3G MINI ME CONVERSION

[nominous]

That 12mm must be right on the edge of the circlip recess ?

i remade my circlip recess with a hacksaw and a lot of patience, it might sound hill billy but it works fine, i use my car everyday, drag race it etc and i have done 3k in it so far. my joints are starting to click now on full lock, they are small cv joints but i did fill them with white grease which i shouldnt of, gonna sort this over the winter with new bigger cv joints and different drive flanges, and fire the turbo engine in it.

Its been a busy couple of weeks, been very reliable except for to knackerd fuel pumps, so decided to fix the problem once and for all, a lift pump/swirl pot and high pressure pump, its still in the prototype stage, have ordered a new pump and some p clips to keep the pipe work secure and the back seats will be going back in, got myself a decent induction kit off ebay for 20 quid, it was brand new, aem, its meant for a 4g but fits this just fine, going to finaly lower it in the next couple of weeks.
i want to know if anyone has a set of rev counter clocks for a 3g for sale

it might sound hill billy but it works fine

The best mods usually are a bit pikey

its been a while since i have been on here, been experimenting with gearboxes, now using a 4.4 final drive with esi ratios, its perked the old girl up a little. but its time to move on so the car will be for sale, if anyones intrested let me know, offers

[DSAREBETTERTHANBS]

its been a long cold winter, the old 3gs been keeping warm in a garage whilst i made plans for it, gone are the chavy wheels and nuts, i am leading th the stock/sleeper look

i also decided to lower it, not too much just enough i think,
i also changed the engine ready for my turbo conversion, as i had flogged the d15 to death, then i came across a jackson racing super charger, will find out monday if it will fit, it looks tight

[nominous]

If it doesnt fit, please let me know the info as I'm on the look out for a JRSC.

I suspect the back fitment might be ok, but the double pulley on the alternator is going to be a problem with the frame rails ?

[DSAREBETTERTHANBS]

the charger fitted fine, as predicted the double pulley would need to be almost behind the dash board, so its back to the original plan, a 1600 bottom end, and a little turbo, it was a pain to get the turbo in,
