The iconic stripes on the Mini Cooper pay homage to the bonnet straps used during rally days. These straps were essential in securing the bonnet during high-speed rally races, ensuring it stayed firmly in place despite the rough and tumble of the track.
Had a b18c6 in my mini for 20 years. Had it rebuild, this winter, gained 50bhp-> bullet proof (150hp nos shot rdy). A-series ppl just dont know what they are missing out on.
Not everyone cares about big HP. The problem is that most A series are not setup properly. Most specialist don't have a clue on how to tune a SU carb, besides lettingit idle nicely. A well sorted A series is a blast to drive.
@@GTE_Channel hahah nono, you will after. And its not about the vtec stuff too, its that moment at 2200 revs when the (tiny) torque picks up. Its a bit like driving a Telsa in town, effortless but with more ermmm joy?:P
I'm grateful that you are 8 minutes away from my house. Thanks for helping me set my 91 up with all the parts and installation help.

You really know your stuff...... classic Minis are quite a rare sight on the roads back in the homeland.
And £25,000 plus! I wish I had purchased 5 Minis, some years back when they were cheap as chips!
I'd like to know what suspension you had, and what changes you did to improve it, as you stated at the beginning?.

I’m getting a 78 soon. I’d love to get in touch with you guys
happy to help
@@JETMotors I’m in Pennsylvania, should I get in your website and we can discuss
yes either call 503-869-4294 or email jetmotors@comcast.net @@covidcodyiii9647
Will your kits work with automatic transmissions?
Wish I was closer! 😭
Lovely wee Mini, but the one thing that really spoils the overall look is those MK1 rear lights, they don't match the rest the car.....
where is your garage based?
Not Heaven Hills, near Angel Falls, when driving too fast in a Min.
Nothing Like MINI👍

I'll love it for sure, but I don't need it. That's my point.
