Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

Unforchantly the time has come to sell my Mini i have owned for 3 years, i need to free up some money for my new car and parents are getting fed up with it taking up the garage!

Heres the spec, Il add some more recent Photos later on today:

Background Info

I have owned the car since March 2007, When I bought it was a 1275cc with 35,000 miles on the clock in excellent running condition, this was my first car so the standard 1275cc engine was great fun and plenty quick enough, I used it as my daily drive for just under a year before I decided I wanted more power and some changes to the looks so I bought myself another car and took the mini off the road.

I have spent the past 2 years rebuilding the car from the ground up; I have spent a fortune on this car and will be very sad to see it go.

The engine that is currently in the car was on 51,000 miles when removed from the 1986 Metro and was in good running condition but I still decided it was best to rebuild the engine, gearbox and turbo. As I progressed through the rebuild I got rather carried away and ended up extensively modifying it on the way, comprising of the modifications listed below.

Since fitting and rebuilding the engine I have done around 2,000 miles running about 7psi boost to run it in, now the car is fully run in the car can be rolling roaded, Slark Race engineering have estimated the car should make 130bhp with it still being re-liable.

i got the clear lense's and tinted them on the inside to keep them glossy from the outside.

Still got the car guys, want it gone now, want the money for mods on my new car.

Youd better move to the uk for a year and import it that way. Them new laws that mean cars have to be standard to come in will sink you.
