big things are afoot shortley!

and its painted in the old traditional celulose.
am a old schooler at that
the dash is SOLID american black wallnut 3/8" thick not a
3 micron veneer!

So Benross when exactly did you paint your mini yellow and drill those 4 holes by the bonnet badge????...LOL

Looks way cool

giallofly:

OH! several................. years ago now john

the best ones are yellow especially with the chequerd roof
LOL

I think yours may have inspired me a little at cadwell 98

its better than the camp pink of the traveler
sort of whent off that camp color scheme LOL

The pictures do not do this car justice........

To see it in the metal the quality of work, all done by the man mr benross is top notch........

roof looks good , strip light test well and truely passed

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

especially as it is a new roof skin that was replaced......

i like the TURBO engraved into the dashboard. A good reminder if u drive several different cars!!!!

yea, the dash look's top's, so do all the pipes to and from the intercooler, great job!

998 turbo

THANKs guys for the comments

its nice to hear and warmley welcome

it just makes all the work worth while to hear this

THANKS AGAIN

nice one. why is all the minis painted yellow. is it some kind of a team??????????????

dont know pete ?

mine was a saftey thing
statistically its the safest colure on the road!

as a turbo and high speeds was expected i thought i would paint it this

VW gelb yellow

having said that gioloflys inspired me a little back in 98

i must be honest

i thought it was paint left over from the beatles yellow submarine

mine has been yellow for over 10 years it was a bit radical at the time, but then I was a lot younger then

Team Racing

Black minis are best!!!!

I got 2 now

Today I was lucky enough to be able to drive this car.

Excellent fun, really enjoyed it.

The engine at present is only basic spec, but running up to 15psi boost, it really flies!

This was the first time I have ever driven a turbo mini, has spurred me on to complete my own car for sure!

Cheers Benross!

glad you enjoyed it tom

ANYTIME!

bigger things are afoot this winter with a monster engine

mind you 15 psi boost with modded head and intercooler highlift rockers

its fun! scared myself halfe to death to day
it must be my age!

Hopefully I didn't scare you too much when I drove your car with you as a passenger ben......

Well hopefully not as much as the last time I drove you!!!

Excellent fun all the same!

Have you tried any of the changes of settings we discussed?

dave you will get there buddy
my other car dave is a 306 diesel 72 bhp its worlds away from the mini

i was having a bash with a citron C2 with 2 slack jawd chavs in
there was no contest the mini WHATSOEVER!! just blew them in peices, NO CONTEST!!!!

they were gutted!!!!

tom going to to sort them this week buddy

sorting the clutch first! the others to follow

i fitted the taliban rocket launcher exaust back on and it has placed at least another 20% power all through the rev range

although its not the best sounding exaust note!

i wonder what the other chaps are using for the best sounding exaust note & free flow upto say 200 bhp????

going to order some tetra boost for now! just to keep me out of the dark side!

as i have no inserts on the valve seats as well

untill i build the other unit
