Pics of my N/A Tahiti soon to be blown!
Turbo Mini Forums

This is my mini called the Grix (after the reg)
This is the day i got it:


Its a 93' 1275 Tahiti, was made on new years eve 93. Ive had it almost two years now since passing my test and its changed quite a bit! The guy before it put an mg metro engine in with apparent 60k on it, big end bearings went at christmas 05 so has been off the road while i sort my turbo!

This was taken the week it clapped out, after a fresh wax!:


And this shows my stage 4 janspeed cut head with HiF44:


Slightly older pic, at a janspeed rolling road day (didnt get on the rollers as the headgasket blew as i got into the car park :


This is the klobber thats going to go together as a 1293 turbo, gradually getting all the bits together like cam etc, aim to be running 10psi with intercooler and avonbar head before coombe this year!:


Hope you all like, Rich
