IMHO Mini spares 7.9 vented, I have fitted all three types the Mini Sports ones are just junk and unsafe IMO, there is No difference in the braking effort given by the KAD's over the Mini Spares, Its also interesting to note None of the Miglia cars in the UK run KAD they all run Mini spars or WillWo...

34 valve head you numpty lol

Thanks for all the nice complements, I would just like to thank Maxi for giving me the opportunity to do this project there has been a steep learning curve on it which Maxi has been very patient trough but I am very happy with the end result, The gearbox an clutch setup has just been fitted and tomo...

That Is the Block casting number for a Small bore A engine If the Head has a casting number 12G295 then you have ider a 997 or 998 cooper engine if the head is 12A----- then you have a standard 998 or 1100 A series engine. If I was you I would chuck the Cam belt kit and fit a standard timing chain s...

Don't forget Buddy Its with in your rights to have the damage independently assessed before a right off can be made

[quote="just_st3v3n"]unlike a lot of people going bigger im going smaller :wink: the engine and box i have in mind only weighs around a mere 65 kgs... :lol: can ya guess what engine it is yet?? il give ya a clue, its japanese and its only got 3 cylinders ..... :?: steven[/quote] Hmm a smal...

Unless your putting a motor cycle engine in you wont be saving any weight, the Honda, starlet,vauxhall and the k series conversions all add between 200 and 350kg to a mini, the only motorcycle engine the works out the same weight as the a sreies is the R1 but when you fit the diff and extra suport s...

3.5K but you only broke a ball joint how the hell can they charge that

I'll give him a pm stan I know somone looking for one,
you can't change them straight to carb as thy have no place for a dizy so you would also have to fit mapped ignition

No good to you stan the injection system is completely different and will only work with all the kit from the orignal car the ECU won't even switch on with out the orignal imolizer from the car the ECU came from

All mine are Named after the Knights Of the Round Table as there all Warriors lol

Get a charged battery or jump leads on him and then test and as Gareth says make sure you have a spark a simple test to see if it is just a fuel issue is take of the air cleaner and poor about 3 table spoons of raw petrol into the throttle boddy press the throttle and crank the motor if it starts th...

Happy New Year all and keep up the good work

Yes some of the late SPIs it think from 94 on had Immobilize I guessed it might be your problem,
there simple enough to bypass when you turn the ignition on does the fuel pump run ?

Stick your head in the boot and get a mate to turn the key to the crank position.

No need Adain, some of the racers are on cross drilled 7.4 disks, I however would not recomend green stuf there complete rubish IMHO, DS2000 or mintex 1144.

I have a spair know good spi ecu I use for testing if you need a lone give me a shout but I doubt it's your problam
regards
Paul

dont forget Mark that the engine has to come out an be striped to fit a cam, the cylinder head will also need work as well as valve geometry to see any power increce,

I have fitted one of these SC ECU it is a neet piece of kit and worked well with the mods I done to the engine,

Paul.

Impossable if you are going to replace the engine, front and rear susspension with Honda Civic parts !

how do you plan to make that road legal ?

A VTEC will put the tin hat on that all right.

that lambda reading sugests it is running lean I would doubt the cat is your problem,

what year is the car ?

[quote="joe f murray"][quote="Merlin"][quote="joe f murray"]id say its timing all right but i would suggest you get it done right cos my engine was running fine when i built it but after a few weeks started making noise . turns out cos the timing was so far out it done ...
