My Mini Cooper!

[ldsbeaker]

Here's a really shitty pic of mine.



Obviously, I'm working on it.

It's a 92/93 frankenstein, (titled 76 by montecarlo minis, thank you very much). Used to have AC, EFI, etc., but someone decided to put a carb'd 1275 in it. Up until about 6 months ago, it still had the EFI gas tank and pump, ALONG with a mechanical pump. Both were hooked up. I got a new tank and put a facet pump under there.
The ONLY thing that I don't like about it? Automatic.

Almost bought one today but the guy didnt have his mini registered in the states and I thought if I bought it I would have had huge problems with the DMV. Bummer too cuz the price was right and the mini was pretty clean.
Still on the hunt.



ps. thanks monzon for ALL your awesome help!

I'm thinking of doing a mini General Lee... :up:

Can anyone point me toward a good guide to tune an SU carb?

and here's a random one I spotted at the mall one day with a pink anodized grille.


It was horrible, but in a "so bad it was almost cool.. almost" way.
