Ah thanks just one other thing do you have to have the Nippon denso alternator to get It to fit? Looks well smart though!

I've done 4 since building it Joe! Lol

Jamie, it needs the dizzy removing, the smaller alternator, a bit taken off the transfer housing, the grille spaced out and the starter rotating to fit it in. Even then there is next to no clearance.

Bit of progress

I've got my block back and fitted the Bimmer cooling jets (With more then a little help from Joe Mr13. Thanks mate).

Sorry about the crap pics. Blame Apple and their useless iPhone.

No more servo... Only been meaning to bin it for 6 years! Look at all that room.



I managed to sort the braided lines on a budget. I modified the ones I had for the servo.

Not much to update with. Just replaced all the fuel lines in the car with teflon, fitted the new tank, 'genuinely heavy' carbon boot floor and lightweight battery.

Not sure on the weight saving (battery is 6kg lighter) but at least it'll not stink of fuel in the car anymore.

Boot looks grand, but that dirty screenwash bottle spoils it...

You're as much of a tart as I am Andy. That is due to be replaced with a shiny version.

Hopefully not. I'm taking it easy Joe. I'm ashamed to say that the boost has been turned down (I'm blushing as I type) while we use the car as a daily *oh well*

Bloody grenaded BINI midlands 5- speed crock of shite is to blame.

Looking for a cheapo run-around so I don't have to use it for too long.
