if been a visitor on your site for hmm, atleast the last 6 years! but my minis been abit slow off the ground with the buying two houses, oh and not forgetting the arival of my two children in between!!!

im keen to post some pics on the 'show us yours' section.

i first turbo charged my mini back in 2001, using a 1988 metro turbo as the donor, after melting a piston, in 2002 i took her off the road for a 'quick' rebuild- yea, famous last words i know! whilst this was off the road a bought another mini.... oh, and got another engine, and turbo'd that, it was then i thought it was daft to have two, so sold that to my little brother.

and how since then ive had a few metro turbos, i couldnt say no when they poped up etc etc (my current day car atm is a late 1990 black mg metro turbo which is in my opinoin is rather mint (some of you may have seen it at castle combe this year?)

any how, my mini... i comissioned SRE to build me a top spec turbo lump after they did the same for my older brother (he had his turbo mini featured on the minifilms dvd) (it was the second turbo'd mini after the awsome miniwilliams, i think its ultimate mini extreme!? (ive lost the dvd)
... so yea, i payed slark thousands for the engine, i charge cooled it and made some awsome stainless pipes for it but with the arival of my second daughter, and my mate waving £3500 cash under my nose i said yes :0( THIS ENGINE NOW FEATURES IN A RED P'-REG MINI TURBO with 12" spectrums:) THAT WAS RECENTLY MW FEATURED AND THE CAR WAS PARKED ON THE MW STAND AT COMBE.

after realising i shouldnt of sold the engine, ive now got the turbo engine off my little brother, and am in the mist of playing with it, and chargecooling this one too.

quick spec for my mini:
85 shell painted porsche steel grey
14" rims
rover mini cabrio bodykit (modified all arches)
seat cubra seats (front and rear)
full cage
citroen saxo dashboard and door panels (colour coded)

im going for a full feature on this one, and the reason its taking so long is i do it all myself! including spaying/mechanics (ok so my dad choped the saxo wireing loom into the mini loom)

try get some snaps up this savo ;0)
