I note a side marker... I wonder what thats from ... Has he gone to the US for an aero... Or has he committed a sin in the eyes of some special MINI owners

Me? Sin? You know me mate, I'm always up for a bit of sin.

Car should be finished and final pictures posted tomorrow. I cant wait.

How much did the new oil pump stuff cost you? Might be worth changing mine while my clutch is being done, was there a lot of work involved getting to the pump???

The oil pump rotors were about £20 for the pair. Fitting means you have to remove the pullys from the side of the engine, take off the oil pump cover, and replace then, also replacing the oil pump gasket cover.

I have no idea how long the work would take as I didnt do it.

Richard Crofts · Jun 18th, 2008, 03:20 PM

I best get over to ThinkMINI tonight then if I'm going to sabotage it

Mate the TCE kit relocates the brake how? Out-board hub, in-board hub... rotates caliper location to front or rear, or location on the disc eg caliper pointing forward or pointing back?

It has a bracket which relocated the caliper further out, allowing for a larger disk to be fitted.

Richard Crofts · Jun 18th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Same as the Tar-ox one that I looked at then.... Nice

Rigsey · Jun 18th, 2008, 04:16 PM

This is a great thread

Richard Crofts · Jun 18th, 2008, 04:28 PM

I have now got a new turn of phrase for use when talking of Alex's car.... Its the Bhozmobile

Cooooooperslad · Jun 18th, 2008, 04:32 PM

Great work! Good to see Ade already has a loyal customer:P, he'd have another if I still had my Mini

When do I get to come over?

Richard Crofts · Jun 18th, 2008, 04:40 PM

I am guessing he will be taking pride of place at the ThinkMINI open day during the summer.... You'll see it then if you pop accross to Holt Heath, outside Worcester, way of the world.

Ummmmm... it looks to me like an R56 front bumper on that Bhozar, is that correct

Richard Crofts · Jun 18th, 2008, 05:29 PM

Not R56 me thinks ... Orange flashes on the side arches give 2 options IMO ... US spec or something altogether far more exciting (or risque/naughty depending on your point of view). Note he's being very careful to try and avoid letting us see shots of the front and rear bumpers.

He is also making no comment as to the engines internals .... I think that sneaky begger might have something very special under the hood that he is trying to plaster over with talk of LSDs and facelift boxes and oil/water pumps being the reason for an engine out job

Plus I hear murmers of expensive import/vat tax bills for parts from the US

You had your rims done too Bhozar? Gone back to white or sticking with silver for now... I think the whites did look good when new chap

Damo · Jun 18th, 2008, 05:43 PM

Argh can't see the photos at work.

Was talking with Graham about TCE Performance for shoy Big rear brakes

Got plenty of life in my rears yet though so no need to change really

MINI-Morgan · Jun 18th, 2008, 06:51 PM

Looking good

All the Aero Kits i've looked at have the side reflectors now

Seems to be standard!

Damo · Jun 18th, 2008, 08:12 PM

The front bumper is no way a standard or aero bumper! No way.

In fact I'd go as far as to say it looks like a repainted GP bumper

but couldn't say for definate.

Lucky Dave · Jun 18th, 2008, 09:35 PM

Thats the rear bumper! Its the red calipers making it look like the front!

Not talking about that picture

Talking about the picture where the stripes are being put on

You can see where the lower part of the cooper grill should go and it looks like the GP bit where the Number plate goes
