Thanks to dectective Joe, I have found some more info and a source for liners *happy* .


Looks like I can get specific liners to bring a 73.5mm bore back down to standard, then bore out to 1293 (they don't do one directly to 1293).


Will send for a quote to supply 4 liners.


Here's a link...

It's been ages, but the mini has been finished (body work) for now and has tax and test. THen I got bored with the 998 and have decided to use the 1430 as it is for now...it's not turbo I know but I would love to drop a 16 valve head on it someday! Will have to live with 5 port for now tho!





(I ditched the barry cans!)




I am slowly changing all the remaining chrome/silvery bits for matt black! lol



Engine with lots of bits...





New front subframe in development/bodging stages...




KAD pedal box rip off





Cheers!

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Infact, what wheel arches are those? I keep trying to spot some I like for my car but always fail.

They look good.

Cheers guys! Means a lot! My friend wasn't convinced on the OEW/Matt black but when we got it all together he soon changed his mind *happy* .

Minimole23, they are group 7 arches (like group 2 wides but without the lip) from shuddersfield spares and suprisingly fitted really well!

Been busy beavering away on the subframe, desperate to get it finished and it's almost there! Just gotta stick it on my jig and make the tie bar mounts.









Then thought i'd better check the engine fitted LOL







Seems to be good clearance even in the closest places...

*indifferent* LOL .



I made the frame, tbh, cos I got a bit bored at work and I like to make things. Plus it's something a bit different...even if it is pointless!

As for the clutch, i'll let my mate do it when it goes as he's a mechanic LOL.

Should have some pics up this weekend!

First part of my evacusump system (just need to order the valves)




Got the subframe back from the powdercoaters




Then, as you do










And how I left her tonight





Need to get on the blower to MED tomorrow to see about a decent crank damper, then get the bottom end balanced and build it up!
