hello, welcome to the site.

nice car

[mini7racer]

hehe cheers, hes off the road at the mo though, ive killed the old engine in only 3500 miles, so im getting a new engne today and that will be going in next weekend, and he also needs some new dampers, as the old ones arnet stiff enough for me, so im selling my cobra drivers seat to fund them (check out the for sale bit for info) he should be a quite quick mini when hes back on the road, i cant wait!

it was a 998 that was put in by the last owner to convert him from a monga-matic. but he didnt do any servicing or anything really in the few years he had him. but my new engine is a 30000 mile 998 which the stage 2 head came off, all for £50 and i got the head a few weeks ago and only paied £50 for that as well, so its basically a stage 2 engine for £100, hehe

ideal!! that should certainly up ur horses passed 30bhp! :grin:

[mini7racer]

looking for at least 50, which should prove interesting!

[Brawlyrox]

:grin: that would certainly be nice form the trusty old 998 *cough*trusty*cough*

LOL

Matt who runs www.minifinity.com has a 998 called beaker, which has a 1275 stage 3 head and a few other little goodies and his pushed out 63 brake at the shoot out last weekend as spamspeeds. so thats what im chasing!

[Dom]

neat. does his inurance go up or do they think its a 998?

[mini7racer]

as far as i know its insured at a modded 998, as thats what it is. he hasnt changed the bore or anything to increase the CC's

[Brawlyrox]

63 im guessing thats at the wheels is damn good! :grin: go get him...

[The_Mini_Bug]

monga-matic.

Hi and welcome to the site nice mini

[mini7racer]
