yeah well spotted there some old posters from mini world.

mini93 just think, if it was all built well whats going to happen in 500 miles that wouldnt in the first 20 minutes. its fair enough if you have the patients to wait that long. i think i would have to go on a road trip the day it was built!

[mini93]

ha! patience

i didnt build the engine myself so i think running in would be best, the person who built does a far bit of engine building buy ya never know...also i think my clutch release bearing is going

[andywaller]

if you think it going whip it out and change it? its not too harder job. you dont even need an engine crane!

[mini93]

Yea sorry, its a joke we have. We go to college together, and there are some dodgy people on the lathes and milling machines. And yea, cut a long strory short, thats what we say when someone scetchy snaps something.....

[mini93]

aaah right, we had many a joke like that in college...usualy based at the rather slow chavs, drilling stuff the wrong way, or an old time fav' leaving the chuck keys in stuff!

yea, there was this girl who managed to get a whole machine to jump off the floor toward andy, and all he said was 'oi, mind that'...hence the saying lols

[mini93]

bloomin heck, getting a heavy machine to jump up :S

i was driving a car on the dyno at college and the amount of charge "blow by" giving off blue smoke was very bad, all in my eyes and theeen water hose blew because someone didnt do it up correctly...cant trust the competence of people somtimes i think my tutor was the worst tho, he used to play with fire more than i do!!

[andywaller]

while im on here i will just do a quick update.

as you can see the cage now has all the ends notched and is fitted inplace, it just needs the finishing touches and it can be welded in, last night i cut my a pillar strengtheners down to size but im just waiting on some more tube and i can build my seat frame which means i can do the harness tube and it is finished.

on the engine side of things im just staring to ather parts for my K conversion, i have decided to make my own kit as i wanted to run a differerent profile belt than that available in the kits, and also ive got a few little bits i want to change and add.

so thats it for now really.
