MINI TECHNICAL

Here are the two engine configurations I ran in the mini over the past four years.

I built the 850 originally myself, but with in three weeks it was rebuilt by Northern Mini Parts with gearbox failure & over the following two years we modified the engine up to the build sheet attached. At the same time as modifying the suspension & competing.

The build sheet for the 1330cc engine was provided by the engine builder (Simon Gardiner), my mechanic (Russell Turnner) built the gearbox, & I prepared the car for the upgrade.
