Paying out your arse anyway, might as well get your moneys worth I say haha

If you have lied on the insurance proposal forms then you are not insured anyway. Another uninsured driver on the roads.
Why would a new driver want a 1380 when he/she hasn't learnt to drive yet. Passing the test is not learning to drive, just learning to pass the test - very different!
And you're admitting to driving at 110 mph. That has to be seriously unsafe. I would suggest that you take some advanced driving lessons, put in a 1275 engine so that you have insurance and calm down until you can drive.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but those are the facts. If you continue to drive faster than you know how to, then you will crash - simples!

What i really don't get is why if your gunna lie, why say its a 1275? its just the same outcome if you say its 7cc. Voided.

If you want a 1380, your gunna have to pay for to insure a 1380 thats how it works.

In my last Mini (998) about 85. Current (998) I've only took on a motorway once or twice and got to around 70-75

[james94]

the reason i said it was a 1275 is becuase when i first got the car ( not long ago ) i thought it was a 1275. however recently i have found out it is a 1380 when the mini mechanic i used gave it the once over and informed me off the bigger engine :), now i am deciding weather to change the engine or pay the extra. it will all be sorted soon and i dont intend on driving it not delcared :)

just about 70 before I ran out of road, not that she had much left in her anyway. not in violation of any speed limits as it was a private road.

And, just to defend us teens (what am I talking about, I can't stand most teenagers!), I was 17 at the time.

WOW, great mechanic if a "once over" includes taking the head off?

Sorry, had to be said.

you can tell without taking the head off ha ha, were the metal plate on the block is with the engine number next to the water pump. if that isnt there it has had a rebore :), cheers anyway for the comment ;) lol

Brilliant, My 998 does not have one. Must mean its a 1380......... Bargin, best £100 i ever spend.

Thanks for the advice.

[james94]

ha ha ok then, i will try and make more sense. not if it has been removed but if it is not there as there is no room for it form the rebore lol :). lets call it a day there am knackered form having to atcually right a sensible answer for once ;)

james

[Daviewonder]

That must be quite a rebore if it affects the engine number on the outside of the head and block


See how much space there is between the bore and where the engine number goes-

[blakie]

Must run rough as heck!!! A tiny bit of compression lost in a cylinder I think.



Im glad someone agrees hes not making any sence at all....

[james94]

i give up ha ha you win i am just going to die in a hole ;)
