Has Anyone read the new Technical MiniMag they are selling now.

I have, i got it and something really made me smile. In particular the bit about slamming a stage 1 on a 998 (which im preparing to do now im 20 and declaring that sorta stuff to the insurance man aint a kick in the gonads)

But further still fudging a 997 Cooper Profiled Cam in gives 40% power increase plus torque in the pocket fulls.

So i said, "DAD!!!! We're changing the cam in mine to a cooper 997 i want power and i want it now" in which he replyed are you sure? How long? and are you sure you want to remove the engine on the driveway (no garage unfortunatly :'( ) In which i said Yes it'll b rite ;D

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell is a 997 Cooper cam it gives not a jot on actual details if you wana buy one. Ive been on minisport (just as a guide) and they quote, FAST ROAD, RALLY. all the sorts of words a young lad wants to be hearing, but what the hell. :-


Talk to me people, before i loose interest and try to butter me toast on three sides to releive the bordom.

Cheers All,

Nate

WHSmiths have it. The MiniMag normally have a section which does all technical bits, like changing a clutch or setting your rockers, etc...

They've stuck it all together in one shiney glossy paper back coffee coaster.

£4.95 from your local WHSmiths

yes but it has a name.

MINI EXPERT.

The cooper 997 cam is known to you and me as a 948. The Minsport product code is CA2 and then with either a ... P, S or M.

CA2P - peg drive
CA2M - slot drive
CA2S - spider drive
