  • Cptnslw 2.0

    When one door closes, another one opens.

    Time to get a new adventure going!



    1995 Rover Mini Cooper in 83,000ish original kms. FUEL INJECTION, BABY! JDM.



    Already had my first adventure in the rain today lol.

    Driving out of DT in the rain and it was sputtering. Thought it was wheel spin, but it died on Memorial Drive towards Deerfoot North.

    I definitely wouldn't have made it up the hill, so I used the offramp to bumpstart back into life and prayed to make it on 16th.

    Made it to the Shell through luck and timing and looked around:



    Kinda need that...

    Also, LABELS WERE IN JAPANESE. That was fun lol. Just followed the wiring and see where it led.



    Saved my ass as always, Leatherman:thumbsup:

    Also, distributor was soaking wet. Who puts it in the front of the grille?! Love the quirkiness.





    Dried it up using paper towels, rigged a Shell-branded shield for now so I can get to work. NAILED IT.

    Some other issues:

    - AC clutch won't engage
    - Low beam headlight won't work on the right side

    Already looking for interior upgrades.

      Wicked! My ex had a Mini as well in a similar color scheme, but it was all original interior with the wooden steering wheel and shift knob etc but i don't believe it was fuel injected. It was a hell of a fun car to drive!

      Enjoy it during the summer because it doesn't do very well with snow lol.

                          I stepped up my distributor shield by using the bags in the produce aisle.

                          Weight savings! And changing a headlight bulb is pretty rudimentary. But the right side has a short because it's constantly on low beam.

                              I had a 30th Anniversary Mini before (not fuel injected)

                              Black with red carper and seats. They really are a lot of fun, but this cannot possibly be a 365 daily??
