Different, but you will have NCT issues unless you wire in the original speedo on a covert location.

Re: 93 sprite :P
Really looking well now.
I actually remember this mini around castlebar a couple years ago, it had a an advertising trailer on it. Think it was for some holiday packages company at the time.
I remember it as a mint, beauty of a mini, then you got it and improved it even more and put you're own mark on it, without going overboard or tacky, you've a really nice text book mini there (but then you already knew that!!) .

Re: 93 sprite :P
Thank
Nice to hear good opinions
10s handle like a dream i love them
For the next few weeks it will be tiny adjustments to get the shock right their 50 click adjustable hard to get them comfortable and not having the wheels hitting the archs. Hate hearing the huge bang

Re: 93 sprite :P
Ya, once you've the ride height set on the hi-lo's , it'll take a while to set the dampers.
Just pick a good stretch of road to test them between adjustments.
But really, don't over do it on testing!!! Be care-full all the same and keep safety in mind always, accidents are most likely to happen on testing..................... eager to adjust the shock.................. and forget to tighten the wheel before driving ..............You'd be surprised how often it happens!.
Have seen it many a time, and have been there myself!.
Even at the upper end of the scale of experienced rally drivers like the Great Frank Meagher, RIP , It's easy forget safety in the excitement of testing......... and shure what can happen in a quick run down the road or back the forest.............a lot!!!!
So always take your time, think twice and check twice .
