Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
its designed and buils by BMW it should handle good
they allso have cooper S kits for them dunno if youres has a compressor but the kit includes some stuff to change the fuelmap manifolt pressure troathier exaust and a few other things i realy like those retro cars but at this moment there still way outside my pricerange i drive a 1st generation smart fortwo myself , its kindah slow but light (good milage and low taxes ) my 6.7 frame fits in it the doors are big so i dont have to turn myself intoo a pretsel to get intoo the seat or out like i had to in my mercedes 190 and it has electric everything , its all i need the biggest downside to cars made by BMW is the cost of maintanance and parts , you can do maintanance youreself but its hard to reset the service light unless you have the propper gismo for it they realy want you to have there servicepoint work on it and chare you an arm and a leg for it |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
This Mini is an S, which means it does have a Turbo. It kicks a$$, and handles like a go cart. Being that it's a 2014 and a lease it has 36 months of free services. I don't have to pay a dime, plus get a free rental car if I need it. Also has a 4 year warranty. :metal:
So we love it, and will probably buy it at the end of the lease. We just ordered new custom plates for it. R MINEEE |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
57 is looking Sweet!:metal:
I haven't driven the new Mini Coopers, but back in the mid 80's I was stationed on a little island off the coast of Portugal and drove a local's Mini a bunch... it was alot of fun, but the old wore out 4cyl probably was lucky to put out 50hp...:lol: Fun nonetheless!!! Have fun!!! |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Wish I could fit in one of those... but I am the opposite of mini. :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Got to do some work on the left side. The hardest thing is to do exactly the same as the right side. :uhmk:
So far it's looking the same. https://scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...89962390_n.jpg https://scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...60719339_n.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Brought the MINI in the Shop to paint the Calipers Red, and the Rotor Hubs black. Big improvement from the Silver and Grey hubs. :metal:
