Just thought I'd say hi. My first car was an '89 Flame Red and I can still remember how well it handled so after 10 years without a Mini I've been given a Mini 25. This won't be my daily drive so I'll be making a few changes, in the form of the Z Cars Type R conversion.

I'm sure I'll be back for advice later.

Sounds cool! Have you got the kit yet?? I take it you have ordered the rear engined version???

Where abouts are you?

Cheers

Yes it is the rear engined version. I've not ordered the kit yet as I don't think I'll have the shell ready in the next 6 weeks and they're still playing around with the springs and anti-roll bar settings so I'd rather wait and get their final setup. I'll probably order it this week though.

I'm near Banbury in Oxfordshire.

Cool conversion. Me doing a Vtec conversion at the moment, not Z Cars though.

When you looking to have it done by?

If you finish it by mid-August you could come on BH2N :w00t:

Hi Digby

I was looking on your site last night, my previous car was a Super Six. How did the build compare to the Tiger?

Yay! If we carry on this way then we can get the most densely mini populated area in GB! :lol:

Welcome!
