…ahhh a reminder that you’ve spent 15 years spending money mod’ing cars with no end in sight…any news on those JDM cams :wink:

Heres one from 10 years earlier - a road rally mini !

I need parts numbers confirmed ! There are so many different ones its a minefield … Im back in Japan week after next so the quest is hotting up !

I’ve got a Mini sat in the garage not quite finished yet. Spent bout �17k on it so far.

1275 GT, one peice steel flip front, full safety devices cage, was stripped to a bare sheel, sand blasted etc and then built up from new. Theres hardly a single bit i reused. Its all new, new bearings, bushes, brake lines, even fasteners. Has a beam back axle instead of a subframe, alluminium alloy 4 pot callipers on the front, engine rebuilt with all new pumps, timing gear, pistons etc, same with gearbox, new clutch and light flywheel and a quaife LSD. Playmini exhaust and manifold with carbon fibre back box and iv yet to hear the bloody thing start. :frowning:




Think all it needs is a new distributor and the wirring done and its a driveable car. Would just need some finishing touches then, finish spraying it, and bolt all the little bits back on, put windows in etc. Must get round to it.

Lol Andy! - I’m sure I recognise those roads in the second movie!!! :wink:
