Thought i better actually start a project thread.

My car was purchased in November last year from Halliwell Jones Mini in Southport, was the closest one to me with low mileage. So off on the train with my mate and i soon became the owner on Mini GP -1854

Second day after getting it my KW lowering springs were fitted and the car was starting to look how i wanted it.

Since i've had the car its been getting slowly modded;
My plans were
New seats (recaro's giving me back problems)
Harnesses to go with seats
Spacers, to get the low and fat look!
Manifold and de-cat
Engine tuning
Head unit

I've managed to carry out most of the work since i've had the car bar my engine tuning. Head unit i had from my last car, so was fitted when i got home. There was still too much of an arch gap so the springs have now been replaced for coilovers. As im not wanting to chuck too much money into the car i decided to go with AP coilovers for the GP, as they are essentially KW's. And i dont mind greasing them up once a month or so!

Coilovers should hopefully arrive this afternoon and i can get cracking and have them fitted!

PHOTOOOOSSSSSS







Thats it for Spicy just now. . . :thumbup1:

I'll do the blitz for now, as i have two spare sets of RB's to put on if i dont like them red.

And if i do like it then i can find some other wheels. Right now i'm putting money into other things and buying ANOTHER set of wheels when i have another 7 sets lying around isn't viable or cost effective haha!

Evil - i'd hope it would bring the scottish out in him, seeing as he is scottish :lol: Bring back the ruling over MT "insert Evil laugh"

Haha i forgot the Innovate AFR gauge inside and new black takata's to go with the Bride's.

Once i get the car put back together i'll take some more photos.

Huge thank you to Jan at RMW for supplying all my parts and getting it organised for me! Really looking forward to getting the car back running :D

Missing the point. Takata's signature thing is their colour, always has been until they sold out to le Germans.

Im teasing hahaha!

They are super nice harnesses, i dont like the schroth ones. But once i got them, they are stupidly good quality. So well worth the ££££ no hobo here!
Yes they are mega nice, hence why I've planned to go with them (in green). Sadly I am many steps behind on the money front and I don't want to buy twice.
