Would anyone be interested in modified cylinder heads? I am thinking about starting to do them as a side line, still got to figure out a few prices and other details, but would like to know if there is any interest out there?

If I do them they will probly be on an exchange basis and depending whether I can get a few good spare heads, then there may be a short wait while I do my thing to it.

To be honest I'm thinking of tryng my hand at doing my own for my next car, but if I wasn't I would definitely look at getting one from you (and if things go wrong I still might!!!). I've heard people have had some really good results from heads you've done.

id defo want one, so long as you cheaper than the likes of avonbar.
what would i b looking to pay for say a stage 2 turbo head, suited to a 1330 with low comp pistons running an intercooler with avonbar phase 2 cam.
please mail me, as a head is my nxt mod once im all up and running.

Well thats what I've got to work out, the cost of actually producing them. I want to be able to sell them for less than you'd have to pay from some of the main mini places. I'm going to see my engineer tomorrow about pricing for fitting unleaded seats and new guides which I remember was in the region of £80 last time I had it done, So I hope to be able to sell them for around £250 hopefuly as it take a good 15 - 20 hours to produce.
I've also got to get hold of a new compessor too.

that sounds very good, i think youd be onto a good thing!
il be happy to trial your handy work and hopefully sing your praises on tmf!

anything you can do to help me kick a 106 gti's back side (very fast car) would be fantastic!

The last one I did, I ended up in the local eye hospital to have a bit of metal taken out of my cornea! But I have learnt my lesson now and got a decent mask and eye protection.

Mark, unfortunatly I stopped the site when I sold Blue, but if I think of anything then I will give you a shout
