Hi all

Battling with the long 1275E ratios (3rd to 4th being the main culprit) up here in Johannesburg.

Want a close ratio box, GTS would be a good starting point, failing that its importing a new Straight Cut Close Ratio kit from the UK.

Thanks

Sean

The pictures can do the talking.

Hello there,

Apparently I was born to be around minis - Dominique hence the account name. 

Some pics of what I've gotten myself into over the last 18 months. 

My first:

She's older than both my parents being a '72





What I got myself last week, for "spares":



The registration that was supposed to go on the mini but I may just get a new one now..

Hi there,

My first car was a 1100 clubman back in '98, and have owned about 14 other cars since then, but the car I always missed the most, was my mini.

So this year I decided to get me one again...

Cheers,
Fanie.

Hi All. My name is Ken. And I'm a mini-caholic.

Decided that I wanted to see how Gizmo would look with his new wheels as I haven't collected them as of yet to do a proper fitment...

After pic of wheels...

I also had a little play to see how they'd look with the GTS stripes on as well...

Hi all,

So since I fitted the new alloys, the wheels have been sticking out a bit much. I did the VW brake conversion on front and only spaced the wheels out by 12mm. Also took off the rear spacered drums and put on std drums with 12mm spacer. This is the absolute minimum you can space without hitting the caliper and also to keep the wheel nuts from binding on the longer wheel studs. I have the std plastic wheel arches fitted but the wheels still stick out by 30 odd mm. 

I would like to know what the width of the other wheel arches Group 7 etc, are when measured in the top middle. 

Maybe Sean can give an idea?

Hi all

As the advert states.

These were fitted to my 20v project but i recently got hold of set of Mini Spares 4 pot calipers and Vented disks and drive flanges, so this little lot is up for grabs.

NEW 8.4" disks (for 12 or 13 inch wheels)
NEW drive flanges
Fully reconditioned Rover Cooper calipers, sprayed VHT Caliper yellow (come with the remains of the spray can)
NEW EBC fast road brake pads.

I am after R4,900 for this lot.

If the new buyer needs hubs, i can arrange for about R1,00 for a pair.

Thanks

Sean
