Welcome to TM. Nice looking car mate. Its crying out for a green engine with that brown body colour

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Brown FTW!

Come on Paul, everybody knows green engines are slow. Black is the real fast engine colour!

All these colours are useless without a red undercoat.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Beautiful car Mish, welcome to the forum

1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER

looks terrific, i might still be pissed, but isnt that a dcoe rather than a dcd?

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

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I thought it was a DCOE too... mind i am often wrong.... Mish any pics of you next to the car

Hi there thanks for the comments, for more pictures of the build see them at http://s636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/mish0o0/
The paint choice for the engine was random, except the block was the original metro red, i was gonna do the head red but whilst choiceing suitable paint ie 1200degree thermal paint i choice the blue as i liked the colour .
As for the colour of the car it is a original, 1980 BLMC Clubman 1275GT brown. I had the car resprayed and they used a paint scaner to match it. It has a awsome bronze colour in the sun :)
I would however in the future consider putting a bmw k series head on it, dreams are free :)

Nice car, MX5 seats- good choice.

I'd change the wheels though. the Rover minilights don't do the rest of the car justice.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

very nice

gutted Mish... i thought you were a lass ..... people can dream

nice car though

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

any ideas for more power?
would injection and more cam duration help?

What cam is in there?

EDIT: Just seen you specify it. Do you have any timing figures for it? Duration, lift etc?

I suppose you could up the cam duration and fit mapped ignition. I doubt that changing to injection would yield you anymore power than that weber.

EDIT: Have you had it on the rollers? If so what is it kicking out?
