Well I guess this has been covered a million times over but I have to ask...
So far I’ve got a stock 998 engine with a hs2 single carb and I wanted a little more power from the little clubman, so my initial thoughts where obviously to go for an mg metro engine or at least 1275 that atm here in sunny Spain are going for around 1200€ a basic 1275 and 1600€ ish for an mg metro... so after reading quiet a lot in here I’ve found a few of you even ditching your 1275 over the 998 saying is more fun and more pleasant to drive on the road... (bare in mind my mini is used as a Daly driver to cover 5 miles from home to work and back)
So I’m wondering to do a fresh rebuild on my 998 with a 12g295 head stage one kit hif 38 and a long etc.. or to get a 1275 engine and leave it as it is as I won’t be able to afford to pay for the engine plus a rebuild.
So what are you thoughts?
