Gratifying that you have matured beyond your pop/bang phase.

[@PetrolPed]

LOL 😂

It's going to be so much better when the work is done.Really liked the talk about the power curve on the engine.

No more pops and bangs 😢. Sounds like it will make her more drive able and more fun. Loving the Bilsteind as well 👍

That’s the plan 👍

Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend.

[@PetrolPed]

You too!

Like you...we're all looking forward to seeing and hearing how your Mulgari machine gets up to on the road!

[@PetrolPed]

You and me both!

[@DevjeetBhomra]

Love the videos Ped - just want to say have been watching your channel for a while and recently just bought a 2020 Clubman JCW after seeing how much fun you had with Charlie clubman ! Has been the best decision I've made after upgrading from the F56 Cooper S. Always look forward to the mini content on the channel - keep it coming !

[@PetrolPed]

That is awesome!

[@grahamwest1079]

Buy buy ludicrous pop bang, thought you had lost the plot when you fitted that map originally 😂

[@kenroyal3527]

Love this car. Happy you're cleaning her up a bit. We'd all like to drive her when done. She doesn't need pops and bangs.

[@PetrolPed]

Couldn't agree more! I should do a communal Ruby drive 😂

[@Russell_G]

Excellent video Ped, you and Darren play well together :)!

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@HQBProductions]

Hello Peter…Thank goodness for getting rid of those awful pops etc….when I was young, that was always the result of incorrect engine timing and we did lots of careful setting to stop it happening! In racing, that was a different reason and Alfa Romeo etc were well known for it but then it was in a good way. If you want your 948cc Morris Minor to do it, just advance the ignition miles over and it will pop and bang easily but be undriveable! Now it’s that suspension I’m most interested in…ride quality THEN handling is my goal…a smooth car is so much easier to drive quickly than a tea trolley on casters!! Keep enjoying that sun…😃😃😃😎😎😎😎😎

[@PetrolPed]

Having a lovely time in the sun thanks 🙏🏻

[@silverlover5817]

Thanks for the video, I have a question as I'm planning to buy one. At what mileage are you planning to change the timing chain on this N18 engine?

[@nickrendell4300]

one thing you could do in the engine bay is change the colour of the rocker cover to red with the petrol ped logo on it.brighten up the engine bay, great video on getting the mini back to road spec.

[@PetrolPed]

Cool idea!

[@SapphireSamC]

That must be the 1.6L Prince engine!? I’ve one of those in my 308 Gti 270 by Peugeot Sport! Epic things when serviced well. Mines 300bhp & 380nm and at only 1205kg, it’s an absolute beast!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Garry. I’m still on holiday. Back home Friday 👍

[@Sold_a_dummy]

I'm very surprised that things went wrong so quickly with those parts. And, that you could not have just raised the car and get less aggressive pads. That's a ton of money there. That said, good video. Your work is very relatable, and he's also very good on camera.

[@PetrolPed]

Tried less aggressive pads. Didn’t work as those Alcons are race brakes with no NVH. Coilovers were shot. Agreed that isn’t great 👎

[@dkendr6793]

When you pulled into the shop, it sounded like a train coming into the station. Even my old ears hurt.

Does anyone know of a good place to go and get upgrades like this in the eastern untied states? Great video as always…

[@jonwood4403]

Interesting that you chose Bilstein B14 coilovers as this is what I had installed a few years back on my R58 JCW and I was thinking the ride was harsh and had been considering moving back to stock as the wife wont drive the car so Christ knows what those BC coilovers must have been like - rocks perhaps 😂? I also have EBC vented and drilled rotors and pads all round and they have been great and certainly no squeals

[@PetrolPed]

The BCs are like blocks of rubber 😂

[@dutchF56]

......waiting for the next video 😂😂

[@PetrolPed]

Should be early Feb 👍

[@jonah406]

Where are the discs from, Ped? Looking at some EBC discs/pads this year

[@Jonathan-qz9kd]

They are the cheap ones you get with the brake callipers and discs from mod a mini they are ok to be fair. The ebc ultimax discs are better but not cheap I have ran both I have those callipers with fds2500 pads and ebc discs and i can’t get brake fade on track.

[@pad3357]

Smart those coilovers! Hope you leave some pops and bangs thats my favourite part of the r56, feathering the throttle to initiate gunfire was always fun.

[@johnbrown3951]

I too am looking forward to the conclusion of the pairing back to road focused car. I can't believe you would take a car to a garage let a lone Mulgari when the car looks like that i.e. wheel arches and engine bay. I always have my car and engine bay pristine for any schedule garage visit and even my sons car gets the works before a visit to my local garage. Mind you until I bought my eMTB my cars were spotless all the time now not so much as I would rather be out on my bike unless it's raining of course.

If it’s a dedicated track car, ok but to my eyes the stance and obviously ride is to extreme for road use which I guess is the point, I am sure the alloys save weight but the stock items from factory looked great..but good luck with retro project.
