Howdy all! Thought I'd post my list of ideas. Kind of long but so worth it don't you think? Here it is.

New handbrake to match new shift knob
vinyl covered under rear seat speaker box.
vinyl covered dash and centre console from Southern mini centre
Front seats(pair) Corbeau of some sort
rear seat recover-black
Trim Panel Package-black
Carpet kit-black
Sound Insulation
Keyless Entry
Electric windows(not sure...maybe)
alarm and immobiliser
horn kit
stage one engine kit
inertia reel seatbelts
poly bushings
front 7 1/2 inch disc brake conversion kit
suspension-springs shocks
4 lamp fog light
sump guard(gotta love em)
steering wheel(not sure what kind yet but a new one for sure. Maybe a racy looking one.)
shift knob(500 series replica?)
sports pedals
6 piece aluminum handle set
rims and tires err tyres :-P- Either MB Racing wheels or Force racing wheels(anyone know where to getr either of these online?)
Miglia type arches
bonnet badge (winged that says cooper or mini?)
I.C.E- I figure a good some. Soem tweeters and mids. And the final piece. A 7 inch motorized pop out DVD CD MP3 touch screen monitor
Repaint maybe light gray or black or maybe a baby blue?
That's what I have so far.
I plan on doing this over like 3 years.


Oh and a question a stage one kit can get me like 50bhp or am I shooting too high? What else would I need to get 50-60BHP and a good reliable car still?

Thanks,
Derek


EDIT: Forgot the link to the car. http://turkys.com/mincity.html This guy has like 20 of them from NZ and suppose to be Rust free :-D

Hey Joontane is it a 998 you are talking about? If it is they are 39hp. from factory, with a stage one at best you's be at about 45hp. If it were an extremely sound engine and was tuned perfectly I suppose you could push 50hp. but it ias a bit of a stretch.

The plans sound pretty good by the way.

I'm almost positive it's a 998. They have a 1275 in a round nose for sale as well. It's like a '74 though. Worth buying? How much hp stock? Also how much hp with a stage 1 kit?

Thanks,
Derek
