Clubman Estate with 8v SC "Twink" Engine
Turbo Mini Forums

Good evening all on TM,

I appreciate that this not a boost powered car (yet!), however it is a nice example of what can be done with this engine setup!

Some of you I am sure will recognise the car however for those that don't.... Here is a run down of the vital details:

Originally a 3 speed Automatic however it was purchased restored as required and re-built by Specialist Components as their demo car to the following engine spec:

1293cc/21253 pistons 10:1 cr
K100 Standard 8v head
std cams
std 33mm throttle bodies (Fuel Injection)
med crank and centre main strap
MED flywheel assy
helical box/drops
4 pin diff
3.44 diff
full SC conversion kit
SC “Cyclone” ecu and loom
Maniflow exhaust from engine to tailtrim
Makes 107bhp on the dyno and is lovely to drive on the road

Dyno Chart on request until I work out how to attach photos.!
Engine has covered less then 100 miles since being built – Video of car in action is here:

Can is a "X" reg (1980/81) White Clubman which was originally a "HL" Automatic
Body has been renovated where required and a new rear sub frame and arms fitted
New HiLo's and Gaz shocks all round
Specialist Components Sub frame bolts and engine steady bar fitted
Engine is fully braced to cope with power increase
Minisport 4 pot callipers at the front and brake bias fitted, braided hoses etc
Front suspension arms, tie bars etc have been up rated to cope with the extra power
Bespoke fuel tank with return less fuel pump fitted
Rostyle Wheels and Yoko Tyres almost new.

Interior is standard apart from new carpet and additional centre dials for oil pressure, engine temp and revs

The car has received a lot of attention and has spent most of its life since rebuild being trailer’ed to Mini shows, road miles have been very limited and it has not been used for racing.

It has been sitting in my garage for the last 6 months (what a waste!) due to time constraints.

As it stands there are a couple of issues that I feel need resolving and I would be happy to negotiate around with perspective purchasers:

The starter motor solenoid is a bit sticky and needs a few go's. I have a new unit but have not had a chance to fit it yet!

Rolled it out of the garage and started it up (no problem) however I noticed a small oil leak from somewhere on the RH Side of the engine. There is an enquiry into SC for a cost to put it right, however I am sure a competent spanner wielder could correct it with little problem. :)

Usual little bubbles of rust along the sills, but the car has got a solid body.

Car is currently SORN'd and Not Taxed or MOT'd, available for viewing by appointment (Norfolk)

Quite happy to put an MOT on it should the buyer wish it...
