they do look cool but as for owning one.. idk

were you driving through cavan a month or so ago and met a red mini a few hundred yards before you get to the traffic lights?? (there is only one set of traffic lights in cavan town, just not to confuse everyone )

ok, well plans to head england and buy a mini and project should hopefully be happening very soon.. now was talking to the guy who has the project here is a quote from an email sent : Quote from ''theminiforum.co.uk ------ username : stormduck'' ''''I don't know what your engine plans are but i have...

i am waiting for a reply from my cousin but i think that his mini was already on irish plates before. He lived here for a few years before going back to england, so i might not have much issues with the vrt and there might just be a small fee for re-registering it .. :arrow: fingers crossed... here ...

ok, i was originally on the look out for a project mini, got redirected to a bargain project on a different mini site but the project was in england, london... phoned my cousins husband who are living in london to find that he is also selling his mint 89 racing flame mini :lol: head started thinking...

i never go near the red line to be honest... the noise and vibrations scare the jibbers outta me..... plus when i let it rev that high i get a strong smell of burning oil or something..<---- that normal by the way??

im not to sure, it fitted my 45d (something) distributor and think that particular one is just for that car carb but if you read down through the second link i gave you http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=85447 somewhere in there someone was asking if there was an elcetronic uni...

can someone just verify before i remove the carb.. is the jet needle that attches to the float on all hif carbs the same?? mine was broke on the hif38 so i switched the one from a hif44 carb onto it, which as result after many cancelations could be where the fault lies as to why my engine stalls on ...

the power is not mixed up with the input from the coil?? wat ?
how much would you be lookin to sell your tacho for? does it click on to the other 2 clocks? (speedometer, fuel/oil)

hiya guys a long time ago (year or so) i decided to remove my clocks and put a little logo or sumn on them.. while i was at it i found something rattling in my tachometer so out of curiousity i opened it up, found nothing wrong and put it back together and back into the car..... :roll: tacho not wor...

try bleeding the clutch cylinder might help, easy job too...
