when is the next social meeting jan? i might come down and say g'day, i'm quite interested in seeing his car too. i might not be in my mini tho since my xmas performance pack is finally getting done!
my car is a 1275 and had drums all around too, ( its got discs now so don't stress!)
a few things different under the bonnet are on the 1275 at least are the oil filter position, it takes a z93 screw on type but directly on to the block, completely differentt to all the aussie cars, it also has a factory coolant overflow bottle. to satisfy local content legalities they had to cast their own blocks, so they signifigantly redesigned them. i am told that the sth african blocks and cranks are up there with the best.
i actually don't have too much info on the south african mini's i would really like to know more. i would love if you could pass on any info you might find out.
cheers steve
