The attitute towards other members is a bit uncalled for, and as said the swear filter is there for a reason. I am a diehard mk1 owner, but i
and fpasm, we're here offering you advice, even a mod has tried to help, i'd be thrilled if a mod would offer me some advice like that, after all, this is the reason for TMF :)


The only acceptable mods imo are : audio, the ease the engine breathes, electrical..

and thats about it...


I'm sorry Mein Fuhrer.

different cultures, different opinions, different ideas - it's what makes the mini so popular worldwide.

EDIT: Think this post has lost all usefullness... think we should just let it die off now

Surly carbs (ie the twin carbs you want) come under engine breathing?

I see where you are coming from, you like your car to be original, but what some other people have said (and personally i do tend to agree) is that things like carbs, you can bolt on and off, and no one never needs to know you ever had twin carbs on there if you decide to change back. I think the thing is, you like your car as it is original, and the problem will be that YOU will know that there are twin carbs under the bonnet even if know one else does.

If you need to find a way to justify yourself-
Im sure when your car was first built, things like twin carbs, performance exhausts and the like were quite common place, so instead of keeping the mini 100% original, keep it 100% period modifications?

Like said, if you ever want to go back, jsut un bolt the carbs, and put your single one back on... sorted :P

sorry but..
if u want to keep a car original, keep it original, if want to go mod, go using period modifications, but cant see why u have to insult a modded car when in another post you say something like 'i want a mini shell to fit a motorbike engine'. Jealousy?
