The new bumper made the headlights look old so I got new ones. 8.5/10 old ones will be in the BM shortly.

The car runs like new, (better) burns no oil, leaks nothing. hard to believe.

I think about 152k, bet it is in the first few posts of this thread.

Scary thing is this is not my daily. I drive alot.

Picked up the radius rod bushings today, oil change & they will go in this weekend.

WTF with the clutch? apparently they need a better distribution chain. Sorry.

Lol, no, I meant old as in 60s and 70s. The new ones are pretty nice, but as I said in the PMs earlier, its not light enough for me

I was also thinking about dropping that motor I have into an old Mini. I was seriously considering it about 2 years ago. So much so that I went down to a company in GA and spoke with them about it for awhile. I sat in one, and they are tiny, but I want one. But I couldnt find one in decent shape. Theyre pretty cool, you can have a full interior, A/C, stereo, and still hit 11s in the 1/4 mile. And thats with less then 300hp.

BTW, what sort of plates are those?

Sorry about your car.

Here is what is next:

Waiting for fluid to do full flush and then these will be on the car, this was a test fit to be sure the wheels cleared.

Thanks for the brackets to Civicdrivr!

really? find the calipers for cheap is the hard part, then what, another $125 or so for brackets (no hook ups) and then few more hundred for rotors. seen the rl calipers go for $400+. but if i find them for cheap than ill do what u did.
