Depends on your budget. I prefer Heritage and M Machine own pressed panels.

I use M-Machine. Their own in house panels are great and priced well too

Seeing mighty car mods supercharge and custom map a mini very much the same as mine kind d of makes me sad knowing I'll never be able to do that with mine...

Dad's looking for a Mini Van as his work car. He spotted one, solid but in need of work, (in other words a blank canvas) for about 1.5k GBP. And didn't buy it. "I don't have anywhere to put it." Excuses I reckon. You cross that bridge when you get to it...

There's always somewhere you can put a mini.

Exactly what I thought.

My heater gets going within a minute or so - pretty much warm soon as your moving! Am I right in thinking that I should keep the drivers air vent open as a sort of recirculation? the air flow is much better with the air vent open?
Nov 22 2015 04:54 PM -
Steve220
Not sure how it works on the air conditioned minis, however on conventional you get an outside feed from the O/S wing vent pipe which is also where the fresh air feed comes from. I only ever use mine to clear the windscreen if it's misty. Blocked off the other vents with the centre console.

1) When welding brackets in your friend's garage, do not set it on fire. 2) When you & your friend are putting it out, do not allow him to put his hand on your freshly welded bracket. Ow. He is holding an ice pack right now...

Yep, just changed the exhaust yesterday to a maniflow
Nov 20 2015 10:08 AM -
Anthony30
Also got a maniflow on my mini thirty. 1.75'' twin box side exit. A bit too quiet for me really, but good for motorways ect.
Nov 20 2015 08:45 PM -
PhilipGCaldwell
i did think about the twin box but decided on the single, she does sound very goo but not as loud as the ASBO fletcher I had on it! If I get my brake lights MOT next week

Imagine a world where parts for minis were reasonably priced... I mean for the price of a decent cylinder head you could buy a couple of perfectly useable cars!

Hehe - there may have been a slight bit of sarcasm in there Steve.. Haha! General parts for minis are very reasonable although there is of course the large number of expensive goodies that we could only dream of! *drools over supercharger kit*
Nov 20 2015 08:17 AM -
Steve220
I'm going to be honest when I say this - the supercharging kits for the mini aren't expensive. For what they are and the power gains available i believe they are well priced. A lot is in proportion of your income, if you are on bare bones I can understand why they appear expensive.

Second hand engines are expensive!
I bought a Rover VVC engine with 70k miles for £180 last year, It'd cost you far more for a worn out 1275 in need of a rebuild!
