no, they'd both have 1250/1300cc engines, except i'd probably swap the turbo one in everytime a trackday comes round

the one i might be buying, there is no back seat - the front ones are situated exactly in the middle of the car (so pretty much on the back seats almost)Originally Posted by whiteballz

if i were you i'd get everything running good and then consdier a supercharger etc... to be honest i don't really think forced induction is that necessary

it's been a while i know since i have added onto this thread but hey better late than never......
the mini is still in its current state body wise (i have moved away from home since i picked it up and havent had the time and or the money to work on it....damn university lol) but i have made some progress on the engine and the brakes and such
it now has brakes.....lolwell front ones at least and they do pull me up when i need them (also anybody who ones one and needs to replace the brake cylinders send me an e-mail to find out a really easy way to get the shoe springs back on.... they are buggers of things otherwise) so i dont need to use the hand brake any more (trust me my mother is very happy about that, she thinks its safer....lol)
the carbi has been fully re done.... that was a big problem with it i found... it wasnt tuned right and the shaft and the buttafly where quite stuffed in it.... also something interesting... my local SU expert (or so he says) said that he had never seen one quite like it, interesting, but i figure because of the late build date on it and the fact that leyland where in a bit of trouble they just picked up whatever was on the floor.... so to speak.
i have all new wheels and tyres on it ready for when it has all the rust taken out of it... which i have been doing some research on.... they say around $5000 for the rust.... i nearly cryed when i saw this and almost scraped the car..... but after some more research i have founs that it is a little rare and worth doing up.... so we will have to wait till uni is finished (yes that does mean 4 years wait) to get it done. oh well....yes. hopefully more pics will be up soon if not before the end of july! thats when i am home next
i tell you what the brits know how to get you thinking about restoring a car... man they make it hard and fidly lol
