when you get on and do it ,its not that hard, well done
1275 are a bit pokey from a 998.
does it whisle or winde, does it do it in every gear, right through the rev range,
best to hear it than to guess what it is,

the mini has been on the road a short time now in that time i have swaped the interior from early cooper seats to cobra bucket seats. 4 point harnesses and a 6 point cage with door bars cross bar etc. a set of 5x12 revolution wheels. now decided it dont look right and not really the look i first intended for the mini. so i decided to sell and look for a unmolested early example of a mini. this fell flat on its face coz the one i had my hart set on fell through. so the advantage was removed from sale and will be given a make over instead. i will be treating it to half leather interior new head lining new carpets and a new dash over the next few weeks to follow new sills and a engine change ;D ;D(im not happy with 77bhp) the mg engine will be replaced by a standerd rover 1275 while some seriouse mods take place to the mg engine
as bits are removed from my mini thay will be listed in the for sale section
the advantage should be ready intime for next show seasion ;D all but the new engine ;D
