UPDATE
Its been a while since i posted up here on the progress on the mini, after the problem with the AEI unit before Pod day it was left there far a week or so as i couldn't bare to see it again, 2 weeks ago deciede it was about time to start on it again to get it ready for USC and Nat Day.
I decided that as i have alittle more time i may have a paly with the engine and in a way i'm glad i did!
I bought a Piper 285 and valves springs to fit to the engine with my old modified 200SX turbo, after pulling the engine out to fit the cam i found the oil pump seriously worn aswell as the main bearings plus the pistons have seen better days. Quick and easy option was to find a desent running bottom end which i did (thanks Bod) and fit the bits to that one.
Now the mini has another bottom end, 285 fitted, valve springs in the head, turbo fitted, new exhaust as old one didn't fit new turbo, new clutch and a few other little bits.
A front flip has been found and fitted so now it looks more like a mini
, tomorrow i'll be having another go with the aei so hopefully we will have ignition and here the thing fire up for the first time
Will get pic's tomorrow too.
