Irish Mini Owners Club

Hi Lads,
would any of you have the phone number of Shane the bodyman in Wicklow?
Cheers ,Sergio.

Hey, on this website you also can find very cheap hotels. http://www.booking.com/ In Waterford you can check the Marina Hotel, it should have reasonable prices. for Dublin, it really depends where in Dublin they want to stay, and how long they want to stay. The Bewleys out on the N7 has rooms for 69...

As far as i know the bolt on modifications you can do on the 1 litre engine are: stage 1 exhaust, LCB and K&N filter (20% power increase), and changing the cylinder head with a ported and better flowed 12g295 from a 998 cooper s (+6 hp). This without spending too much money. If you can and want ...

Happy Christmas lads and gals.
May the new year be free of eternally steamed windscreens.
Sergio.

Hi guys, I will be away over Christmas and the new year, going back home to visit family and friends, and while there, i'll probably get the chace to do a bit of skiing.
I wish you all a good Christmas and all the best for the new year.
I'll see you again in january.
All the Best, sergio.

If it is not a wiring problem you can get the petrol tank sensor and the gasket from ebay for 15quid, the installation is extremely simple, there is only one way it would go in, it took me 15 min and I never saw one before.
good luck

Hi guys, update on the angel eyes: I got them from Jonspeed, put them on, it's straight forward, the only thing is that you have to cut 2 edges of the metal bowl to fit the 2 sidelights. They come with blue green and red rubber tubes to have the side light beam in Colour, but I wouldn't bother, you ...

looks like a great day you had, pity I couldn't come. It will be next time.

Just to clarify it's a 7.5" disk brake assembly for 10" wheels

Hi guys, I received yesterday my "new" 10" disk brake assembly to replace the drum brakes. Basically reconditioned hubs and driveshafts with new calipers, disks, dirve flanges, cv joints and ball joints, all assembled. I had a quick look at it and I noticed two things, one drive shaft...

As far a i know the spi was introduced in 1992 and the mpi only late in 1998, so yours it's definitely an spi. since you have to put in a new exhaust you could put in a stage 1 kit, so that you get better flow of gases out of the engine. check with a specialilst about the exhaust, you ca have small ...

I was talking to Jocelyn, according to him the coilovers will destroy the subframes in the long run, this said though I don't have any experience with them.

I'm not disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing, but angel eyes that you can put on your mini are usually not E marked, which means that they are not legal in EU, and the car will not pass the NCT. Now, the fact that the gards accept them and don't give you a ticket is a different story. The other t...

I found out I have some nice chromed 5x10" weller, unfortunately not in production anymore

Anybody remembers the film "the Principal with James Belusci
You don't mess with the principal.....

She can try Carol Nash as well, got it there for 200 euro. http://www.carolenash.com/classic-car-insurance/
Axa requires that you have another ca insured for at least 1 years or they will not insure you with the classic. Hibernian has a similar policy.
Sergio.

well, everything I'm thinking of buying goes on the mini, so it has to fit in the mini....

hey, good idea. I leave around the naas road, N7. I could intercept you there around 11.30 and join the convoy.
Sergio.

can you insure the vehicle to someone that is not the owner of the car though?

hope it helps

OK, finally found the nipples, in Southside motor factors. Changed the nipples, and now it greases through.

I think I've just set a record here... my 1974 mini was imported, I assume from UK, and since it's in ireland, I'm the second owner.
