RWDmad Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 1300 ghia,bought it on ebay when i was 14
caprinerd Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 Got when i was 16 and it went last year, started as 998cc and 30ish bhp and finished up 1275cc turbo with 160bhp I had a mini turbo years ago and i still reckon it was possibly the fastest and most dangerous car iv ever had, well it did have drums all round but my god did it shift, the bleed tap used to be undone so much that i kept it in my pocket was that a metro conversion or an era conversion
antz Posted November 2, 2008 Report Posted November 2, 2008 my dads mate has a mini with a metro turbo. its been a long term project for many years but he has lost interest
Twinkle Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 got my first car when i was 14 and restored it. morris 1100! eventually ended up as a 1300gt with metro turbo and vanden plas full leather and walnut interior on white wellers slammed on tis arse ok, so i let the hydragas suspension down

GT_lenny Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah putting 160bhp through 12" wheels was entertaining, My mate had a Focus RS at the same time as I had the mini, on and on he'd whinge about torque steer, so i took him out in the Mini, all of a sudden he stopped complaining about the Focus
