You can find a lot of stuff at http://www.minisport.com/ for the classic Mini and Bini.

You should prob try getting Mini Magazine too, it's full of ads for all kinds of stuff.

i have bought mini magazine 2 days ago

Also looking for a classic Mini here !

Only I'm less of a project more of a very,very little to no work guy

Just one question from me, slightly related. What are the advantages & disadvantages of an LCD display ? How accurate are they ? How much am I looking at for a slightly decent model ?

Cheers !

personally i think a lcd display looks better and offers more than traditional clocks

in my opinion several gauges give much more information that an lcd display, lcd displays are good if room is tight like in a single seater but for most other situations a set of gauges will be easier to go to and find out much more detail

Loads of companies make LCD displays, Pi, Motec, AIM, Stack, Momo, 2D, GEMS. They all come at a cost of between approximately £1000-3500 for a basic display.

Most are not a road legal replacement of your dashboard though because they do not have an odometer, or any of the useful indication lights (lights, indicators etc.). The cost of adding these would be enormous so you'd have to keep the original speedo.

There are a few LCD displays designed for rally use that are fully road legal, the cheapest LCD displays are about £500 (try Race Technology) or Stack make an analog tachometer with LCD readout strip in one neat enclosure for about £900, and I think they offer a road legal option.

That's some useful info there! Thank you, those road legal LCD displays look very nice. If I can save up the pennies I may consider getting myself one! Essentials first however.

Another one of these projects that never got finished.

hi just been reading my mini magasines while ive been away and ineed help what are ports because i saw a 7 port engine and a 8 port racing engine what are they?. please dont get technical

The ports are just the holes in the cylinder head that the fuel/air mixture and exhaust gases flow through.

The A series has a 5 port head, 2 for the fuel/air mixture and 3 for the exhaust gases.

Check Mini Mag 157 (March 2009), there's an article in it about performance cylinder heads.

just found a place in pilling preston that has around 300 minis on site at various stages from shells to otr going to check it out asap
