Just my opinion but don't modify it. Keep it original.

Keep it stock. And there is a kit for madgic wand. To make it shift better and more reliable. Forgot where i seen it. But probably a quick google. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

yeah I would, but he has grown up around mini's and knows what he wants... he wants it period and correct, wants to put some 10" minilites on and leave it at that.

have to agree with the others; and the fact a standard car is probably going to be much easier to insure |

Totally agree Rob. and to be fair I did say to him that in time....and with his own no claims..... he can drop a 1275 in, or sell the mini and go the later modified route.

depending on the gear case its tricky to get a 1275 on a wand box, if its an 1128 casing then your laughing, it'll go straight on, ( think they did 1128 MW's late on....) other wise there'll be a faor bit of case grinding to do, and the early casings are known to breath through to the outside world... theres details in vizards how to modify your mini.

My new project is a mk1, but really really bad. Was planning on building a road legal period racer on wide 10's with t45 cage etc. but the more I think about it the more tempted I am to leave it stock, apart from some decent 4 pots, a tuned 1380 and a set of of rosepetals.

In my opinion, if you had bought a complete running 850 mini and were asking if you should turbo it, i'd say no, leave it stock.
