Looks nice, I think I prefer the original rear lights to the clear ones though. You should think about fitting an intercooler for some extra power on the cheap!

Nope, but some of our 1100's are 1275 bores with shorter stroke. Would be interested to know what it costs to import a car, just brought a plenum, carb and manifold and the shipping was 80quid alone(same price i paid for the setup)

Don't mean to be rude but it seems you've mixed up intercoler and oil cooler, but as Tom says, fitting an intercooler gets you some "cheap" power, and once done you have all the parts for any future intercooler install too, maybe the odd new pipe required when you decide to go for a sofa-sized intercooler. Your Mini looks really smart though, just goes to show how harsh British weather is on Minis! |

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
