nice bike. my mates just sold his 999 and 1098 thing...im not that big on bikes as you can probs tell....hes just bought a bmw 1000? rr thing. he reckons it beats the s**t out of his dukes...he had a swap with his mates rsv4 thing at weekend, says his mate was well pissed off he bought that...

Unfortunately the Williams doesnt command that kind of money. Fortunately for me,, the Williams isvinbthe garage whilst the trophy takers up room on the drive

As above really. Big bills if the belts etc not been done. No. 0425 was sold recently this is a show winning car that's had a fortune spent on rebuilding. 6k that. For a willy 1. With this being a lowly 3 albeit original if it is?? I'd say its around same figure. An original unpainted example...

pretty much on the money there mate. its the low down torque thats the big car killer th. ;)

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...
