I've been busy trying to get this thing built up over the last 12 months and thought I'd share the result of my labour.....

Spec is nothing ambitious like some other guys on here:

It's a 1380 bottom end with SCCR box and x pin diff. SC supplied kit and other bits and bobs including ECU, exhaust manifold etc. The head is a nice late 1200RS with the 38mm throttle bodies, RS cams and thinner valve stems. I had the head lightly ported whilst modifying it to fit the mini (seemed rude not to...)

Had it running a few weeks ago, but a few major issues meant a full strip down was needed...... and now it's back and chomping at the bit again. Trying to keep the revs down to run it in is a bit tricky........

Hopefully it will stay together and I can get some track days in before the glorious summer ends.....

Nick.

That looks fantastic -a great deal of time an effort obviously went into not just the build but also the presentation.

Thanks guys. I figured if I'm going to these lengths I may as well do it properly and get all the stuff I've been meaning to do finished off like braided teflon lined fuel hoses, little Jap alternator etc.

Benros, I've seen your link before, but as I'm on a base map I don't want to chance giving it full biftas as the timing/ fuelling is not set to my engine spec.

Sprocket, no I've not spoken to the man in question as it's a waste of time in my opinion and he'd probably not answer the phone any way! :) Thanks to a link from you, I got the remainder of my machine work done at Headshop. For anyone in the North West these guys are excellent for machine work, welding, fab work, porting etc.

Matty, I've got a vid, but no idea how to get it up on here..... can anyone help?

Just want to publically thank John and Simon at Specialist Components for all their parts and help..... I don't have the engineering skills that some of you boys have so I wouldn't even have attempted it.

Nick.
