Cheers chaps, I'm rather pleased with myself. I've done a few mechanical bits and bobs before but nothing quite as epic as a full car rebuild. Chuffed with the outcome!

Just SC drops for now, I don't intend on going for mad boost with it still being a everyday car.

If you use the car as a road car you may find SC drops a bit on the loud side.

I doubt I'll be to bothered by the SC noise tooo much (He says that now....). I've been in a few SC mini and not been to phased by the noise, I find that cruising at speed the noise is overcome by the rumble from the exhaust. That an the mini won't be my daily car for long, I'm on the lookout for a cheap runabout so I can keep the mini in the garage until sunny days and shows etc.

Just got to find a way of flushing all the crud out my engine now. A hell of a lot came out with the oil, so hopefully there can't be much more in there. Although I'm sure there will be. |

I'm taking my gearbox up to Benross friday, need a hand fitting my x-pin diff so I'm sure he will give it a once over and spot any problems if there is anything a miss.
