Welcome to some vtec yo!

Dammm never knew that happened to your mini, kudos to you though for getting back on it, most people would've been put off and turned away, so fair play

i did for a wile i was so upset i said f**k the minis and bort a toyota starlet turbo thas where i got my tast for speed from didnt go down the garage for a wile wich isnt like me as i lived down there dont see why sum one burned it out recon it was just because it was an old car

dont see why sum one burned it out recon it was just because it was an old car

Its crazy stupid world with crazy stupid people that are not worth the oxygen they are breathing, so trying to find the answer is never gonna work

What will work is not being put off and getting back on it, like I said, credit where due mate

Whats that other red one with the blended in bodywork?

[johny:)]

thas one of my othere minis thats what got me into them about 4 years ago my next door nabor moved in and that was his pride and joy after a wile wen the engine went in it he bort a new one and sold that to me i put the 1300 mpi engine out of my red 1 wich was burned as i only rebuilt the engine a week befor it was stole and spent about £800 doing it im thinking of geting a loom init and use it through the summer so i got a mini to got to shows in as i hate going to them with out a mini its not the same and im gessing the v tec will take a wile as i now after christmas i finish my training cors and am jobless then

It looks an interesting model as its got some seriously wide arches on it, is that a hillclimber or something? (sorry not clued up on all his climbing up hills malarkey!)

What was it running before you put the MPi lump in?

[johny:)]

big body kit bit of a show off car realy

Love that sunstrip sticker

Its looks like some kind of z-cars brute with that kit on, also whats that on the rear shelf?

[johny:)]

yea that kit looks mad im not realy into kits no more but was wen i bort it im going to just use it for the summer so i got a mini to drive as i realy miss driving one

the thing in the back is a power cap it converts the power from the battery to run the amp (I think lol )
