Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Took the engine out today and cleaned the engine bay out R65U wants to be changed to a PG1 with torsen, but as yet havent found one. Should have the front back to metal soon clean up the crap welding and get it sprayed so i can fit the engine Need to change the SPI tank fuel pump to the VVC one i took out the tro, feed some pipes front to back and hook up the front brakes before the engine fitting Going to take the 185 55 13 Toyo road pros off the GTA wheels and fit them to my MPI's for the metro Need ideas on what wheels to fit so it doesnt look like a mini on metro wheels. Will run 175 50 13's too  (IMAG0068 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0069 [800x600].jpg) Attachments ----------------  IMAG0068 [800x600].jpg (60KB - 75 downloads) IMAG0069 [800x600].jpg (58KB - 76 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Few things changed, i bought a PG1 with a torsen diff so going to change out the R65U as the car will be tracked and looking at 1/4 mile times the diff cars are 0.5 quicker in the late 13s Also removed the cross spoke alloys and stole the near new Toyo Roadpro 185 55 13s and put them on the metro So had to fit my Avon ZZRs which look ok, my mate says it looks like a mini on a metro chassis but will collect steelies from Tony Itsonlyme on thursday, along with MGF Calipers, carriers, 160 6 bolt manifold and MGF shafts for the PG1. I have some spare discs and pads (chocolate green stuff) for the time being Spacers on the back look er fooking big Subframe is new with braided lines for the brakes adjustable spax too  (IMAG0086 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0087 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0089 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0090 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0091 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0092 [800x600].jpg) Attachments ---------------- IMAG0086 [800x600].jpg (75KB - 80 downloads) IMAG0087 [800x600].jpg (57KB - 73 downloads) IMAG0089 [800x600].jpg (75KB - 73 downloads) IMAG0090 [800x600].jpg (73KB - 72 downloads) IMAG0091 [800x600].jpg (59KB - 73 downloads) IMAG0092 [800x600].jpg (98KB - 69 downloads) | ||

 Elite Veteran Posts: 978 Location: Walderslade, Kent | Not trying to shit on your build but to me it just aint right mate a mates vvc mini on mini wheels... and again on metro wheels..   Not sure on what you're planning with this build but surely its worth looking into making Mini PCD wheels fit? Edited by mini-mad-craig 28/3/2012 2:42 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Few things have happened since last thread, got some wide steelies and vented discs, pads (ebc green chocolate) and calipers from the magic shed known as its only me. Need some spaces for the front wheels though as they do touch.... And Cheeky Scott has done a little welding, on the scuttle panel and filled in the holes on the bulkhead Have a C6BST with type b and an unknown K series PG1 with new bearings on its way to Matt P for refurb, so will be going PG1  (IMAG0096 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0097 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0098 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0100 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0112 [800x600].jpg)  (IMAG0114 [800x600].jpg) Attachments ---------------- IMAG0096 [800x600].jpg (66KB - 76 downloads) IMAG0097 [800x600].jpg (60KB - 77 downloads) IMAG0098 [800x600].jpg (96KB - 74 downloads) IMAG0100 [800x600].jpg (48KB - 75 downloads) IMAG0112 [800x600].jpg (89KB - 76 downloads) IMAG0114 [800x600].jpg (93KB - 75 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Oh well looks like a trip to Santa Pod and being beaten by Sean has made me realise my mini needs a turbo ! So we have bought a 75 Turbo with a blown head gasket, will be getting the help of the ever helpful itsonlyme to strip the engine have a loom and ecu from Dazz and Sean and will be shooting for the same 200bhp K7 box from the Metro will be used, as mini has much smaller tyres and will have a type A diff from the 820 turbo box i just bought !

Expert Posts: 2812 Location: Bournemouth | Not much has been done as manic busy at work but collected the 75 1.8 Turbo which is now at itsonlyme's having the HGF fixed Should have the engine soon, can then bolt it in and have a Zandf remapped ecu and loom from Dazz and Sean to fit so should be close to the 200bhp mark once the 2 1/4" exhaust has been made Also had a new pedal made to go around the steering column Had a K7 gearbox made up by Matt Parker with a Type B that needs to be collected and will be using the metro flywheel and 220 turbo clutch Also got some 175 50 13 A539 yokos for £150 which are basically brand new......
