how much did the conversio cost you to do? how easy was it to install? what are the breakes like now? and why did you move your exhuast to where it is? surely if your going to pop and crackel a flame everyso often its just going to discolour your lovly whiney bumpers :) Drives

looks just like mine.. We did mine this time last year with a friend from the local mini club.. top job and much better than the drums I had fitted. We then created the how to vid.. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The mini addicts vid? had a little prob with the metro drive flange bolts, they have metric threads, i used the original 8,4 bolts but don´t know if they are up to the job? They are a bit shorter and have smaller head, is it possible to re tapp the disks? cheers //marcus internationally known as "big" swede |

A great place for an exhaust, had mine there for a few years now. Ideal if you want a nice smooth undertray.

You can just see the end of it in the photo I linked to, it basically covers the hole the subframe makes.
