having problems with mine
one of the lights went off, so i bought and fitted a new one. within 3 days the new one is doing the same so there must be a problem with the wiring.
so at the moment im driving around with one light on at night(altough im mostly avoiding it where possible)

Saw this mini at the recent Autosport show in Birmingham they replace the engine with one from a Suzuki GSX 1300R hayabusa making them extremly quick as you can imagine
Posted by Dicky Snapples
cool!
my dad put a 7ltr mustang engine in a mini when he was younger.
it went stupidly fast, but it made it so heavy it couldnt turn
he set a record at his local race track though

i'll be working on mine tonight.... distributor cap needs adjusting/replacing i guess.... (well fingers crossed)!
i love that car.....when it starts! lol!
im guessing you fixed that bump you had then dicky?
Posted by Dicky Snapples
the fix i posted above was for my lights, its in the garage at the moment getting the bump fixed. should hopefully have it back tomorrow!

You know, it's only a ballhair off it...actually that Hyabusa mini is minted, loving the old-school oute door hinges and it looks like it's been de-seamed (expensive and a pain in the arse but looks great) i would love a toy like that, gorgeous and rapid! My mini is looking worse for wear these days, this pic is a year or 2 old now, there's rust coming through the doors and one of the front spotlights has come off.

Posted by leeboy13

Posted by leeboy13
mini's now booked in for 7:30 tomorrow morning
shammmooooonnnn! she 'should' i rerpeat, SHOULD be running sweet as a nut after this weekend!!!!
i polished my bumpers dicky..... by heck they look sweet!
Posted by Dicky Snapples
sweet! post some pics when you get a chance!
if had hell with mine today! decided to put the wide wheels back on, all when well till the last nut on the last well. the bar steward wouldnt come off!! no matter how hard i tried!! got it off in the end, only took 3 hours !
also had the damage repaired on the front(finally!) and now have my spots on (finally!!)
will post some pictures tomorrow! (was going to post them today until i ran into trouble with the wheels!)
Posted by Dicky Snapples
Posted by Dicky Snapples
got yours back yet mate?
Mines running fine
and the spot lights are stupidly bright!!
Posted by leeboy13
mint mate!!!!!
they look sweet too, look the same as mine
although mine are on the grill rather than bumper.... loks good tho
mines back, rad fixed..... apprentley my engine has shifted and the mounts are again gone... ive been recommended to get a clamp engine mounting thingy..... because i use mine as my only car....
how was the wiring dicky? on the spots that is? did you get it done yourself? was it easy? i still have my kit in its packed
eeeek!best do that (god knows how tho) i messed the lights up once, would sooner wait till the nights get later lol!
Posted by Dicky Snapples
i got the garage to do it when they fixed my bodywork. i was really that confident that i could do it myself.
apparently it was a right pain in the arse
all i need now is halogen replacements for my main lights!
speaking to my dad he added loads of cool stuff to his, given me loads of ideas.
he had an electronic aerial, he could make it go up and down with the push of a button!

one thing i could do with thinking about it, is new door skins! few patches are appearing at the bottom of the doors
cant afford to spend any more on him for a while though. the last repair cost alot more than expected!
Posted by Dicky Snapples
hows your mini doin mate?
mines still running well

what's the give-away Dicky?

they're called door cards in every other car!
Posted by Dicky Snapples
real john coopers only have his signature on one bonnet stripe

Oh, I didn't disbelieve you Dicky... just thought they'd have the same name as every other car!
Posted by Nanu
What about the price? does it seem reasonable?
Posted by fatreg
for an R reg mini I'd say so Nanu, if you look after it, it will never lose value! 98/R was the last ever year for a real mini wasn't it?
Posted by Dicky Snapples
depending on milage and condition, that is pretty reasonable.
my brother bought one late last year which looked almost identical (it had a large retractable sunroof) and he paid £4000.
