Brand new slotted rotors and green stuff pads.
The old ones were only about halfway gone, but they were squealing like a banshee and I wanted a slight upgrade anyhow. If anyone can use some glazed 8.4" rotors and half dead Unipart pads, come pick 'em up in Bentleigh.

Installed a pair of F2 emulsion tubes into the mini.
It now complements the 266 SS cam and woah it has some kick.

I also removed the cracked windscreen and found out there is rust around the window edges.

A blackbox arrived in the mail! And picked up subframes from powder coaters. Now to get stuck into it!

Not mini related but

Used a old mini spark plug in a honda powered concrete vibrator motor i picked up on the side of the road yesterday

they use the same plug and it started first pull

Heres the same one on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400728328983?redirect=mobile

filled dashpots with 10w-40 oil, created a huge flatspot on acceleration and will now go back to running flashlube as dashpot oil. You live and learn

Try baby oil thats what i run now and runs ok you can get it at woolworths coles or chemists just the homebrand will do nothing fancy

10w-40 in winter?

Got some parts today. A guys project that fell through. Sad for him, great for me.

Blasted and powder coated subframes, moulten rubber cones, hilos, gaz shocks, all new bushes and brake lines, disc swivel hubs with cv's, vented rotors, clutch kit plus other small bits.
Looks like the van is gunna get a birthday.
