Thinking of selling (another one of those what's it worth threads)
Turbo Mini Forums

So i've come to the realisation that trying to keep two minis is not an affordable hobby. I'm toying with the idea of selling my 998 turbo to get some funds for the 1275 EFi Turbo and to go a little way towards a house.

Build thread is here... http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...tid=326421&fr=0
unfortunately some of the pic links are broken. I will try and get them back up asap.

Basic points are:
Restored just over 2 years ago.
998 Turbo Engine putting out 110 bhp (curve in the build thread)
12G295 head w/ double valve springs
T2 turbo running approx 13psi / 0.9 bar (bleed valve in car)
Metro NA cam
Intercooler and Samco silicon pipes
Oil cooler
Minispares 2 core rad
Megasquirt 1 set up for ignition only running wasted spark coils
Stainless play mini exhaust
recirculating dump valve



Adjustable tie rods
Front spax adjustables
Adjustable rear toe, camber brackets
Fibreglass custom bonnet with vent for intercooler
Bucket seats and harnesses
Steering drop bracket and wheel extension
Oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauge
Supalite 12 x 6 wheels
Yoko A539 tyres


A couple of down sides:
Front uprights need replacing and new bearings
Clutch slips on full boost so have turned down to 0.7 bar boost for now (i.e. new clutch required)

I was thinking £5550?
there aren't many turbo minis for sale at the mo to judge against. ebay will probably be the best market for it but just wanted some input

1275 N/A Sprite, 998 T2 Turbo Mayfair
1275 EFi Turbo

Prob get more in bits TBH.

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