Irish Mini Owners Club

Have a look at the Acewell range of head units.

SOLD

It's rated at 650kg capacity so can take a fair load. It runs 12" wheels too
It has rear support steady legs which would make it very stable when unhitched.

Some of you may have heard that one of the traders at this years IMM had a bit of a mishap on their journey to over when the timing chain on their car went near Longford, the engine is beyond economic repair an so the car has to be scrapped. The trader, Bart from Holland, got his stuff down to Westp...

The 3.44 diff does roughly 17mph per 1000 revs on 12" wheels.
Some Metro City and L models came with a 3.6 diff which would be closer to 16mph/1000rpm.

Just caught a glimpse of a white/cream Mini heading out the Howth road in Killester yesterday mid morning.

Get a lift with someone, get the bus, bring a non Mini (you just need to park it in the Non-Mini area).
IMM is really about the weekend, Friday to Monday, the Sunday Show will let you see the cars but it wont give you an idea of what the IMM is about.

Tickets are per person.

Just to note that the ticket price goes up from the 17th of March, which is just over 3 weeks away !!

I can do all for you, have all the correct Churchill tools to do the job.

Great wheels move slowly Dave.

Will be following with interest.

Yup.

"JJ" is only a reference to the wheel edge flange profile.

Mervyn Johnston in Tullyhommon, Co. Fermanagh always does good work, 50+ years in the business, still rallying a Cooper S.

You'll probably want to look into a Vernier Duplex timing chain, uprated clutch and diaphram as well as a cross-pin diff.

I'd suggest you get yourself a copy of Tuning BL's A Series Engine by David Vizard, it has everything you need to know about building a good usable motor.

There is more to engine building than just reboring the block.

If you go the Weber route you will have to modify the bulkhead and fit an air box. In my opinion you would be better off with a HIF44 with a good K&N filter and a stubb stack. The 266 is a fairly mild cam, possibly more suited to a smaller engine, I'd be going for a 276 or 286 instead depending ...

Great story and fantastic photos.

We did a very similar trip 25 years ago, 7 guys in 2 Minis and a Reilly Elf.
We did the champagne and the GP lap as well

If you are retaining the standard engine (cam/head/carb/manifold) then there is no need for any change from the standard dizzy. Unless you are going to mod the engine you won't need anything more than the standard dizzy is going to give you. Only map-able ignition and a rolling road will give you pr...

Might be worth a detour to Luxembourg to fill up for the return journey

Could throw in a sneaky lap of Spa on the way

I would always place the axle stands so the V is either side of the tails on the front Subframe.

Hi Shane and welcome to the forum, I sorted out your photo for you, dropbox isn't the easiest for photo sharing on this forum, but if you want to use it you can, you need to right click the image you want to post and copy it's actual web address and then post it using the IMG tags in the body of you...

Totally agree with you Billy.
