Mmmmm V8 ![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
TBH I am still amazed how quiet the feckin thing is.Mmmmm V8![]()
Does it not rumble as a V8 should?TBH I am still amazed how quiet the feckin thing is.
Just looked up an old thread for someone else and it might be that I haven't started it since 2018 0r so.
Bloody amazed it started without a lot more work.. And I deffo haven't put any fresh petrol in since then.
Still totally amazed.
But God is it mouldy inside., even though under a tarp. Condensation is a reet bugre.
Only ever bought it as a project. Will I ever get the time and have the physical ability to get it sorted? Age is such a bugre.![]()
It'll be very inneresting seeing how you do this!![]()
Wot you planning to do to it? Supercharge? Chip toon? Or summit more basic, like sticking a V8 innit?![]()
I can only think of what that sort of power would have been like in my old skool Mini! Feck off mad!Its turbo charged already, it has a fancy induction kit which gives up to 20bhp
Contacted a chap who has a engine with over sized pistons that leaves bigger turbo,
upgrade the actuator spring,intercooler/sports cat & my mate will remap it
just spoke to him we think we could get near 400 lbft of torque. May need to throw a
better clutch in it. I will have it mapped so its running bigger power when the sports
button is pressed.![]()
Oh it does rumble, very nicely, but very quietly. Then it's got two cats on it etc etc. Only know this cos I looked under it to see where the starter was in case I needed to give it a clout with an ammer. (S reg)Does it not rumble as a V8 should?
Only until you wake up and find its Nora BattyIs she the one in the miniskirt and fishnet stockings serving the whisky?
