That would be amazing, is that the hose from turbo to airbox?
I don’t have any parts mate sadly x HTH

I've got spare turbos, alternators, aircon pumps and starter motors if required
Genuinely 😂 stashed a s**t load of parts in the loft to keep for years to come for when they get super hard to get hold of.

Sorry bud, just got in from work and went to the last post…..
Evening run. Lots of grip with good power delivery.
If anything the seats aren’t supportive enough, that’s why the R seats are sooo good. Might consider some form of bucket seat for driver.

Need to chunk up a bit to get the seats to fit better!
What is the delivery like. My Mapped (Just Stage 1) R26 was all torque low down and ran out up top. My 275 std nice & linear.

Yep bit of thickness on the back keeps you in the recaro's
Regarding power delivery most of the tuners back in the day ramped the boost and torque in low down in the rpm to make the 225/26 feel fast, but sod all power 5k+ rpm.
My current r26 was the same on its old Rstuning map, loads of drama low down in the rpm and flat up top with jot a lot over 5k rpm. Now ive had it mapped by Efi its totally different and very linear - with actuator adjustment hangs onto decent boost pressure at higher rpm's so does not feel too bad up to 6k rpm, not a lot above that as expected on stock turbo. Id say its comparable to stock mk3 meg rs with a bit more torque, much better than the old style of mapping was.
I’m not small that’s the thing 😂
Power delivery is very liner with a good spread of torque.

As you say good bit extra above 5k. Looks good.

Spent a bit of time now using the car as intended. Tbh it’s refreshing to drive something that’s more analog which is what I was after with the Mini.
Modern cars have become numb to me and don’t do a lot, this is simple, quick enough, and engaging without breaking the bank.
Such a shame that this simple formula is now lost.
Maybe classed as a middle aged boy racer owning this, the R35 and Mini but it’s not something I’m particular bothered about when they are all owned outright.
IF I still own this in 12 months time I may invest in a set of Nitron one way coilovers. They transformed my Evo’s back back in the day so will hopefully inspire even more confidence into the cars ability with a set fitted.

These sorts of cars have certainly had their day and no EV hot hatch will ever feel the same, I'll be keeping my Clio until I just can't get parts to keep it running in think.
You've been very fortunate to be able to afford the cars you've had over the last few years but kudos for keeping your feet on the ground and buying the cars that you enjoy instead of going from one flashy motor to the next.

Looks sweet under false light.
I received a £600 deposit from a guy wanting to buy car and collect at weekend.
He’s said he can’t travel the 5hrs journey so wants refund.
I’m a honest guy so I’ll probably refund minus resisting fees
@Touring_Rob @Daniel
What would you guys do?

I'm sure they both would give the refund
But it does go against the whole point of leaving a deposit...you then turn away potentially other buyers only for it to backfire.
Not to mention why has this guy left a deposit and then only realised where the car is.
f**k knows, very odd thing to do. My question was more tongue in cheek due to amount of time I have wasted viewing s**t cars.
I lost a deposit not long ago even though car was nothing like as described.
This guy hasn’t even viewed the car 😂

I listed it yesterday on eBay and pistonheads. Removed and now relisted again 😂
I doubt the travel is the reason behind it. He’ll surely have seen where you’re located on the listing.
Maybe give him back £500 and explain to him that lots of people would have just taken the money and used the excuse that they could have potentially lost a buyer. It’d hopefully teach him to be less careless but not wreck him. I don’t know, that may be too harsh. Maybe give him a ring and ask him a few questions.

Tell him to come and collect it.
Refunded £550.
Listing fees I’ll keep.
I always refund, was more curious on what others do. I think if he had viewed the car, paid a deposit etc then I would be more inclined to keep.

I never sell anything because I'm a moron however would have done the same as you - refund minus whatever its cost you to list feels fair 👌
Received a message and a phone call from this guy today.
Paid a even larger deposit this time and I’m meeting him halfway next weekend.
Guess it pays to be nice.
