Check out my spots!
Turbo Mini Forums

Just bolted on my spots, mainly due to being bored to see how they looked...

no problems on the lanes with them!!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

damn straight!!

although i reckon they'll have to come off in the summer to stop the airflow to the intercooler getting blocked off.

Look great.

Did you buy those as a kit?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

No,

I got the outside pair off ebay, a NOS boxed pair of lucas SFT700's from 1986

the inner pair i got from here. (really nice repro's, better than the originals infact!)

the lamp bar is a minispares stainless one, and i have fitted the lamps with 50W halogen bulbs.

Not a cheap setup but i REALLY wanted that works rally setup!

eventualy i want to get a set of cibie biodes in there to replace the headlamps too.

Shit..I wouldn't like to be driving towards you in the dark. :) Lol

They do look wicked, are they classed as just normal driving lights?

the plenum on the floor looks like it's big enough. How big is it going to be? the alloy tube looks huge!

Team Racing

Ahh the plenum yees,

the port runners are 4 39mmx 70mm tubes tapering out at 5deg to 45mm (to match some stubstacks)

I got hold of 2 bits of tube to use for the plenum part, a bit of 3" and a bit of 4", the 3" gives a bit less room around the intakes than i'd like but the 4" only JUST fits under the bonnet, i guess i'll be looking for a bit of 3.5"...

Excellent!!!!:)

You got to love big spot lamps I hate the wiring of them though, PITA

Edited by Sprocket on 12th Feb, 2007.

Nice!

do you have a plug&socket on yours to remove them wih the lamp bar?

I've was keeping my eyes peeled for a 5 pin works stylee one but they seem a bit rocking horse poo.

I used some two pin connectors for each lamp for +ve -ve and wired everything up through the relays with a fused supply from the battery.

One thing you may way find as i found with the cibies, the light beams tend to dance around. I fitted some lamp stays from the bonnet slam panel to the top of the lamps. I made the stays from what could be classed as stainless jubilee clips. Light beams solid as a rock.

Put it this way, the gill rarely comes off, oil filter change is done from underneath.

Though it is still a fairly simple afair to remove the lamps, three bolts on the bar and four screws on the stays, unplug the lamps and its lamp free.

mmm, I was wondering about the "dancing"

my bracket is the stainless one which i get the impression might be a little bit stiffer, just have to see i guess, mind you with the roads here mini's are like driving a pogo stick so it may not notice.

I see you havent got round to the moustache ends either!

Edited by Joe C on 12th Feb, 2007.

I think they look shit, Jackman does not have them either

i know what you mean,

i can't decide whether to put them on or not, I kind of feel they "should" go on as its a mk1 despite whether the look good or not, anyway theres lots of stuff i need to worry about first!

Id leave the side peices off if its a daily drive, they are expensive to replace and very easy to remove.

Manchester Minis

got me some period lamp jonnies to match the lamps.

mmmmmmm

whats the three tiny silver things on the bonnet of the cream mmini?
