Thanks

What spec are yours?

im thinking of the same type, acrylic or metal?

cheers

They are metal, but really depends where you want them, like on your bonnet, smooth boot, etc, the choices are endless lol.

Don't think I'll get much done tonight, feel really cr*p, didn't get to sleep until about 2am, and was up for work at 6 am , so might do a little work on my dashboard, then might get started on refurbing one of my alloys tomorrow.

[1987_ParkLane]

Had a quick bash at the dashboard, but didn't get far as I didn't have any tools in my room, and couldn't be bothered to get any :



Managed to get the CD played in properly, it rattled a bit, so thats a bit sturdier now.

Also got the dials off:



The little clear screend things need to be glued on as they rattled like hell, and could be heard of the exhaust noise , but they should be fine soon.

Going to put some 4" speakers where the air vents are soon, so keeps looking out for them .

The plates really suit the car and look loads better in the right place rather than cable tied to the grill lol.

The wheels will be good once done, and will keep you busy for a while.

Hey, it was either that or buy a new number plate , yes they should look good, but I'm just waiting for you to get some new ones, so I can have yours (At a small price though )

Well who knows, with mine coming off the road to be done, I may put a bit of money into it to get it looking exactly how I want it, so a new set of wheels may be on the cards

Haha you know it makes sense, I just want some wide wheels, but hopefully my money this month will go on the supercharger, but something tells me its not going to be easy lol .

Yer man , general outline of the engine spec is on the 1st page, 1st post. Going to add a few more things to it later . But the engine rebuild will take place later this year after all this stuff is done lol .

But 1275 SPRITE bullied me into getting one lol.

hahah sweet dude.
Im trying to decide whether to spend money on upgrading the 1275 such as new pistons, stg3 head etc etc or go down the superchager route

Well why don't you look a what kind of people are getting HP wise with either of your ideas then choose, but I would combine the two lol .

[ianpettifer]

lmao

I couldnt aford that

Hmm yeh i will but theres doesnt seem to be a great post on it tho

cheers

[1987_ParkLane]

Well not really done an update recently, got a lot of college work to do , but hopefully will be done soon, so can get back out on the mini , anway, got two packages yesterday:



A new rear shelf fabric mat, and some silicone hose for the heater hoses. So when installed they should both look cool .

But I really like the rear shelf fabric mat, because it had this blue piping around the edge, and as I'm aiming for a black a blue, with a hint of white, colour scheme, they should both fit in well .

[1987_ParkLane]

Well I would personally go supercharger route, but the choice is yours, and other people would choose different too. Its hard because there are so many different options to go for lol.

Maybe if we combine my engine idea, with your sexy mini , then that would be one awesome car lol .

[ianpettifer]

lmao maybe. il look into it

Im gettin a bit of money soon so i want to decide what to do ;

i.e wht engine mods can get me 90bhp
