TBH I am still amazed how quiet the feckin thing is.Mmmmm V8
Just looked up an old thread for someone else and it might be that I haven't started it since 2018 0r so.
Bloody amazed it started without a lot more work.. And I deffo haven't put any fresh petrol in since then.
Still totally amazed.
But God is it mouldy inside., even though under a tarp. Condensation is a reet bugre.
Only ever bought it as a project. Will I ever get the time and have the physical ability to get it sorted? Age is such a bugre.

Wot you planning to do to it? Supercharge? Chip toon? Or summit more basic, like sticking a V8 innit?
Its turbo charged already, it has a fancy induction kit which gives up to 20bhp
Contacted a chap who has a engine with over sized pistons that leaves bigger turbo,
upgrade the actuator spring,intercooler/sports cat & my mate will remap it
just spoke to him we think we could get near 400 lbft of torque. May need to throw a
better clutch in it. I will have it mapped so its running bigger power when the sports
button is pressed.

I can only think of what that sort of power would have been like in my old skool Mini! Feck off mad!Its turbo charged already, it has a fancy induction kit which gives up to 20bhp

Can't help but think that a supercharger would give more immediate power but then with that much under your right foot, who gives a fuck!
You'll need feck off wide tyres to keep the wheels from spinning all the time! Hope the gearbox/diff can take it.
Deffo a track car now!

Oh it does rumble, very nicely, but very quietly. Then it's got two cats on it etc etc. Only know this cos I looked under it to see where the starter was in case I needed to give it a clout with an ammer. (S reg)
Really REALLY must get all the feckin DIY finished so I can play with it, as well as all my other projects.

A lovely brigh and sunny morning with a rapidly disappearing white carpet. It looks a bit nippy though. How my K9 can enjoy lying out there at this time in the morning I will never understand.
Don' forget, it's Friday!

Morning All
A slightly late start as we woke at the same time and had a cuddle.
Brilliantly Sunny day here, cool @ 3° though.
Have a great day!

Indeed, it is one of the best fettled ones I have seen on here.Yep, tomorrow is the day I move into the big league
They are so "effortless", you will love it I think.
A bit of "well-earned" luxury does the spirit good.
