The new car, The Milliams

[cliolord]

fun little run around and costs half the amount of the valliams to run in petrol, the thing runs on fumes! Awsome bit of 80's kit! Despite the talk that mini handling is brutal, even with road legal slicks on this one, it isnt up to the level of the hybrid

Hey lads....Agree totally Andy P...I picked this mini up for a bargain I really did. Its a lad that uses my garage for work and MOT...He use to work at my garage and 3years ago he had it on axel stands as a bare shell and rebuilt the whole thing for his girlfriend...Engine was rebuilt, along with gearbox, interior and reprayed exterior. They split up, I get car Needs a small amount of work for a new MOT but it still has 4months MOT and 4months Tax so ill do that in feb or so.

I have 4 Renault Clio F7P engines lieing about the garage, 2 of which work perfectly and I have thought about trying to convert it but it's a shame removing this engine as its sweet.

Disappointing news on what is under the hood though maxiboy....I wish it -was a GT lump or something but its just a little 998cc leaf blower Then again, I got it as a run about so can't complain...

Modifications;
-Stage 1 Tuning kit, different inlet manifold, larger needle, K&N panel filter, stainless steel exhaust
-Koni Shocks all round
-Alloy Short Shifter
-Worlds smallest steering wheel
-Updated dash
-Yoko Advan tyres
-Leather seats with white pipeing

Here are a few more pictures...Sorry, I didn't have any time to clean the car so it looks abit dirty and the interior is a state!

Rather worrying stains on the backseat there! lol nice! love my mini's if only they werent so small! i have a friend who has a rally mini, metro gta front subframe etc, 196bhp k-series motor, and i think it weigh's about 600kg, goes well
He says it handles ok but not up to scratch compared to a modern hatch with decent suspension, mini's have ruled the bends but now clio's do! lol
