I'm going to pull the G13B out of my mini to change some of the seals and repair a hole in the sump. Whilst it's out what other stuff should I change?

At this stage I'm doing the sump seal, the diff seals and the engine mounts.

Make sure you've got the best gearbox you can get.

Timing belt?

Timing belt / water pump if they are nearly due.
Check how much life you have left in your clutch while you have it all out.

Thanks for the replies.

Timing belt is an excellent idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I was talking today about it with mates at work.

It already has a turbo. T25. I was thinking of downsizing the intercooler. But I know bugger all about injection and turbo cars so I'll leave it for now.

And a water pump too. I have found it really hard to buy spares for the injin. The Suzuki and Holden dealers do everything by VIN code now.. I don't have a suitable VIN code.
