I miss cars... I have nothing worth posting. No track here on Oahu, so my motivation to build is gone.

 

I do have a videos i made of the dumb crap we used to do when i lived in MA. I think the statute of limitations has passed. :) They 6-8 years old.

Heres my little car. Sadly Im kinda trying to sell it. Its a Innocenti Mini Cooper. Its an Italian made mini. Has a Honda B20 Vtec Turbo. Still need to paint the front and re-tune it. Should be about 250hp and the car only weighs 1300lbs.

Engine has changed a little bit since this was taken. BOV reocated so the hood will close properly and ceramic coated the exhaust.

Screw tents!

 

Thats not camping :P Silly Portlanders don't you know' date=' camping is for us hill folk out in Yacolt :P[/quote']

 

Let me rephrase that... (scratch)

It's my kind of camping! No tents and sleeping on the floors in a sleeping bag for me!(laugh)

 

 

I'm not trying to prove anything I'm just trying to enjoy the great outdoors in the lap of luxury!:p

 

Contrary to popular belief, lack of electricity and plumbing does not build character!:p

I will have a real mini one day. They are a true work of art and a feat of engineering genius. One of the first great rally cars back in the day too! I've been in love with them since I was 12 or so. I really want a RHD though with the stock 1275cc or a light jump to the 1380cc. Not as fast but a little more pure.;)

I started with a stock 998 and my next one was a 1380. 998 was just enough for the freeway as long as it wasnt up hill' date=' and the 1380 was a monster. So a 1275 would be a perfect mix.[/quote']

 

oh no, don't get me wrong, I want a monster! I just want to be able to say that monster is the stock engine when people question me, and you know first hand they do and will... I would love to put the turbo on it to but only boost it to like 5 or 6 psi, nothing crazy like the TT(24psi(rock2)). Either way it is a beauty of a car ya got there. A little paint and it will be worth top dollar...

Notice the motorcycle in the back? I was redoing the forks after rebuilding it...

Here is a shot of me during the rebuild...which was in the spare bedroom of my apartment in college. They had a policy of working on your vehicles in parking lot, BUT not one for in your own home! take in a rolling chassis and 4 boxes of parts and roll out a running motorcycle! I EVEN got all my deposit back haha!

Here is a link to some on ebay mind you they are not for bigblock chevy. The company used to make them for both big and small chevy. I used to have a set for my drag car to show off the harland sharpe rocker arms and girdles. They were cool but the engine had to be sitting for a while to see through them. They eventually warped really bad. So I cut out the tops and used them to set the valve lash.
