I dont think it is the box - it could be a multitude of other things though. I had a rattle in mine that I thought was a bearing about to depart this plane. Found out it was the oil filler cap that was loose... Look at the simple things first as it is usually the simple things that are causing it. I...

There is one of the Subaru SC's on Fleabay at the moment for $375 I think. I was tempted to grab it for the mini as it is designed for up to 1.0 litre or motorbikes.

Would give the Mini a good 30 percent increase in power...most of the mini crowd are doing the SC-12 road.

Ahh yes - supply and demand coupled with the have and have-nots...what is the price of a piece of string really and what are you prepped to pay! All aside - Fleabay has been turning up some treasures of late - grabbed a set of scorpions off the Trading Post for $450(set of 6!!) and camre with 10 per...

YeeeeHarrrr

Good luck over there - Austin is fantastic but watch out for their steaks - they deep fry them instead of grilling them!!!

You will love the place as the people are the friendliest I have ever met.

Keep in touch on AUSUBARU - convert them to your will!

Subaroo up in Mitchell is a good place to go. Capital Subaru is not bad either but you get the standard Soob charges too. There is a bloke in Fyshwick who specialises in Jap cars too but his business name eludes me. Try Subaroo in Mitchell - http://www.subaroo.com.au/home.htm Give them a go - they d...

$5k jeebus! You could have an early STI WRX frontcut up and running in a lib for that. Well I would do that but I dont think Mr RTA would appreciate a 2 litre STI engine in a 600kg mini...would be a helluva lot of fun though!!!:-D Just on a side note - the supercharged 1275 minis will give a rex th...

I have used the DC water pump on the mini for nearly 200,000km and not a hint of trouble. I did remove it when I rebuilt the new engine purely because I have no room left under the bonnet for the plumbing and the pump(I run a 10 inch thermo as well as the water pump and no mechanical fan).
