Hi there people how are all you crazy mini lovers? good i hope.

my names calvin and im from the southern area around brighton. i actually drive a skoda (please refrain from laughing) at the mo, but i have a metro turbo powered mini on the drive that is in the process of being rebuilt, im hopefully gonna have the main bulk part done by the summer, the paint and bodywork can be done at a later date.

so far i have: 200zx intercooler, green airfilter, ap paddle clutch, braided hose, hi los all round, uprated shocks all round, playmini exhaust, adj tie rods and camber all round, miglia arshes, 6 point role cage, spaceframe dash, various dials, deseamed, debumpered, -31 actuator, 4-pots. i think thats bout it still more to come.

need the turbo refurbed/exchanged, hpoefully should be gettin a cam v soon.

also considering 8x13 alleycats.

cheers mini men and women

calvin.

Hello calvint3 nowt wrong with a skoda mate,regarding the mini if you are only going for a mild cam try 1.5 ratio rockers,Mr Vizard recons they work well and save you a lot of work if the motor aint stripped.Remember Mini owners are easy to spot,they walk with a stoop ,have grazed knuckles and a dent in the back of their head where the Bl**dy bonnet catch fits!!

Stingray,

I think you can find "Skoda's" in Specialty Cigar Stores. Do you have these in Oklahoma?
