| Texmex |
eh thought I would post some pics up im a bit board.
a little about my car. its a Rover mini it has the latest installment of the 1335cc engine(1275 with a 60 bore) twin SU carbs. straight cut gear box, road rally cam, and a ton of other goodies.
for ice i have a 10w6 Jl sub with a A1400 jl amp. i threw a CB radio in it for kicks, and i plan on getting some nice bucket seats.
at the moment its my daily driver but i still consider it a project, lots i want to do. i would like to do some performace rallies with it, but at the moment just Rally X and TSD rallies.
so heres pic

Fuck'n cool man:thumbup:
I miss my mini:( but it might come back to life this summer if I get off my ass and put it back together. A well warmed 1380 with a weber 45 makes it a killer.
love the old school,
and watch out for big trucks:mad:

you should be baggin the car for a motor break in to insure the rings seat accordingly. looks great though. |

Are you sure that's a proper break-in method? Or, Just the one you believe in?

You could always call laskey racing if you disagree....I am assuming this this a fresh internal motor? if not and it is just a swap then i wouldn't recommend it. If it is freshly rebuilt then bag it from the first start up. |

Again... Just an opinion...
I've done both... Didn't make a difference either way... |
