My Mini Resto by minimk1

6 minute(s) of a 266 minute read

drove my mini today , as it is my 17th birthday, had great fun and cannot wait to get out again will be amazing when i pass my driving test.

small update from friday as i repaired the area damaged by my old petrol cap which was leaking   but a flat back and spray got the job done and you would never know it was repaired , also cleaned my car inside and out and thought i would get some pictures up of the finished product seeing as i actually don't have many on here

masked up more than this but i didn't get a picture as the clouds looked moody

then the finished repair 

looks like there are streaks in the paint but i assure you there isn't, this is just a reflection of me when i was taking the picture

now some of the clean finished car 

some at night

Went to the rolling road yesterday and my car produced 50bhp at 5000rpm, I turned up with around 30 as my fuelling was way out and with the timing and fuelling sorted I gained an extra 20bhp and the drive home was amazing

My spec is

Std a series 998 block
Std pre verto gearbox
Std 998 head (with the main combustion chamber restriction removed, by me)
Duplex timing chain
Mg metro cam
Alloy inlet manifold
Hiff 38
K and n air filter
Aau needle
Maniflow manifold
Works cooper s exhaust

I got a video of one of the runs but the fan belt snapped meaning the run had to be stopped

No I don't have any however this picture shows what I have done perfectly, the picture is for a 1275 head but the principal is the same

Fitted my std airbox recently and drilled some holes in the bottom of it and added a k and n element, this along with my new maniflow lcb makes the car so much quite inside, makes it run so much better and more economically and also makes the exhaust note a lot more raspy!!

Also i think it looks a dam site nicer than the k and n, and reallytidies it up
