i got no idea mate would a slap in the face do it haha. how much ya looking for.

[Oldskoolbaby]

Well bugga you then I havent got a clue mate. Ill ask my old man. Im sure he said about £450 but dont quote me on it. Ill try and put up a photo if you want. Its bleeding pucka though. I dont really want to sell it because its that good but I have no need for it now.

[Pandora]

well im not exactly in a rush at the mo have things to sort first but nearer the time we'll see.

[Pandora]

Well as for the race hmm i think nos will have that one im affraid but who knows

[Oldskoolbaby]

Its all about how you put it to the floor really. I wouldnt be so sure if you fitted a T2. Itll be in a completly different ball park once you can get that power to the floor. Itll defenatly be a spectacle at a show wouldnt it? One Nitrous feed, twin webered 7 Port vs one turbo'd 7 Port. I reckon It would be pretty damn close. No worries about the turbo. Give me a shout when you want it and it should be still here. Thats If I havent sold it for some webers :grin:

Cant wait yes something to look forward to MUHAHAHAHAHA mind you it would be a shame for them to blow up haha that would be a bugger wouldnt it.

[Oldskoolbaby]

:grin: Shat up!! Dont tempt fate Ill be making mine bullet proof....trust me :tongue: Like I'd be stupid enough to run Nos and a 7 Port on a weak bottom end.


Set the launch control to 4500rpm, drop the clutch, wait for the torque steer, thump another gear in at a limited 7750RPM, find some grip, hit the Nos button and...............bye bye.......3rd..........4th and accross the line :cheese: I just cant wait. :grin:

[Pandora]

Yes well bullet proof i should bloody well think so mind you will have to have a couple of rolling roads first just to get it right.

[Oldskoolbaby]

Yeah I know. Im not even going to drive it until that happens. Luckily, the bloke I bought the car off of, owns his own rolling road so Ill hopefully get it done by him.

[The Matt]

oooh, that's lucky. I don't think there is a 'mini friendly' RR near me!

[Oldskoolbaby]

Yeah I know. I was going to trailer it up and take it to some where like Peter Baldwin or somebody. Luckily John who owns the RR, knows pretty much all there is to know about Mini so at least I can trust him with it.

[Pandora]

Sounds a very capable bloke, ed and i are lucky that we have a couple of RR in town near to were we live the racing company who do mini parts on my signiture and a company called expert test and tune ive been to test and tune they do all the carbs ecu's etc etc so should be good.

Just watched the new minifilm dvds i would love a Zcars convert but it would take longer than i would. Since im planning on the 40's or 45's is there anything i should watch out for when sealing them for the turbo?

[Oldskoolbaby]

I wouldnt bother using webers if your planning on fitting a turbo as the Su is a much better carb for this purpose.
