A bit marmite, but so is the Whine. So it works quite well. LOL

 

[Waitey]

Whineking = Wanking

right?

 

[mas]

I hadnt thought of that, possibly a slogan for a new design.

Thanks Waitey, your're Great.

 

[Waitey]

I thought that was the joke in it?

If not sorry i have an odd mind!

 

[_Tom]

Not a fan of the wheels..

 

[EllD90]

Wheels and roof need to go black.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Why didnt you put those BBS wheels you had on it. Super T's are very 1995 imho.

 

[mas]

Nooo, body coloured roof's in Dark Silver were rare, I dont want to go painting it!!

 

[mas]

These ones came up at a good price Dave...

Its odd, some people say the wheels suit the car perfectly, and others disagree. A bit marmite it seems!

 

[EllD90]

Do your mirrors in grey then. They look out of place.

 

[Christopher]

I like it a lot!!

Can't help but agree with Dave though... I'd change the wheels to something a bit more modern. ST's remind me of Corsa B's.

 

[The_Pirate]

Black 1.2's look really nice on the minis i think.

I dont mind that!

 

[_Tom]

My mate with a black S has works gp's on his and it looks spot on..

Edit: What BBS did you drop for these?!!

 

[mas]

Not splitties mate,

BBS RZ's

 

[Sir_Dave]

Not splitties mate,

BBS RZ's

I think you failed hard getting rid tbh :dapprove:

 

[mas]

Ryans old car, looked insane. The BBS's suited Astro Black.

Not so good on Dark Silver IMO.

 

[mikey123]

I really like the OZ's! The whole car is smart aswell.
Need to get a vid up of the exhaust??

 

[The_Pirate]

I like that Mini alot, what wheels are those?

 

[Benj88]

Nice work mate, Best colour for the cooper IMO!!

 

[conneh]

Awesome!

They are Super Turismos Dan.

 

[mas]

On the Black one, they are BBS RZ's.

Thats what I had before the OZ's

 

[mas]

WHP graph Ive just found

That was pre intercooler, airbox and cat back

 

[mas]

Couple of pics with the wheels ive just bought. Im gong to be getting them refurbished, but not sure what colour to go for!

They are Rota Slipstreams 17x7.5J - They were a bargain too!

[Chris205]

I fancied the slipstreams for mine when I had it, anthracite or black would be it for me mate

 

[fUbAr]

Satin black would look great.

 

[Gaz85]

Didn't like the super ts but those are lovely!!

 

[mas]

Yeah, I think im going to go for Satin Black.

Wasn't sure whether to get something a bit different through winter though? Like Red, or Bronze?

 

[JamieG]

Fantastic looking car, love the wheels

Fancy some JCW injectors for this, i have some new ones for sale

 

[mas]

Thats the next step for the car if I decide to keep it. Need a Newman Cam, Injectors and a Map.

Should be at around 205-10WHP then.

Sisters bro Richard had that done a couple of weeks ago, think its running about 205bhp ATW/235 ATF. He's richcoops on minitorque i think

Thought you were selling it anyway lol

 

[mas]

Yeah, I was planning on getting rid... but everytime I take it out for a blast.... I want to keep it again.

Plus *touch wood* nothing has broken on it recently, other than a flat tyre.

Did he say how much it cost him in the end? Really good gains for the money iirc!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Not sure on cost tbh, might be worth a pm, unless its in his project thread somewhere?

I know what you mean about keeping cars cos their so much fun, Trophy gets used once a month now lol!! Just cant bring myself to get rid of it though ...

 

[Christopher]

Fake wheels!

Looks great mate!

 

[_Tom]

Satin black would look laaaavely.

 

[mas]

Fakes?! The real deal these bad boys!

 

[danzel]

not a huge fan of minis usually but thats nice, that

 

[Gaz.]

Fakes?! The real deal these bad boys!

No they're not. Those in my avatar are

 

[_Tom]

189whp? Whats been done chap? Me Borat is only 198 atw.

He means Rota's are fake...

 

[mas]

I dont understand, Rotas are fake? My Rotas are fake? :S LOL

Its had a reduced pulley, I/C, modified airbox, S/S exhaust buddy

 

[Gaz.]

Once upon a time there was a company called Desmond making Regamaster alloys. They stopped making them. Rota then copied the design and voila, the Slipstreams.
