Cultist Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) This is my Sporatif. Short term I want to rat it some more and get that right. Long term I want to prepare the chassis for a 5EFTE. Wasn't too happy with it having come from a classic Mini, but with the wheels off an MR2 and Parada Spec 2s it's pretty fun. It's got nothing inside it, the bonnet, tailgate and wings are a work in progress to rust and it's due to be lowered. Replaced the intake resonator with a bottle cap, got an HKS filter but nothing else at the moment.A friend's Morris 1275My sadly departed Mini Edited May 31, 2012 by Cultist Quote

Cultist Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 998 Racing Green, 3.44 final drive with a Cooper Free flow exhaust manifold. Handled like Minis usually do, it was superb. Was sad to sell it but the engine was a bit knackered, 100,000 miles takes a lot out of them and I wasn't able to fix it. Quote
Cultist Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Coilovers, boost and rollcage. All pending a better job! Quote

Cultist Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Some fun roads around here. I deliver pizza in it. It's surprising how much faster, smooth and reliable it is over the old girl, but it's not the same. The things I have done have helped add character and make it quicker, I can hear the fuel pump at traffic lights because the back seats are not there. The suspension is terrible as standard. I actually started being more attatched to it after the sand paper met paintwork, it was just too plain before. I now clean my car with Flash wipes and rainwater! Quote
FreedomCore Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 My first car was a red 1.3i John Cooper. So many good times, was sad to see it go.Yours looks sweet with the wide arches on it. Quote
