My Classic Mini

[CPC]

Hi Guys, just thought I'd share my classic mini with you all, some people love it and some hate it!

It's a 1982 Austin Mini painted in Mazda winning blue pearl with a fast road spec 1380cc engine producing 96bhp so fairly nippy

I like my wheels, but am tempted my swapping the wheels for 10" alloys over winter





It's great fun to drive and only costs £133 to insure fully comp with all mods!.. Over winter I will be redoing the interior and upgrading the suspension.

Yes the 13" wheels do look good, but it's a bit of a handfull over rough surfaces and cambers!, I think smaller wheels with the ballon tyres should help this

Think this works, painted my arches and added a set of 1275 gt style side decals

Coil pack for electronic ignition, distributor is blanked off. Looks like a Megajolt or similar.

Yes its a Megajolt ECU setup, it basically uses a Ford Edis coilpack, a crankshaft position sensor from a Fiesta with a suitable trigger wheel and a throttle position sensor on the side of the carb. You then basically can plug your laptop in and have full control over the engine timing, rev limit and has built in shift light function.

Thanks for the comments

I bought it deseamed and would like to refit the bumpers but dont think its possible as the bumpers fit onto the seem joint?

Just taxed it after getting it out of storage, apart from a jump start it fired up straight away!

Lots of recent work including this box of toys!

new Red Dot cones, Gaz adjustable dampers, HiLo's. I have now replaced and upgraded all of the front suspension and subframe mounts.

I also have these sequential shift lights to wire into the Megajolt


And a few recent pics from a car show



I also have one of those cheap lease deal 208 GTI's on the way!!
