If you are using a mini for cruising either stick a 2.95/2.76 in there with 1:1 drops and live with the pap performance off the line.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

minis were never ever designed to cruse for miles at motorway speeds. either buy another car as a daily or use the A roads, your stress levels will be lower and you'll actually get to see what the UK looks like, it's not all tarmac and concrete On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

My old 1275 i used to have it sat at 5k+ on the motorway just had ear plugs in lol, everyone seemed to get out of the way it was so loud. But having a mini as a daily is a life style not just for fun lol Drives

I agree with colin. Take the a-roads and enjoy it. OK it will take longer but that means stopping more in places you will have never been for a rest. IMO build the engine for what you will get the most enjoyment from. Otherwise,,, whats the point? |

Especially as I get discount BA flights Seen enough of the uk roads as I use to be a car trader Last year did 34k Would I do that in a mini? Fuck No!

What's the 3.44 like Gary? Always felt a bit short with a helical box but is it better with the long first on a SC box? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
