Hi all,

i am about to complete my second mini turbo project, first attempt was a total disaster!! five years down the line and lots of money later a second is about to be born

With lots and lots of engine help from benross we have a 1380 turbo with all the extras and a good looking shell thanks to a non runner from ebay.

its a 1996 Mini equinox in blue purple filp, apparantly a factory colour but im not too sure on it! opinions are welcome!!

Thats about it, awesome site and awesome members thanks for all previous and future help recieved!

the 7x13's have a lot of negative offset that can make the steering interesting,

also stretching 175's onto 7's make the car twitchy too,

I'm in the process of swapping from 7x13's to 6x13's to make mine less lethal.

I don't think your car is comparable to the average 5 port, T3 A series though *happy*

Well, if you include replacing the bent valve and snapped valve spring in between A and B then yes, they probably are *tongue*
