ZTH MINI Club!

[volvo740modified]

gharith, whats wrong with your 1000 engine ?? some said the 1000 is more agile than the 1.3 yet no doubt 1.3 power is more..I hv even come acrossed some vateren mini owners had decided to change to 1000cc from a 1.3. I am also new here and just started to get my mini working. I had made a wrong decision over mix and match engine parts for my mini, anyway I am still not loosing hope on it....

Well the 1.3 is just an idea that's been playing around in my head the past 2 months. I just want to push my pocket rocket a bit quicker. While i was studying in OZ I had a friend who drove a 1.3 KAD modified Mini (about AUD15k sepnt on it) and the car was pushing over 212BHP and was fragging pretty much everything on the road cept the monster Rexes... My problem is that parts to push my mini faster than it's going at the moment is 1, really hard to find and 2, expenssive...

Thnaks DF9818, will be calling up one of these friends before the exhaust work start.

gharith, good luck for the hunting. Is your mini now using front disc break ?? 10" or 12"...I heard the 10" one is very costly...easily RM1.0K ??? true or not

 

[mini clubman DF9818]

walau 212 bhp...............
i oso wan...........
but 15k AUD change to RM is how much arr???

 

[mini clubman DF9818]

volvo,

ur welcome.................
make it custom made a set of exhaust la........
start from manifold until box..........

 

[gharith]

For the front I'm currently using 10" discs to run my 12" rims. The rear is still drum. According to my mechanic he suggests I keep the drums unless im going over 120BHP so that's not going to change yet for the time being... Yeah he quoted me abt 900-1000 for the 10" conversion...

As for the conversion from AUD to RM i think its abt 2.5-2.8 depending on the exchange rates for the day.

I'll link the KAD site for u guys... Enjoy :)

thanks for the advise DF9818, I have just order the piping from manifold down to end, to choose what exhaust only. Will fo that at the last stage.

gharith, I am temporaly plan to run on drum as per standard pump, let see how good it can go. I have decided to run on a 10" rim, I hv bought a set of 10" 6J Cosmic rim. Now working on the painting job, and to send for triming. I may consider to upgrade to 10" Disc later if the current break system not up to my std.
