Still hasn't fitted it yet. to be honest, I think he has given up before he has started, because he is getting quotes for the conversion work..

When it is fitted though, I'm gunna have no chance in the Mini :-

Why doesn't he do it himself? You can hire an engine hoist and do it over a weekend. On UKFN thats what happened with me and tone when he went ahead and bought is puma lump.

Although that was a couple of days with no sleep. He is happy though.

I'm looking at getting some more power from the engine in mine, but it makes you laugh when you see prices and stupid amounts of power. I mean who is gonna pay near on 3.5k for 130Bhp.

I must be used to higher figures :-

Might just get the outside all sorted and rust free then see where we are ;)

He might give it a shot and do it himself, aslong as he doesn't give up at the first sign of a problem.. :-

Remember, 130bhp is quite a bit in a Mini, but still not worth £3.5k!! Did I read on UKFN that you are going for a supercharger? :cool:

Yeah, That you did read.

I prefer a supercharger to a Turbo, I will have a 100bhp+ Mini but its working out the best way to go about it. I need to find someone that has a supercharged mini and go for a ride with them to see what its all about.

For now though the Exterior needs some sorting and suspension needs some tweaking.

I'll get there in the end ;)
