WEBER TWIN carb's give's wide range of power and SPAX Adjustable Shock's gives good handling at top speed.it fitted with 200 km/h speedo meater @ middle of the dash board. i bought all the Sticker's from japan and as well as all the door handles. check the snaps and enjoy..... comments are welcome....

It's a 1380cc modified engine so it must be with a modified gear box, or else it effect to da gear ratio.And another thing normaly turning circle of da normal mini is 9.60 M in mine it's 9.75 M so it's with a Modified Rack too.

Thats awsome motor you got mate.Get us more pics please.Turn radius figures affected possibly due to changes done on wheels.

John Cooper, machang, I presume these to be 13' wheels. Where did you source the tyres for these rims?

My manager is doing up a Mini to run alongside his Defender and he has got the 13' deep dish alloy but having problems finding the right tyres.

Help appreciated.

Miniace: macho you might know him (the lone Defender on your Mini club drives)

Yes macho he is. Been tyre hunting even before the vehicle is running ;)

Am also on the fence to do up a mini that is within my budget. Not a brand new but something that has been neglected for close to 20 years at my Grand Mothers place.... hehe... But it will be built to original spec if I start off no fancy stuff.

Well you can bet his will be good. He's Defender is one of a kind, so has his ex Mini.

What price you expecting on the Yokohama's?
