  • The Canadian Export

    We may have finally wore out the MINI. So we started working on the '86 black Canadian export. If you remember the story, we bought it in LA, it blew its turbo oil supply 70 miles from home. We finally got it home and found the turbo seals were leaking. Its been mothballed ever since because my son didn't want to work on it. Will he does now. So he has ported the upper and lower intakes and we are starting to put it back together.

    Bob,
    You're an a-hole for allowing your son to get involved in one of those projects.

    Let me know when you need an electronics geek to get things working.

      Upgrading the turbo a little? At least a larger downpipe.

        Mitch, I'm just sharing the love.

        We have a full three inch system for it, I just have to weld it together. I'm not sure that I want to install it, because if he craps out again I'm just going to sell the car.

          That is just tough love I guess. Well it is a good way to keep him outa trouble & flat broke.

            No doubt.

            I think I need to have a garage sale, I counted seven turbos, three ecu, a couple of VAMs. etc.

              I'd like to have a spare PE, ship it my way.

              That car is run'n a little high in the front.

                It took that many tries to get it right?
