PI bits

Today I found a box full of shiny PI gear in the post. A nice Christmas present I gave myself. A couple of weeks ago I have sent a spare MU, 11 injectors and my Throttle bodies to Neil Ferguson in the UK. He reconditioned the lot for me and it seems he has done a good job on it. All the bits came back nice and shiny. The MU is now converted for unleaded fuel. The TB's had a lot of play on the spindles which are replaced. So far I'm happy with the results and hopefully the PI should fire up soon!

Snow magic

Spotted this when I came home from work today. Thought I would share it with you. Sticky snow!

Dreaming of a white Christmas too!

Well, not dreaming.... it's actually happening this year, a white Christmas in the Netherlands. Wishing you all the best and of course a happy new year!


Soon there should be some PI progress. The reconditioned injection bits are on it's way back from the UK and should arrive soon. In the meantime I keep myself busy rebuilding the Mini front suspension. (After killing it during last nachtrit). Our friend and Mini specialist Freek told me there are some bumpstops missing and this has possible caused the damage. Got all the subframe mountings polybushed and also the bushes for the lower arm and tiebars are replaced. All a very straightforward job once you figured out how to support the body and subframe. We've got the Mini nearly for a year now and rebuilt the complete front and rear suspension and subframes on it. Also it became new tyres (Yokohama) as the Falkens were a complete waiste. No grip at all in the wet. The car was extremely dangerous to drive. Must say things have improved a lot after the tyre change and rear suspension rebuild. I recon it will become even better after the front is done. Our little Cooper is so much fun to drive, anyone should have one!
