Irish Mini Owners Club

That was my mini once upon a time,
only one Ken elder head in this country. I build it. 92 mini aka bibs thread.

Well hello all,

haven't been on here in ages.

Just seen my mini reappear as a 1966 hmmmmm, she's gotten older in years all of a sudden.

and more expensive too lol.

Someday when i can afford to buy another shell i will do another one.
Anyone got a rolling shell with papers for a good home:)

yeah i have seen that one on the old y tube.

i still think the rx8 engine would do a nice job. anyone gonna give me an rx8 for free to chop up to fit bits into a mini.




it would make for another interesting build thread

any chance you could scan some of the pics up in here

and i thought mine was bad lol
best of luck with resto.

Looking good there nice project.

I'd love to do a rotary engine rear wheel drive conversion. Like from an rx-8 which can be had cheap and already have 190 to 210 bhp standard. And the rotary engine is very small in dimensions. only thing is that the gearbox is probably massive. however i never seen it done so have nothing to go by....

next build i would love to do something like this

Nope.. never had time to do it and needed to clear the garage but should be at the 120+ bhp mark.

don't know where he got 130 form.

No Rev Limiter in the tune either lmao

sure take it for a spin and don't buy it lol.

yeah i noticed that too someone pointed it out to me.

I sold it alright and was assured it would go to a good home.... LOL

I guess someone is trying to make money off my back.

Sold to a nice gentleman,

I wish him the best of luck and many joyful years with it.

cheers CB lets find a good home for it.

Who else is going to the Claremorris one

There is nothing wrong with cars being tested provided they have the resources to deal with it and a clear set of rules for modifications and their tests eg braking mods like disk to drums

You can use the 106 Peugeot coil pack,

They are tight as a fishes hole. Sorry

Turns out that I still have some toe out in the rear as I was in for the NCT today
Mind ye the emissions after my new setup were brilliant without cat 0.47 co and 170 hc
Goes to show that cats are not really needed

Anyone going to it, i got a text at some stage for it but somehow deleted it,
was thinking of going to it on sunday.

right had a chat and test drive today with a friend of mine in my mini. as i still think mine goes sideways way too easy. so there we were driving on some twisty bit of a road while i showed him what i meant by my lift off oversteer problem. Hmmmmm he said while i'm man handling the wheel Mate: Did ...

I'd you check all the fuses first?

Am using a RE13PP cam which has about 272 inlet and same in exhaust lca is 104.5
Dialled in at 102.75.

Right NCT is due so thought i'd get it onto the old test station for emissions, the achilles heel of any tuned / hot mini. http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o685/sascha_hlubek/A5A480E9-90EE-4BD1-ADAF-9B4BFE7F845D_zpsmvgbgg8e.jpg Well i'll be damned i thought my mini has no cat and it would nearly ...

If it's badly seized good old cowboy way was to use hammer and chisel. The nut will be a bin job after it.
