price?

tricky question about the price coz this would be the biggest enemy in any discussion before it starts...
ranging above 10k prolly, but to be rest assured, its negotiable...day to day, im still upgrading the car..so it depends on the progress as well. im still riding it as if i dont want to sell it off...so best offer shall be it
if new buyer wants to get it perfect condition, willing to pay more, wait for me to make it as requested....
so depends lor....

fastclubman...wat happen to ur car?

 

[fastclubman]

miniflintsone,

really not sure what went wrong where actually. Was driving back from Seremban to Kajang on the highway, moderate speed 120-150 like that, and it was fine. Then as I was got off the highway and reaching closer to home, it was harder to engage gear. Right infront of my house couldnt engage gear at all. No clutch.

Until now cannot figure out what went wrong. All my clutch components then were from the previous engine and only covered about 3000km. So its quite new and in very good condition. Intially thought the slave cylinder, so changed it and it had a bit of clutch but as soon as we got some heat in the car, no clutch again. Very odd! Then started replacing parts one by one. Even the thrust washer on the crank was changed and checked for endfloat. Still no luck.

Just bought in a complete set of AP racing race/rally plate and orange diaphragm from UK. Made it even worse, press clutch engine die off. So my mech now decided to take the entire engine off and strip it start from scratch. I have also had a new steel ultralight flywheel and backplate, dont know if thats affecting it somehow.

So while the engine is out, dropping in a std 1000cc so that i can still use the car.

Blitz,

if standard not so expensive. Sin Tong Bee is very expensive. I usually get mine from UK direct. Thanks to my work and also colleagues. For the ap race/rally plate and diaphragm STB quoted me close to a thousand, from UK hand carried it was slight more than 600.

I do have an excellent set of used orange diaphragm and rally clutch plate (AP Racing) for sale if anyone is interested. heheheh

sorry 4 d long silence. ws at OBS, lumut for 10 days. just came back this evening.

skyline,
mokey is doing absolutely great. in fact, the lumut trip was done in mokey. with my wife-to-be, who comes from that area. wish i could hv recorded the face of mom-in-law-to-be when she saw us arriving in mokey!

angel,
tt - sorry, i can't come. backpacking in india 4 a month from tmr onwards.

fastclubman,
marking exam papers? yup, that's a real chore! but the silence this time ws caused by the mokey trip to lumut. shikes, it was raining cats n dogs around 5pm near near the bangi exit! wife-to-be and I were drenched to bits, despite the hood and raincoats! water was coming in from all directions! still, it ws the best thing - we both had huge grins all the way, more so in the rain! n we r already planning a longer trip. bt first, mokey will tackle genting (hopefully!).

it's great 2 c this site moving again. wish i cld attend tt!

1275gt

hey guys,

i have a clubman 1275GT in my garage. it has been there for like 2 years already. i cant start my car engine. it has been idle ever since my piston ring broke and i dont know what to do now. i plan to repaint the car and change the engine. i am interested to have a turbo engine but i dont know what kind of turbo engine and where to get it done. i thought of using a Daihatsu L2 turbo or a 4EFTE Toyota Starlet 1.3 Turbo. please all the sifu give me some advice on what to do with my car. so far the interrior is in a good condition. body needs painting. bought the car with customed bodykits (dont know if it is metal or fiber glass).

i hope someone can give me a good advice and let me know the budget.

thank you

regards,
Chris

fastclubman,
sorry to hear ur saga with the clutch plate. the mini-never-ending-one-after-another-problem has hit u this time. i ws at the receiving end not so long ago. bt 2 think u wil b running on 1000! after looking n hearing ur car at the last tt, omg! then again, u r a modifying kaki - so, d 1000 probably will get more garang 2!

 

[fastclubman]

sureshn,

the 1000cc is going to be stock, but will be fitted with a race exhaust. heheheh. I will probably enjoy the manners of the engine (1000cc very smooth) compared to the 1400 beast that i was used too. Not planning to do anything to it, just waiting for my mechanic to sort the other engine out. I miss the lumpy idle and the snorting of the Weber, not to mention the acceleration.

Oh well, its another test of the Mini Gods!

Take care folks.

regards,

Fastclubman
