Is there a front mounted radiator in there somewhere? The booster is where the rad should be.


Looks like it's there on the lower right, with a thermo-fan and overflow...

Certainly a tidy installation, but without the venerable A-series the car has lost its soul. :cry: It might as well be a BINI :roll:

Yep it's an awesome car with amazing attention to detail. I really love that engine bay, It's a shame it didn't make it anywhere on the front cover :(

I picked up the mag today, not a bad write up, but they do put a lot of crap and exaggeration's in. How many time's do they have to mention the phrase "Mini Cooper S" - Mini Cooper S Rear drums, Mini Cooper S Steering rack etc..last i checked Cooper S's didn't have a rack any different to any of the other mini's and the rear drums, well stepped drums are technically the same apart from the slots but that's a moot point.

How about the weight of the car, they reckon it weighs ~600kg. Fat chance!

Mini World did the same thing with both Brad's and Borgy's car, filled the article with lots of crap, but i guess that's what people want to read?

A beautiful engine bay with a crappy looking washer bottle.
Everything else looks like it belongs there but the washer bottle just looks cheap. :cry:

It looks out of place because it hasn't been chromed or polished - like everything else in the engine bay!

It did have before (not sure if it was an A series) but it was a very lumpy engine. It went along pretty well and sounded awesome.
