Classic Mini (non BMW content)

[E30Kaiser]

Me and my friend are looking at buying a Mini van or countrymen or whatever it is with the ambulance doors in the back. My friend's shop was repairing a Mini-truck for this lady who was going to pay them with the van, but since they aren't going to work on the truck anymore we are just thinking about buying the van anymore, even though I would prefer the truck lol.

This year, I'm going to go even lower, new stainless exhaust (need smaller exhaust to go lower), and probably something more.

I'm facing the same problem on my jetta. Oil pan is clear by about a cig box on its side but the exhaust is just a few cm off the ground.

looks good. k20 swap?

I was thinking about it, but there is no way in hell it's going to be street legal here, so no. I may turbocharge it, but it's a shit engine, and it wont last long

dammit! I'm taking the mini out and giving it a wash and proper photoshoot, there are too many others popping up!!

hehe, I'm gonna go with the k1000 head swap... mmmm BMW powa!!

I'll trade you straight up. Mine's BRG and RHD. No zeemax kit.

kidding. How do you like the Hi-lo's? I've been thinking about going that way.

I have a K100 head available, and I'm considering it, but I need money for my E30 atm.. Hi-Lo's are awesome. The car is stiff as hell, but it's so fast in the corners. And everytime I drive with a girl, she's having a "crisis" due to all the vibrating from the stiff suspension and Norway's shitty roads :D

Alright. Here she is. 1275 motor, Cooper S brakes, hi lo coils, headers, exhaust.

Looks awesome!

I'm guessing you're talking in norwegian currency. So you paid about $2800 USD for it; I would do it in a heartbeat. Those things are near impossible to find around here.

Yeah, 'cause if I payed $17 000USD I would be insane.........
$17 000USD for the Mini.
Cars are insanely overpriced over here. :???:

I was just hoping it wasn't USD so I could move to Norway and instantly buy a Mini. What you paid is about the average price in the US for a clean Mini.

More pics please. :D

You can get cheap ones, but most of them are rusted to pieces.

God damn those things are sick. So much nicer than that new pile they call the mini.

Well, if you decide to do it, I have the writeup from specialist components.
Throw me a couple ducets, and I'll make a copy forya.
