If its a 3.91 the gearing will be very close to mine, 3.25 diff with a 1:1 5th gear
Pulls like f*ck but tops out at 130 @ 6500 revs

get that bloody mini finished- I've done 8000 miles in the 320i, so there's no " yours aint done yet" type excuses left

Looks like a Sparco M3 strut brace. IMO one of the best and most purposeful looking braces and one of the cheapest too

Tis indeed a sparco M3 one.

I fancy one of these for mine, is £62 delivered a good price? Know of a better price anybody?

Id say thats a decent price. Is that demon tweeks? Thats where I went, altho i think i paid a bit more than that tbh more like 70.
They used to be like 50 quid but the price hiked up a few months ago to around 60-70ish.

Dan, not sure if you,ve seen these, or have a clue on the quality but it would save you from
painting it.

Hehe, dont worry bout the hi jack.
And yes the sparco one is a lovely bit of kit. Keep it red tho.;)
I shall be moving the battery to the boot yeh. Will be much better with it in the back.
