BMC never made bonnets like that

But yeah, looks great.

is it just me or is the scoop slightly off center? personally i'd move the intercooler and get that centered rather than having a scoop hanging to the right (from the occupant's perspective)

Well....if you want to be techimical....it's a Rover so not BMC. You don't recall the Rover mini that came fitted with a bonnett scoop? Limited run they were, out of a lounge room/garage in NZ somewhere, very rare.

Yer that looks horrible.
I'd definitely look at NOT having something like that.
Personally.

I'd go clubby if worse comes to worse.
:twisted:

Another Q...... DO clubbies HAVE to have a bonnet scoop for TMIC?

The scope is offset and that is because the factory intercooler is not centre of the mini.

Personally i like it, it looks different.

holy fark...what rims are they?

i really have to catch up on the 4efet threads.....

the 4eftes.....are they cable clutch or hydralic clutch?

4eftes are better over g13b's as they dont do gearboxes everytime you try to give it a hard launch...ask any swift gti owner...the boxes are brittle!

blake :wink:

yeah i figured that would be the reason...i'd move the IC into the center if it was mine

or just take the IC off the top altogether and go a liquid-air barrel IC like bara did...

Suzy boxes are the weak link though not as bad as you make out

i know people who havent had a problem just cant do heaps of burnouts and flat shifting 1st to second

i mean really if you drive it on the road and in a reasonable manner then shouldnt be a prob

and the other thing is the standard suzuki box and barina box bolts on and has a better final drive for a mini anyways soo cheap parts and boxs available
