Wow nearly a year since a post on the thread! I had kinda been getting a bit annoyed with the mini lately, driving it every day in and out to the airport and had started using the girlfriends car instead! It had been sitting outside the house for a good while with a few issues that i had to get sort...

Thanks guys, it was found this evening still in Bray.
Haven't seen it yet but apparently both doors are all bent and
locks are busted, and electrics jammed! Clutch/gearbox was acting up
before hand so think they must of just dumped it cos they couldn't
get any gears just a bit annoyed!

Just to let you all know that my mini BRG 91D3913 Cooper was stolen
possibly last night, (Xmas night) from Bray.
Could I ask ya's just to keep your eyes peeled!
Thanks!

Go on, give us a look!!

Are ya able to get the Carbone Lorraine pads for 8.4" setup?
Where ya getting them? Mini spares dont seem to have them!

Anyone wishing to travel from Dublin,we will be meeting in Carrickmines retail park at 9.00 and leaving at 9.30 sharp to arrive in time for the start.I know this is an early start but the reason being is that it means that we should have daylight for the return trip home.If at all possible could me...

Saw this earlier, lovely clean car!! Some wider wheels would look the buisness!!

Hey,
Many heading along to this? Have my mini back on the road after my new engine build,
and wouldn't mind a run. Certainly not a contender for economy but just want
to get out for a spin! Might head along anyway!

Cheers armo, old engines getting tucked away for a possible future project, or
until their hard to get and worth a few quid

macker wrote:is that a solid state flame thrower coil?
if it is i'd think about changing it a little down the line

Hey Macker, the coil is aldons flame thrower 3.0ohm road going coil,
their 1.5ohm coil is their race/rally only coil!

Well at long last its on the road, been a long time waiting!!! Big thanks to Bert for all the help and annoying questions!! Its heading up to Llyod in the morning for him set up the carb and the timing, Really happy with it, plenty of poke! http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s309/andrewl46/ca1b2a09....

Also meant to say what a great thread, had never looked into it before,
excellent build, the GTM's not really my cup of tea but yours is looking really well,
similar engine spec to my own. Looking forward to seeing it out and about!!

what's with llyod and the manifold heat wrap neil??

StevenR wrote:Good man Sid. I'm looking forward to seeing this go. Should have no problem chewing up a particular zv tech.

wouldn't really call that thing a v tech, there's more oil blowing out the exhaust than anything else!!!!

Off Paul hickey, not the easiest things to come by either!!

The Marcos Graveyard wrote:What is your running in procedure ?

The engine had already been run in as such, it was an ex rally engine.
Short block was left intact for the build!

Well at long last my new engine is almost ready to go in, took a bit longer than i had hoped, did plan to go on the MTM. Will just have to wait till next year!! Hopefully will have it in at some stage over the weekend. :lol: Cant wait to get it out for a spin!!! http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s3...

Never seen it in Ireland
