures to follow tomorrow....i was there in an old sh*t skoda (dont ask) racing blue 182 (S* ** ***) inferno 182 orange valver / hybrid

run it in hard, will be a quicker engine in the long run. make sure you let it warm up fully before any hard reving

you will lose the 4 months, and just have the one

they should give you back the remaining 6 months, but from that six months they will take off the deposit ammount and about a £50 admin charge. for example 6 months - £500 minus deposit £150 admin fee £50 you get back £300

it would cost alot you would need to fabricate alot of parts yourself megane engine would be expensive doubt it has been done before as the cost would be rather high

i think the fiesta will complement the colour of your eyes!

bell, i paid 1400 @ 19 with 2yrs NCB

Re: My day at the Prodrive test track carrera gt p**n!

Managed to get hold of some hospitality tickets for free so the veiw was great and uncrowded.

so much blood sweat and tears has gone into that and oh yeah and money! top quality workmanship, it's all got a great finish to it!

the smell of some of the cars in the pits when they started up was awsome reminded me of my 2-stroke karting days!

how did you apply it/ work it into the paint? just by hand?
