Looks like the GP sub section is gathering pace.

I'm not helping either, as I bought a GP1 during the week. As soon as I drove it I got what all the fuss was about - mad little car, and great fun!

Going to get it detailed and in for a service then will post up a few pics

Good to hear!!

Modifying them can make them mental..to put it mildly :thumbs:

Congrats on your Mini btw Stumpy, looks v nice :thumbs:


I can only imagine! I'll probably be keeping it standard for the moment, as I plan to use it for a bit of tripping around and occasional commuting, but longer term who knows...

Just keep an ear out for chain rattle, tensioner is the easy fix but there has been a few GPs recently with bent valves. Timing chain has stretched and jumped a cog leading to a big bang!

Anyhow,

Apologies Stumpy for railroading your thread.

You'll love the Mini :thumbs:

Will do :smt023

All good. Nice yo hear about others.
Been spending a lot of time looking at tuning :whistle:

Need new tyres. Its on runflats currently :bigcry:

Maybe brakes afterwards. Not sure other than maybe a larger IC...

Tuning you say??

Not sure where you're based but, there is only one place to go, 1320Mini. They're near St Neots in Cambs, I wouldn't let anyone else touch mine and it's a 250 mile round trip for me.

They're very knowledgable, reasonably priced and don't try to sell you things you don't need. They have saved me a fortune on my car, I tend to come up with all sorts of ideas and they patiently explain to me I'd be wasting my money :whistle:

Customers come from all over e.g. Scotland, even Switzerland!

Met Peter down there when he bought his csl for me to see. I warned him the same as I'll warn you, you going to think it's a pikey yard :hahaha:

Ta. Not really needing/wanting much more power. Maybe an IC + map, a LSD and decent brakes?

I'm in Kent...
