This is my new mini. Spec is as follows 1997 mpi sportspack shell 1380 all steel M.E.D turbo engine bmw mini supercharger through modified metro turbo carb mpi gearbox stage 3 booster head Predicted power when run in is around 180bhp at full boost Its currently running about 7-8 psi as the engine has only covered about 90 miles from new. Will pop down loughor friday night to see everyone in my mini as long as it isnt raining. Sorry about pics, will upload some decent ones soon. Link to pic is at www2.propichosting.com/Images/450020887/1.jpgAnd before you ask, yes i did build it all myself from scratch, including all the supercharger mounting brackets and the pulley and tensioner system, and it has a 1 off wiring loom made by me. Has taken about 8 months to build but well worh it. regards jamie @ J&L's......... |

Had a disaster on wednesday night, some idiot (me) forgot to put the bonnet hooks on (doh) and flipped the bonnet up, it is badly bruised but is ok untill my new one is painted. Will be bringing the car along tommorrow night (friday) around 7.30. Here are some pics i took this evening of it. Please note the brown water stain on right hand side of bulkhead after being cooked on the rollers at mosley's garage in llandeilo. Do not take your car there!!!! See you all tommorrow evening.    |

They will be MDF ready to paint or cover or you can have them ready in S/Steel, Carbon or Wood finishes.
Dash will be RHD version of the classic Innocenti with a L/H glovebox, no radio hole as Speedo and Rev counter are in the centre plus 4 extra 52mm gauges.
Centre console will hang down in front of the heater and have flexy ply around it covering the heater. Unlike the 'Custom Comsoles' this will give you more room around the clutch pedal area and not get in the way of your left foot. Plus it'll look the DOGS!!!!

Waiting on pics at the moment, want to get them in MiniWorld (my new friends, have you seen my ad yet - it's next to yours) Dash will be first at it is easier to design and make, just designing in the bend and where it fits around the air ducts for the Console. Will talk with you tomorrow about other products including the bodykits etc.....see my thread on these on 'Chat about anything' section |
