honda conversion - 5.3.13
Turbo Mini Forums

He has a few locals now that kick him up the ass!

Had a couple of nice bits in the post arrive.

thanks to turbodave for my alloy front plate and johnk for my k1100 end plate and cam adapters.

ive also made the bit to me welded into my head to clost up the gap at the end.









ive also got a toothed ancillery belt kit that should be on its way this week.

i just need to decide weather to run the honda pulleys i have i go for the SC belt set up.

cost could be the deciding factor there!

what thickness ally did you use for the peice on the head?? the sealing peice i mean.

cool...good to see the engine getting some treatment Andy. :)

ive also been busy on the car this weekend as well.

after paying a stupid amount of money for my carbon dash then finding it wouldnt fit, the only way forward was to cut the end caps of remove material from the middle then fibre glass them back on, which has all been done now.

and the dash is nearly fitting, i just need to make a few brakets up now!







ive also been measuring up for the steering and pedals.

and what im most proud of, my miglia style bulkhead! its only riveted and tacked in a few places at the moment but it looks really good.

looks great! If you want it welded, I'll do it for one of those burgers your dad does!!!!!!!!!!! :)

i cant remeber what thickness off the top of my head. (no pun intended)

its around 10mm

lol jason, i think im ok with the welding, but you can pop over any time for a burger!

welding FOC...want to get this mini done mate!

Tidy job mate.

Nothing ever fits in a mini without some sort of extra work.

Keep up the good work.

Andy ,
What you going to do with that nice carbonfibre dash now uve just glassed the ends up?

May i sugest you flock that bit and leve where the clocks and switches go in carbon.

Miglia style bulkhead looks good tho

Rick

you certainly can suggest that, cos thats what im going to do! im just waiting for the flocking place to get back to me with a price!

Flocking?

Is that somthing to do with bird poo?

Andy, what diff ratio are you going for?

its fuzzy felt!


i will be honest joe im not sure which ratio i will go for yet. no doubt something i will have to look into!

Cool! you gonna have litle animal coutouts stuck to it lol.

I was just wondering on the off chance if you had a spare 3.1 CWP to swap for a 3.44 and some cash.

If you haven't Andy, I'll check that gearbox you gave me.

progress is slow as usual, ive been busy!

i finaly got a bit of a chance to get on the lathe at work and managed to turn the lobes of my cam. it was an absolute PITA but im really pleased with it now its done.



i have finished my bulkhead now its really stiffened up the front end! Im trying to get the body work done so its ready to be prepped for paint as soon as the dry build is done.
