You can always barter. Be tough, firm with what you think is right for pricing and don't say 'Erm'!!! :P

What spec you going for??
I can come give you a hand now bud:D

We agreed that the 'Stage 3' kits are generally a rip off, and not what Ian needs.
First a major service, something that Kibbles has really been needing. We agreed that really, the engine doesn't need to be pulled out and it doesn't need a new cam. But a well worked new head from Mini Spares, a Maniflow LCB and a Maniflow 1.75" exhaust of somesort. A bigger throttle body is a possibility but not entirely needed.
But first, 4 new cones, hi-los and 4...
Mar 09 2013 10:11 PM -
iMurray
yup first is service and a set of cones, then in sbout 2months it'll be a hilo, a few months after that it'll be all the "stage one'" stuff, which i'll probably tie into another service whilst im there... then over time it'll be a nice new speccy head, the zorst will come from my "stage one" stuff, i was thinking uprated rockers too, uprated throttle body, fuel pressure booster valve thingy, and we decided i could probbly keep the cooper am as it'll be...

Engine service next week! should i just go standard service... or should i pull it all to bits whilst i still have the other car insured?
Mar 09 2013 10:30 AM

iMurray
but its been so abused im worried! :P full service and a big bay clean up? then start saving for the stage 3 and get it all done then
Mar 09 2013 12:04 PM -
Artful Dodger
Yeah may be a good idea then..:P. I'd not pull anything out to clean the bay up, you goin to be doin that when you put the head on it:). New filters, oil, belts if need be, maybe haul the water pump off to give it a check over?
Mar 09 2013 12:49 PM -
Noah
Oil, Coolant, New Fan Belt, check the water pump, plugs, Fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, check the valve clearances, new thermostat.
