Nice mini do you have any plans for it?

main plan is to keep it mint.

then after that small things like the fitted boot kit, just to tidy it up. then its mostly gonna be interior! may get the dash and door cards flock coated. chrome bits inside etc etc.
i would like a powerfull engine but we will wait and see! if i decide to go for it i will not do it by half measures, i tend to get caught up in the moment and decide i want it to be quick, melonsin quick. was thinkin something along the lines of 2ltr red top running around 250bhp.
however i am new to mini's and what is involved in such conversions, but where there is a will there is a way.

at the mo im looking for around 80/100bhp 1275+ if anybody can help me as i fear this one is dying!

Definatly is possible, I have seen a few cars with this done.

Don't think a standard(ish) 1275 would keep up with your puma powered 1.7 Fiesta though..

Welcome to the forums aqua_mini!

Nice Mayfair you have there. You'll notice that the cool guys drive Mayfairs .

As for 100bhp on a 1275. Probably a bit tricky, although with a bit of reboring magic, you'll get 1380cc and 100bhp easy as pie.
