Where are you located exactly mate?

8g is a lot for a mini but if you buy a cheaper one and it needs some work done then you could quite easily end up spending 8g in total. It looks awesome in the pics.


I live in Prahan

Probably going to do some mods straight up anyway. Adjustable shocks, 4 o 6 piston brakes on front and disks on back, cage and some engine work, exhaust and b4 to long no doubt a bit of forced induction to fix my lack of power bug :lol:

Have about $25g in receipts for current car :shock: so yeah I don't mind spending my $$ on my cars. They're good fun :D

Saw some koni adjustables for $1500, I think the 6 piston were only a couple of $g but the only problem I had with them was they had no dust seals :( minor but hey My money my complaint :P although I may be able to adapt some 4 pistons from my work from the bikes to suit the mini 8)
Turbo wise, I'm a fabricator who makes car parts day in day out, have built 5 lamboghini chassis and other car parts before so I dont think I'll struggle. I also have 4 tubo's sitting in the shed but they're all to big for a mini.. They're more so for a 2lt like my gtv that I'm playing with at the moment.

Who do you make car parts for? I wish i could make stuff myself... mostly i'm held back by the lack of tools and space.
