A Classic mini adventure!

[Matt_90]

Went out to get a few quick pics of my friends mini which he recently finished restoring,he has done all the work himself. Not sure on full engine specs but its running around 105bhp. The thing is a full on gokart, and the noise from the gearbox is crazy aswell.

He is hoping to get it detailed very soon, but at the minute all wants to do is drive it. So apoligies for it being abit dirty, if it bothers you that much! :approve:

He is buying another to do a vtec conversion on

Superb.I had an old cooper s back in the day.Would have loved that kind of power in one...

 

[Matt_90]

Yea i couldn't imagine how quick they must be .... 105bhp in this ones feels mad nevermind 180ish lol

Please can you get hold of the engine specs, I'd love to know what exactly has been done to it

Ive got a mate that does mini conversions, but I really like this one. Looks like the Mr Bean mini Im sure itll be really great when everything has been finely tuned!

 

[Matt_90]

I will get the full engine specs tonight when I see him. He is struggling with a little misfire atm which he is looking at today, he is hopefully going to get it on some rollers in the next few weeks and make some final tweaks.

Looks awesome! I'd love one.

A mate of mine's project was done in exactly the same colour scheme, running a vauxhall 'redtop' engine, ITB's ect...quick!

:approve:

 

[Matt_90]

^^ Thats looks sick! I do love the colour. I think its perfect for a mini imo! That or british racing green.

What power is the above running?

 

[Hixle]

I believe it was around 210BHP ATF mate, this was a good few years back now, mind. Was a fantastic car!

[hughesclio]

If he sorts out the misfire I think he is planning to

You won't when you get on the loud pedal! :-D

Lovely example of a mini in the OP by the way....
