Hi All!
My name is Ray and I live in Perth WA. My wife Erin and I became bitten by the Mini bug about six months ago when we became the proud owners of Candy, our 1972 Clubman.
Our little Clubby had some hidden surprises that we are still finding out, such as a polished and ported head, race cam, high lift roller rockers, uprated diff the list goes on.
We have fitter a 40DCOE Weber replacing the twin SU's, fitted LCB extractors with a straight through 2" exhaust with a Lukey ultraflow mufler and 3" tip. Sounds and runs great now!
I'm currently working on a customised dash, and next on the list of things to do is fully adjustable suspension to replace the tired old hydrolastic suspension.
I had Candy Dyno tuned the other day, and she is putting out 85bhp @ 6000rpm at the wheels, (about 100bhp at the flywheel?!) so she is a bit of fun to drive and quite able to wipe the smiles off the faces of some of the young hoons in their V8's around perth. Oh the satisfaction.
Well, I'm glad I managed to stuble across this site, it looks like a great resource that I'll be using a heap!
Check out the following pics of Candy.....
