I got 14.2. It felt crap to be honest but I think I was losing most of my torque through the slipping clutch

Yes I still use them, I've changed them slightly as I've changed my shock mounts, but basicly the same just a few mm longer

wow, I had no idea the car had been built in it's current state (minus the 16v motor) for such a long time!

has it been rebuilt/sprayed since 2005 Jim? or do you just take incredibly good care of it?

the car is simply awesome, it's an inspiration to so many people!

lol, cheers guys,

Not done to much in the car, but when it does get used it gets driven hard, trackdays, 1 mile oval race, fastest mini in the world race, and the mitp, avon each year. Hopefully will get used more next year.

10 years ago I rebuilt my mini for the 2nd time, well now it's time for the next rebuild.
back in 2005 I the aim was a road legal turbo charged miglia. Now the car is not going to be road legal, the aim is the fastest steel bodied mini around brands hatch. This is how the car is now, loaded in the back of the trailer ready for the grinder to make some serious mods. Not sure on what colour it's going to be yet.

I've sold 99% of the old suspension parts so no turning back now. First race in 5 weeks. Full time job, and two small kids so I expect a lot of late nights ahead. Anyone got a credit card I can borrow?
