1975_mini Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 Many of us use the cold winter to do some upgrades to our MINI/Mini. What projects do you have planned. I got these goodies delivered to my doorstep from Britain today. Last year was full drivetrain swap, this year is just a fresh up of the suspension 2 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
ClassicMiniMayfair Posted December 13, 2019 Report Posted December 13, 2019 Just did the brakes (drilled and slotted w/ green stuff pads) from Mini Sport USA. Started the coolant flush and going to run it for 3-6 hours or a few days worth of driving. About 200 miles or so (after the break-in coating is gone) will be the bed-in procedure to get it stopping nicely. 2
GotMINI Posted December 21, 2019 Report Posted December 21, 2019 Hi Corey, on the verge of taking Otis in to install a Sprintex Supercharger with a Dyno Tune. This is the last step in my process. I have already had the engine completely rebuilt, all but the crank. It's been a several year process but, at the end, I will have a completely restored 2003 Mini Cooper S. Every system has been gone through. Mini's are Addictive ! Need to find a Meeting !!

Sounds awesome. I am no help on the meeting, I am more of an enabler than a sponsor 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
