am i right in saying that the thermostat is on the return pipe from the radiator to the engine, as opposed to on the way to the radiator? we were advised (by Q.E.D at the donnington lotus show earlier this year)to fit an adapter that moves it so it controls the water as it leaves the engine. supposed to help.

I think Dans been scared off. I think he's worried that he's going to spend all this money on his mini and it still won't be quicker than my 1275 Minus....

Guys guys guys.....i'm still alive! I haven't done a thing to the mini for ages....its a crying shame really. The shell still needs the toeboard and inner wings welding in....the engine still hasn't been dyno'd.....the cage is still in its component pieces....

I started a new job and now realise how spoiled I was in my old one only having a ten minute drive to work.....i'm now out at 7am and back at 7pm+ so my free time is cut down considerably.....then theres the Lotus which I'm enjoying immensely at the moment.....its getting to the point where i'm considering what to do with the project......do I continue....? So much money tied up in the project but neither the time nor the inclination to get on with it at the moment......grrrr.

Finish it, finish it. Or I'll take it and finish it myself as a donation to the "Aric Doesn't Have Quite Enough Crazy Mini Projects" Society...your choice Which of the Loti did you get again?

aah no dan, you have to finish it...you said you were going to give me a ride when its done

[Jammy]

Your obviously too busy to do anything with it, and quite frankly the work you'd done on it wasn't that good anyway. Let me know when I can pick it all up and I'll sort out this mess for you.

one of the most dissapointing statements I have ever read on this forum dan.

Now go back through and read from page 1 so thaat you careas much as the rest of us seem to!!!

(please carry on)

dan i have just flicked through the whole project and i would just like to say you cant give up on this.

is there anyway you could get it inside so you could work on it, i was feeling like this before i got mine in my shed but now i can work on it its going quickly.

getting the shell finished is a big step especially the amount of man hours that have to go in but its all worth it at the end.

next time i come on here i was to see that toe board and inner wings welded in!

I really cant believe your thinking of giving it up Dan!!!

You can always spend the weekends on it, can you not? Especially now the nights draw in a lot sooner, and its starting to get cold. go and buy a gas heater and get to work.

[danwebster]

I'm afraid its not looking good chaps....there is a good chance it will all be up for grabs soon....just need to make my mind up 100%.....

Get your wallets ready...

[danwebster]

You better get down the bank then and ask him to lend you a few quid because all the ingredients are there for the ultimate mini....

[JetBLICK]
