Reg: 1988 (F)
Engine: 1275 Turbo
Model: Designer
MOT: End of May
Tax: None
Price: £1,200 ONO
Location: Bristol BS3



Hey guys and girls.

I unfortunately have to sell my turbo mini.
I have had this car since 2005 when it was a 998, i have since changed the engine to a metro turbo engine bought from a member of this forum.

The engine comes with Megajolt. It is currently running on only the EDIS system as the megajolt ECU is being repaired by Alex at AFRacing.

The Mini is Tahiti Blue, it has miglia arches and a fibreglass removable front and DTM style mirrors in white. the arches are not fitted nicely, they were attached just enough to pass the mot as time was running out.
the front needs TLC to line it up properly.

Good Points:

Solid subframe mounts.
Gaz shocks
adjustable rear ride hight.
boost guage.
Adjustable boost valve.
Bucket seats
3 Point harnesses.
Braided fuel lines.


Bad Bits:

Drivers top door hinge is only held on with one bolt so the door has dropped stightly.
there is a leak somewhere letting in water to the footwell (door seel?)
rear subframe looked a little rusty before i wax oiled it.
the boot has surface rust.
the turbo exhaust elbow is held on with 3 bolts, one has snapped causing it to blow (loudly)
slight air leak after the carb causing unsteady idle.

I have tried putting up pics but it only allows 4 at a time so i will try post more up.

There are lots of things i have probably missed so if anyone has questions, please contact me.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

I'd love this for a daily drive, but can't justify selling the honda for another mini!
