  • I had a classic mini like yours and it made me very much fun to drive it. Unfortunately it was quiet expensive also...... I had always some electric problems with it.....the turn lights did not worked always and also the cd player was a problem, the clutch got to short with time (its grip) and couple anothe little things. It shouldn't be that sensitive this car, especially not if its comes from rover...cus u pay for the name and its quality but where is the quality.....

  • loving the steering wheel

  • can a metro turbo engine be converted to supercharged ?, been looking at the supercharger kits and there reasonable price wise, looking to crack 150hp with it

  • @rs200000000000hi there....

    yes you can force the induction on any engine.....

    the A+ engine can bee boosted up to 150 ish (around 15psi + of boost !) but you must build a strong bottom end first, & then you must have full control of fuelling & ignition systems (advance retard) & a good intercooler intake system, and TBH a 16v or at least a 7 port head should be seriously considered as the std 5 port is the choking restriction on that type of motor....... Good luck... Mark

  • @rs200000000000 Hey up. not sure about a supercharger but you can succesfully turbo charge a mini fairly easily. I have had 180bhp and 175lb/ft of torque from a turbo'ed 1293cc A+ engine with just over 15psi of boost. Important thing is to have an intercooler and get it set up. I suppose the same success can be had with a supercharger with a reduced size pulley. As with everything mini, theres nothing you cant do! oh, a mini with 150-180bhp really moves! especially if you keep it light

  • at first i thought you were track racing and couldnt beat a mini van LOL

  • What kind of steering wheel is that?

  • hi there, the steering wheel that was in the mini is an OMP rally wheel, its swede & around 320mm i think

  • i built it and was bored in about half an hour !

    im a total petrol head & it takes a car with at least 300bhp per ton to raise the heart rate, the A series was not going to provide that......... Japanese engineering is the way to go :)

  • @markustremendus68 Are you mad? How could you be bored of such a great car, especially after what you have done to it. I like it and always love cars that have been converted by people who know what they're doing.

    I also like cars that look plain on the outside but have a really good engine!!!!

    Have you seen the video of the mini with a helicopter jet engine in it?

  • why you sell the monster?

  • Name me the price for the full car.
