Im up for this... gonna check my diary (aka the missus) but should be able to make it

I was just talking about getting another mini the other day!!! Completely stripped my last one and resprayed it myself and my housemate has one with a stage 5 A series engine in it so getting the engine sorted would be a piece of cake... Still getting over the christmas wallet haemorrhage but If youve still got this in the spring id definitely be interested mate, my cousin lives in Edinburgh so I could get him to pop and take a look at it. Wish I could take it off you now mate but the brakes and discs on the sup need replacing and its looking like 500 ish quid to get them done properly. Good luck with the sale though but drop me a message if you dont shift it in the next couple of months.

Cheers guys, I keep hearing good things about the CW pads... was very impressed with the ones I had on there to be honest. Might see what the price difference is between the two and see if my 'smashed-to-bits' christmas wallet can stretch to the CW ones. I assume a toyota dealer would be able to find standard Uk pads in a jiffy... anyone know where I could find a part number? -
I havent laughed so hard as when i noticed 'arse biscuits' on the door.... Very good episode, anyone else continually thinking about some of the staged stuff though, like when the bmx guys came skidding down that staircase and May had to lock up and put on a dissapproving face... Its better when they just leave all that stuff out! Also I loved the bright yellow noise machine... what a monster!

Hi All, The time has come to replace the pads (and possibly the discs) on my GZ. I think they are the uprated import brakes which were an option on the 94 reg GZ's Pictures below... can someone tell me if i need UK/Import pads etc? The pictures arnt the best im afraid but can anyone help? Also if these can be identified wheres the best place to go to get them? Thanks in advance guys!

I fit the bill... apart from the being a lady bit... lol Think i better have a word with 'her indoors'...

Could be either adi or me... i work on eastways too. Is yours the one on the road up past tinas cantina? (lol) Where'd you work adi?
-
Is this the same one i see everyday parked on Eastways parallel to the railway track? Looks nice
-
lol... dont get me wrong I had a really good look round the site but couldnt find out about how adding nitrous effects boost. Loads of other really usefull information though... those guys really know their stuff!
-
Glad you got your motor back mate... cant imagine how pissed i'd be if someone lifted mine. No prints? Doesnt sound like it was the work of little chav joyriders fella. Glad there was a happy ending for a change
-
I had a look on there but couldnt see anything relating to the results of adding nitrous to a turbo system. I'll have another look and see if I missed anything.

Managed to christen the supe at usc last year... me kneeling on drivers seat with my head in the back of the car, her with her head against the passenger window holding onto the jesus christ handle, one knee on the seat one foot in the foot well... Proper mission i tell ya but at least i can say ive done it! On a side note... well random thread... LMAO!

Me and a mate were just talking about how installing a wet nos system would affect the level of boost on a Jspec TT BPU. Mine for example runs about 1.1 - 1.2 ish and has a restrictor ring fitted to prevent it from climbing over this. Would running nitrous increase the level in which the car boosts to? (ignoring the fact that the restrictor ring would prevent it) Just wondering... anyone got any ideas?
