Mines got a 1340 puts out 93bhp apparently.. It will keep up with a Saxo VTR until 70 on acceleration alone but murder it on the bends. It will also do BMW 520d's

minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=ki&pid=38461&sku=0&tc=1#submenuwell ive found the minis treat for payday this month unless i find the parts 2nd hand cheaper its an adjustable suspension geometry kit that will get my wheels how i like them , at the moment the back wheels seme to be on slightly different camber angles and i would like a 1.5 degree on the fronts ,and about 0.8 on the back . So im going to mesure the camber on all four wheels closer to the end of the month and get it all set up properly, going to get new dampers to just to make sure ive coverd everything , im really bored at the moment as i have no bits to get on with on the car grrrrrrr gav Attachments:

well went up to clean the car and take it for a run up the farm lanes behind the house , not on the road obviously as i do not have my licence yet :L haha and it was amazing , i love driving my mini so much and i swear to god i will never sell it , i want to keep it forever.
now that ive lower the back my middle silencer is catching the floor all the time and the exhaughst is hanging really low down from the tunnel , so ive sourced a straight pipe with a twin dtm back box witch im hoaping i can get to fit further up in the tunnel better as there is no bulky middle silencer to govern how high it will sit.
also dose anybody have the gear to set up camber , tracking etc as i am purchasing a geometry kit and dodnt fancy paying my garage even more to fit it than it costs , they are a scam lol
cheers gav
