they look a bit longer than the 4 pots, you might sill be in with a chance.

there must be someone near you with a set, failing that post a wheel to me and i will cheack them on my set up

[mini93]

dog, just take one to a show, surly sum1 there will have 4 pots just ask them lol

[Dog]

They won't fit FULL STOP!
got to remember, I've still got the balancing weights still to go on, and I am not having them stuck on the front of the wheels...

I'll just have to put the Mini's "on the road" date further forward now... and I'll get a new 12"-10" conversion kit,,,

[Dog]

On a lighter note...


Just argeed to buy these off Ollie..
Just going to trim them down a little - I know my wheels are no where near fat enough to use the full arch, so going to trim them 1 or 2 inchs, I like them for the shape, not for the width!

[mini93]

that should look cool! if it works im a lil unsure about it...

[Dog]

Ye like I said, I'm not having them for the width, I want them for the shape, as I'm getting less and less keen on grp2 arches lol

anyways, the next thing on the buy list;-
http://www.minispare....aspx?pid=35799

I'll have to get them after I've built my engine though, as my box is costing me a fair few bob!

[Ollie180]

erm...

I have a slight update...
I'm send my pistons off to MSPD again... for machining...
When I get my block, thats also going off for machining...

Machining for what you may ask... well these slight tweaks will give something around 150-165bhp n/a...
That small mod is.....

so no nurburgring this year?

[Bungle]

have you changed your mind again

[Dog]

No I never change my mind

I can't go on the BH2N run this year anyway, someone has already got that time off and I'm not aloud to have the time off too

So yes May 2008 - Rivi Run
I've ordered my new 1380 block, and have sent my pistons off for machining today, so I have no choice now but to go 1380 16v

[The Matt]

Cool choice! I guess you've looked at Minisprockets thread with the same type of engine build?
