Hey
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys, nice site.

Im just starting to build my first a-series turbo to go in a metro.

Also own a mini, mk1 fiesta, mk1 escort, fiat 126 and more!:cool:

Shall i post pics?

Hi and welcome, the site is full of useful info and i have found that the other site users are always happy to help.

nice choice of cars, wish i had the space to start a collection!

hiya! mk1 fiesta in your sig looks especially interesting.... got any more pics?

theres loads and loads of info on this site, youll probably find 95% of your queries can be answered by using the search, (which is actually bloody good on this site, unlike many others!) anything else can probably be answerd by turbodave!!!!!!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

This reads much better :)

welcome

1293 Turbo mini

Ahh yes the fiesta, i brought it about a year ago, Fitted some GAZ coilovers and the allycats. Otherwise its stock at the moment, ive been using it as my daily so no time for major mods.

It will be coming off the road in a month or so as im building a 1800cc x-flow with a Eaton m45 blower to drop in there.

that looks really really smart!!! like it a lot...... you sure its low enugh though? :)

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

very nice!, lets see some pics of the other cars then. :)

The Metro:


One lady owner from new who is now dead (i think here ghost is in there somewhere tbh!)Only owned it for a couple of weeks and have been getting stuck into some boring bodywork repairs so far, Have picked up a turbo motor for it which i got for free so im thinking it would be rude no to fit it! car will remain looking fairly standard for the sleeper effect but i will lower it and fit some wide wheels.

The Mini:







Ive been building this on and off since i was 13, finaly finished it this June. Runs a tuned 1098 dyno'd at 65bhp. Pics speak for themselves relly.

What wheels and tyres are on the mini? Cars look great btw, gav

Smart looking build on the mini, and the metro looks in good condition.

my GT is in the later stages of build (i hope), should be ready early next year, set up for next summer..

keep up the good work.

I built the wheels myself, They use a 3" inner and a 4" outer rim which i belive are the same as the ones spectrum and mb wheels use. I machined up the centers myself out of cast blanks. They are 10x7 overall with 165/70 tyres.

and before anyone asks, no i cant make you some aswell

The tyres look wider than a 165 or is just me?
