    What are you looking at? Something fancy from KAD perhaps? ;)

    Just a good modified 12g202 with unleaded inserts will be more than enough.

    Nicely ported and gas flowed, it will make a good difference.

    As soon as I read a post about minisport the first thing that popped into my head was 'it won't be in stock'. Clicked on the view all comments button and low and behold. Someone beat me to it.

Boarding and insulating the loft has to be one of the worst DIY jobs ever. Or as I now refer to it, itchy hell

    Totally agree. I ended up wearing a boiler suit and rubber gloves. Strong look.

My friend has announced she is getting rid of her two lovely ragdoll cats because she would prefer a dog...is it me, or is that pretty heartless and shallow?

    I do agree with that but if her and husband are dog people, they may well make better dog owners. Perhaps the cats were a mistake for them?
    I just don't like to see animals potentially be mistreated by people who don't want them around

    I agree Ben, Im a dog person meself...

    If she can find a good home for the cats to rehome them with someone who would take care of them, as they should be cared for, then I think - as you do - that they could go to someone who would want them....

    Update: - She decided to keep the cats and get a dog also. But one of the cats has now ran away (they are indoor cats)....she's heartbroken. Part of me feels a little bit of karma.

    I can't remember the sign up forms but surely there must be something at the top stating it's for classic mini....

Copper head gasket or black composite head gasket better for a 1275?
Feb 20 2017 09:32 PM

    The composite one I had started leaking coolant before I had even started the engine, copper one I fitted after worked fine. I'd go copper! Just make sure the mating faces are perfect

    Built a few engines with the 450 gasket. No issues. Preparation is the key to a good gasket change.

    Do not use BGA head gaskets and if you use Payen purchase the Head Gasket separate as the ones that come in the Head Gasket sets are not of the same quality. That is our findings. The BK450 is a great gasket :)
