My Mini build... - Page 2

Wow!...

Motor fits, WOOT, minor issues with mounts, such is to be expected. Not a fast start, but I'd rather take the deliberate approach and get the thing done right the first time.

Oh, and in typical Mini fassion the axle nuts sent to us were both different sizes.

Happy to have the axles from the motor as the axles from Mini Tec do not come with pot joints. All the boots were in great shape, the one I saw taken off today did not suffer any damage, and the grease was all consistant, no lumps and junk so I am confident that there is no damage in the pot joints.

Lots more to do, but the guys seem to have a general plan in order, and the Mini Tec instal book seems to answer most questions. I have to say they put together a good kit, and as well done manual to go with it.

Now I wonder when I will ever see the exhaust they backordered on me....

Exhaust and last bit to the rear suspension ought to ship tomorrow.

The rest is coming together nicely.

Hope to have some pics available soon.

i`m about to slit my wrists. i don`t know what socket to use anywhere, between mini sizes, honda sizes and whatever they decided to use on the kit, i`m losing my mind.

Welcome to the world of Mini. No 2 jackasses that worked on ANYTHING on ANY one Mini use the same size hardware.

But then you'll need more than 2 cylinders to get it to move.

gritt · 01-27-2007, 03:47 PM

ok, well the engine harness is on and the body harness is out. Lance decided it was time to get rid of all the Lucas wiring, so the front half of the body harness is out and the Painless wiring universal harness is going in.
