very nice, my only comment , isn't that clutch master a leaker. Maybe a better product is available. Having owned a Spit you always see corrosion under the masters. I saw a GT-6 where the owner had purchased a drip plate mounted under the masters to catch any fluid before it stared to deteriorate the paint and metal body. Just a thought. As a former S-2 owner your restore so far in well done!!!

That noise reminded me of my 93' Sport Quattro S2 I had in 2006/7, Stupidly I swapped it for a MK1 MR2. Especially knowing what their worth now.

Great work. All looking good. I'm very curious as to which parts you used for the clutch conversion to hydraulic. Which slave and master cylinders were used, and if it was an easy job and what problems you had, if any. I'm thinking of converting mine from cable. Keep up the good work.

What muffler are you using?

is it a philips or is it a JIS?

the inner inner sill is made from some seriosuly thick steel its the outer sill and jacking point reinforcements that are a bit....thin

Save yourself 80 quid and just put your hand over the tailpipe with the engine running..and check for leaking....😂

You don’t know what you’re doing,remove my comment like you did the last one,well one less subscriber

"Toyota Power!" love it.

That's a great save! The fact it could crack the sump too just adds to the fun 😁 Im glad it's worked and keeps the mini on the road.

Does the problem can course the car to overheat?

Bmw did a sump repair plug for their f650gs motorbike engine (Rotax) .Same engine in Aprilia Pegaso. Wondered why i stripped sump plug then realised translated torque setting in manual said 60 when it should have been 30.

18yrs at rover main dealer, hurt my hand so many times "explaining" to the apprentices why they should of used my shortened 15/16 spanner to tighten the plug... then hurt my wrist helicoiling at least one a week [the big drill used to stick + spin your arms around] best thing ever invented, 100% success with that helicoil kit...

Great video. I noticed that you had a "Colortune" kit. Why didn't you use it to set the correct jet levels?

Hi ! I have one right glass lens headlight for the RHD . Cibie. Very good condition.

Time is never free. It's the valuable resource you will have and it passes by unstoppable. Your time is a limited gift and its running out.

Question.. is it defo service light n not transmission fault or electrics...

289 or 4.6 Rover

What spray sealant did you use? Looks like the OEM stuff, I've been using gravitex but it doesn't have that sort of finish. Also lol that spider section :D

Looks ace! Where did you get the coloured silicone vacuum lines with that little blanking thing on the throttle body?

Great, excellent bit of information. I'm sure now we can get the 1275 mini singing a lot sweeter.

Just had my twin HS6 refurbed by someone and I'm putting them back on now. This is so helpful and beautifully explained. Here's hoping I can replicate that! lol

You deserve more views/subscribers 👊🏽

Faffing with my P6 TC at the moment, my adjustments screws are ****ed, where did you get those lovely knurled ones with the springs?? I ordered a kit from SU but they sent me the wrong ones.

Ohh the adjustable wrench 🤦‍♂️

When I crank it should it stay at 12 volts consistently or just real quick and then go back down cause that’s what mines doing

I just saw one im in Zimbabwe, i hesitating to buy the project cause i might not find the parts .

can you helpme?? i have a jagura mk2 1967 .34 with 2 carbs su hd6 ..there are leak bottom of the plenum thru the zirks (front)...the levers and nedless are good.....

Thank you, much appreciated

Hi, enjoyed watching the videos. Working on a '86 Coupe Quattro - what paint are you using on the suspension bits?

Hi would you know what could have happened so yesterday we changed the pump car started run for a minute and now it seems again that the rail gets no fuel and there is no pressure only when I put the diagnostic cable the fb b+ only then there is a little bit of fuel pushed and the car starts for a millisecond 😢

I hope I didn’t break my pump cause when I connected the wires to the pump and battery smoke and a spark came out from the negative side

What current/wire gauge did you use? Have my mig on the lowest with 0.8 and it's still blasting through that thin floor :(

Thanks for this explanation- not same car i'm looking at one for but definitely answered questions that I had

Thank you!

Five cylinder engine ❤

Can the throttle bodies stop the car from turning over?? Please any help

Thanks that was helpful! I have a weird problem with Corsa lights...headlights are on in off position and off in the on position...bulbs are fine. Is there a reset hack for lights? Thanks a mill

Very nice job. Looks great!

Just found your channel and watched all the coupe vids, while i was allegedly working on my '85, 2L JS engined 5 pot. I've had mine for 8 years and only ever seen one other on the road. Have you still got it?

Just building one now. The ass end on mind is rotten like that aswell. Blocked drain plugs and been stood for years

Great video, another question; your metal fuel pressure and return line look relatively new. Where did you get them or are they custom made?

I have a 1984 GTE, which I've had from new. At the last MOT I was told to have the headlight reflectors rechromed at the earliest opportunity. I tried one spray can of another brand, which wasn't very good so I removed it with thinners. Strangely some of the original good reflective surface also came off. This got me thinking that they were painted, rather than chrome plated originally.

Fantastic! Getting a corsa c for £150 and its got this exact problem , glad its a nice and easy fix ! Keep up the good work !

howdy just bought a mr2, that havnt ran for 20 years...and thought abt changing the coolent and every fulid before trying to start her up?what would u recommed i do?

Кстати,эта "раздражающая" кабельная стяжка заводская ))

All looks very smart and well thought out upgrades. One of the biggest problems with real world use of these cars is ventilation. There’s no exit for cabin fumes, and the Kamm tail seems to hold fumes behind the car which get sucked into the cabin through the tiniest gaps around the tail lights. Unless you use a plastic rear screen with vent holes cut, it’s a problem. All this comes from experience using one as a road and sprint car. It would be great if you could find a solution retaining a glass screen. Venting under the car into the diff area ? Maybe I’m fussy, but on a long run it can leave you with a sick headache.

Very cool little car! Firstly sack the old push rod motor off (even though it holds oil better than mine!) A few suggestions: 1.6 mx5 with a turbo - its shorter in height than a 1.8 but not much bigger in length/width to the 1600 thats in it but 30 more brake as it is and theyre peanuts to buy. 4age as you have one and very cool - apparenlty based on the cosworth BDA which used the 1600 block thats in it. Throw an rx8 box on it and off you go. Rotary - you can use a megasquirt to run them. Sack the gauges etc off and run modern smiths so nobody would notice till you fire it up S2000 would be cool but thats a tall engine too. Jaguar 3l v6, cheap and understressed as theyre never revved. Rocketeer do kits to use that engine in mx5s V8 cos v8!
