I was lucky enough to meet john cooper when i was about 11 in the 90s , he signed a catalogue for me. It made a lasting impression. I can honestly say that im not sure it gets much better than the last few minutes of this video. A sunny day , clear road , twin su's on a brg mini and a john coopers garages steering wheel. Your a very lucky man keith. Much love and i cannot wait to watch this restoration.
That mini has real grunt 😎 when you smoked that yaris 👌🏻🤟🏻. Those twin carbs look sweet in the engine bay.
sounds amazing, and very quick too!
What a beautiful sounding mini
Would love a video of you setting up and tuning the carbs to get it running perfectly. Maybe setting timing too?
That motor pulls very strongly for a 1 litre Keith!
Sounds great Keith, a pocket rocket on steroids.
Sounds great 👍
Can I ask how adding twin su’s changed the performance on the 998? As I too have a 998 and like the idea of twins. Thanks
A few free miles of motoring by not having the speedo drive connected 😀 Good for the resale value.
it's already a high mileage car so probably won't make much difference LOL
Nice drive that. I've done a drive myself when on the road you should see it.
I will check it out 👍
@@classicminiworkshop you can share it when you film that racing green mini. At the end of my film I've involved who inspired me to drive my car.
Sounds good
Love the t shirt 😂
Sounds great! I have twin carbs on my 1981 Saab 900. Wonderful burble from the exhaust!
Keith when you broke down just down your lane how did you magically back up to your house?
It's down hill so I just let it roll back then I used the starter motor in 1st gear to move it forward
That sounds so good and looks really nippy for a 1 litre…
Random mini question. What are your thoughts on Hi-Lo kits?? I need to replace all the cones on my Mpi (which is running 10” wheels). Suspension is standard a part from koni gas adjust dampers. Thinking that whilst I’m changing the cones I could put a Hi-Lo kit on it but would be a waste of £100 for a full kit? (Proper mini spares kit)
Yes, 100% fit the Hi-Lo kit.
👌
two carbs increase petrol consumption. i like single carb better. im no fool
If the carbs are setup right it shouldn't make a great deal of difference. The engine still needs the right mixture ratio be it 1 carb or 2
Wow. Impressive performance for a 1 litre! Other than the carbs, what other mods, headwork? Exhaust?
Yes its has a stage 3 head and LCB exhaust system as well as 1.5 ratio roller rockers
Sounds fantastic Keith. Brings back fond memories of my Cooper S............................. which I wish I had never sold!!!
5:55 so many lost bolts, making work for some recovery companies? 🤣 50 yard road test? couldn't have happened to a nicer guy pmsl
If you look closely you will notice I had a load of tools (just in case) in the passenger footwell
Sounds great,what size engine,you said 1 liter,998,1071,1275 I have a 67mk1 cooper with a 998 twin SU 1 1/4
Hi, its a 998cc
Looking good for the project. I will let you know if mine sounds like yours. I must admit, I think the car looks better without a gutter trim.
I don't like silver gutter trims. Far too blingy! I will put a black one back on
Yeah fir.., oh not first. 😂 Paul will be pleased I held off commenting 1st today. I felt guilty being first twice in a row. Keith what a great transformation having the twins working. It made such a difference even body parts were not holding up to the g-force. Good to see you today too albeit briefly whilst you were judging.
1st, get in lol. Will upset rrcreation signs lol
Well done - I’m last to the party today.
Should have been inch and half
Not on a 998? The Cooper conversion kits were definitely 1 1/4". The 1275s were 1 1/2"
British Racing Green is my favourite colour and the A-Series sounds great with twin SU carbs on it.
Sounds great kieth. I particularly enjoyed the super pursuit mode in the video
Hiya Keith-now that sounds good!! Great video, keep well.
Sounds brilliant Keith! And a bargain too
You broke down, call the Rac did we? lol......................you didn't breakdown really did you, just winding me up 😁
Genuine breakdown. Lucky I was only 50ft from home LOL
Have you ever done the BMW K-Series head conversion before?
Not yet!
Looks and sounds like it goes really well mate! Picks up nice and quickly!
Thanks 👍 I'm well pleased with it
ah the beautiful sound of Twins
Can the 998cc engine be bored out to 1275cc?
No, unfortunately not
2nd ! Lol good to speak to you today, the racing green looks to be a winner 👍
As Keith says.......your the first looser 😆
@@paulrobinson3528 I was actually first but edited the post and you snuck in ! Lol 😂
