Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Lund : Mini City

Real quick chop of the photos i had to hand


What do you think

Like the plans? Any ideas? What could i do to increase performance without transplanting any new engines?

These are the arches

I used to race a mini city in the mini stocks champs when i was 14 years old brings back some great memorys that.

Like what you doing dont see many mini's about now days.

Girl i know has one (lou) nice it is to.

im not sure how tunable a 850cc engine is,i reckon it'd be best to go for a carb of some sort,a huge one.Any maybe NOS,other than that,i think ur ****ed for performance,strip it,every couple of KGs lost is equivalent to 1 BHP gained

Ok, lol

Im not to bothered about amazing performance its more looks and no go!


How does a retro cruiser sound?

To me,bad,but then again i dont understand fully what u mean.If u plan goin round in a AM radio only tartan seated mini,then i dont think i like that,if however its gonna be tidy inside but period looking,i like

Its hard to describe it

It will have a period look, ripping out the seats putting new cobra's in and back seat also.

New dash with the centred clock, keeps character!

It will look nice i can assure you

Will look simple and tidy, very straight car...

I cant see myself taking it round
a 'track'

I will post up more pics etc as time goes on. Just getting it on the road is my main concern atm

Thought about the Mini performance wise,

The only things i could really think of is to port polish the manifold, freeflow system, Rc40 exhaust and maybe a twin carb, but that also means twice the petrol used!

Hmm, no thanks but great performance wise ONCE you have got the needles correct!

The 850 engine:

Good points:

Relatively good rev range,
Has a 3.77 FD in there which will help it along,

.........

Ok pics of the stuff I hope to get:

What do you think this time?












Sorry but its the only way of showing you lot what i mean...

And the Smiths dials:

plans sound good, looks like you have it all sorted! you're price looks tiny compared to my bill! think i've spent that already! i do have some group 2 fiber glass arches if your intertessted but they do need a bit of work? just pm me. as for performance if you put a lower final drive in there you could probabily keep up with some 1.1 fiestas or 1.2 corsas lol! when do you expect to have this all finished?

Hi,

Hope to have it done for my 17th this (November 06) :lol:

Ive already driven it... was fun

As for the plans Im not sure its Cruise Wirrals taste But im sure you will all like it when its done

How can i change the FD?

CW doesnt have a "taste" mate,everyones opinion is different,some people love proper in ya face styling,some love jags and range rover,some love performance,and most like any sort of modifiedd car,ur plans sound cool,theyre not "chav" in any way.And this is ur first car so performance doesnt need to be immense,only after about 18 months of driving will you really desire speed,mods look good,that manifold looks reet wierd,never seen a manifold for a 3 cyl before

...Yeah, its definately not gonna be chav!

Ps. Hows tha stickers goin? :cheers: Scoop for the general feedback
