This still cracks me up. I'll have to remember this when I do brake work at the back style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I put a JCW airbox in last night, and now it goes noticably harder again, and because of the better breathing squeels like a stuck pig when it's on boost. Sounds great!! It makes the defender turbo whine all seem a bit subtle.

That's the astonishing thing about the mini... all doors and tailgate close exactly as normal style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Here's to 25000 nm/degree of torsional rigidity style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif Amazingly, people put strut braces on them and claim they are better again 8O

[sclarke]

Now thats impressive.
Its rare to see a car that can lift a wheel and open the doors...

Think youself lucky you Mini doesnt have the same amount of travel as the fender, it would be like driving on a water bed. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif
