You need to run the pipes that go to the heater matrix through the inlet manifold, they are the only ones that are the right size and hold water, bit of fancy pipe routing on your car me thinks.

Okay i think i can see that, but..

I've since been told for the amount of time and work it takes there's not really point of doing it..

So unless a miracle happens, then maybe.. lol

Sounds no different what so ever..

And as you can see..

The sun was setting when i took these pictures so you can imagine how much longer it took me..

Fitted my wipacs today, not as straight forward and as nice of fit as what i thought they would be but i got them on!!







Weather isnt the nicest of things, you wash the car one day and its dirty the next..

I was also a bit confused about this. When I was looking at the topic on here 'have we got the complete set yet' in 1993 where it says model its got Sprite Carb. Then when you go in to 1994 it just says Sprite. So does this means all sprite's made in 1993 have carbs and anyone made after that would have been an SPI. I could be wrong that as far as I can tell thats what it look like.

Heres the topic if you want to have a look for yourself.

EDIT: It also says (Austin68) and (Minidude03) own 1993 sprites maybe send them a PM and see if they know anything.

Just for info, my mini (as seen in my avatar) is/was a '94 'M' Sprite carb. I bought it specifically because it was the latest mini I could find that wasn't injectionised! It also has the relays on the bulkhead, one for starter, and one for electric fan. It also has the pin switch bracket in the boot. It's identical in every way to an injection, apart from the engine and ancilleries. Hope that helps clear thing up a bit.

That car in the back ground is pretty cool and from what I'v heard totally rust free as well.

Yes, jon perfect, i may have something soon that may interest you..

But back on track..

Car's gone to paint for this week now, to have the damage that a pot hole caused..

Roofless sorted me out good..

[leaky]

Yeaaaa. I always thought an ace of spades would look cool on that car. You kept that one quiet.

[rusty789]

I was gonna keep it even quieter and just do it..

But i dont have the car atm and i've gotta make progress of some sort..

[leaky]

When do you get the car back from the paint shop then? Will it be ready for No Rice?

[rusty789]

Was supposed to be getting it back this evening but i got it back last night..

[rusty789]

Got some stuff back from the powder coaters today.. £20 is a bargain i think!!
