Re: Pink mini project
Thanks, will have a look tomorrow and check that, the shoes are new possibly just the pictures but will do no harm to check and make sure rather than head scratch at a later stage

Re: Pink mini project
As an aside the pop out windows were taken off the donor pink car and have the UK reg from it etched in. Other than re-etching does any one know if this can be removed?? It's the sort of thing that will set my OCD off.

Re: Pink mini project
Lot more progress on the last visit almost at the finish line now. Can't praise Chris in WMR enough the work and time he has put into this car could never be paid for. Nice to see all the new bits go on, it's the small bits like new nuts and bolts and screws, and all new rubbers and grommets that ma...

Re: Pink mini project
The mini rose was white with a pink roof, it had a slightly darker version of this colour. Not my thing but it's not for me the other half loves it. Have to keep resisting temptation to buy nice bits for it like adjustable arms and coilovers

Re: Pink mini project
So a few delays along the way, and a new baby on the way meant the mini was sidelined for a while, but it's back on track now and should be finished by next week. http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o580/bevanbrady11/DSC_1748_zpsx3rv2af3.jpg http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o580/bevanbrady11/DSC_...

Re: Pink mini project
Thanks that's what I had hoped for, was trying to go more classy than tacky looking for her. The roof isn't actually old english white it's a Vw colour from the old 21 window vans, as it was a more creamy white. It might be a little too off white but can always be painted a more bright white in time...

Re: Intro to me and my secret project with a 5 month deadlin
Seen as it's no longer a secret and we are way over 5 months would one of the admin mind changing the title if they spot this.
I suppose to something like Pink Mini Project etc?

Re: Intro to me and my secret project with a 5 month deadlin
So the Wedding has come and gone, we had a fantastic day, and thoroughly enjoyed it but the Mini just didn't make it. Not anyone's fault but it just wasn't to be, all the parts were ordered and in place but time wasn't on our side. So with Honeymoon etc taken, the Mini is back on the agenda again, r...

Re: Rolling road day??
Purely power runs and a graph, or advice on the day for gains and set up? Should have the other halfs mini for this. But would be nice to get some advice (for a fee) on how to coax a bit more power out of it.

Re: Intro to me and my secret project with a 5 month deadlin
Haven't updated this at all lately but I will have a big picture update soon. It's almost done. It's by no means a cheque book build but I bought WAY!!! more than I originally envisioned for it, so it should be finished to a really nice standard. My mate is in Japan for the next few weeks and I have...

Re: 1.5 roller rockers are they worth fitting with a stage 1
I might look up the guy that did the head in my saxo vts track car and see what he would charge.
At some point in time I would like to build a mini for myself but I might not go A series so it would be nice to have one for the other half with a more faithful to the originals tuning set up

Re: Minis in the Auctions In Japan
Found the holy grail in the auctions tonight. I even talked the other half into letting me chance a bid. I won't win it I haven't enough on it but it's the first one I have seen at auction in 10 years and only the 2nd in 15 years. http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o580/bevanbrady11/hmt5HRRP7dWH9hi...

Re: 1.5 roller rockers are they worth fitting with a stage 1
Any idea what cost is involved in going to stage 2 or 3, as in do you have to go with uprated or larger valves and do the tappets and springs etc also get changed.
I'm based in Wexford but I have heard of a rally man around Gorey that's meant to be very talented with head work.

Re: 1.5 roller rockers are they worth fitting with a stage 1
I have a track car that I had the head polished on and a 4 branch and the difference was huge so I would be really tempted to get the head flowed and ported a little. I have been used to modern jap stuff for a while where power gains are cheap to start then gains have massively exponential increases...

Re: 1.5 roller rockers are they worth fitting with a stage 1
I was talking to Chris in Waterford Mini Resto's, he is doing the work on the car. He reckoned for now to leave well enough alone, that it will have enough poke for her and given that the list of parts I was buying was growing every day maybe it's no harm for a while to leave off it's not a blank ch...
