Improving Your Mini Cooper Gas Mileage
by Don Racine

Most engines (and all Minis) use an electric spark to start the burning of the fuel/air mixture which in turn powers the car. If the engine is to run properly this 'electric spark' must happen at the exact right time.

SprintBooster - Improve Throttle Response in your "Other" Vehicle.

SprintBooster changes the throttle response in the low to mid rpm range where cars spend a majority of their time. As a result, your car feels peppier and more powerful.

Mini Cooper Verto Clutch Information

This article has been written owing to the increasing amount of people who ring Mini Spares stating that their 1275cc Injection type Mini will not start after fitting a new clutch, especially when they have purchased the parts from another supplier, usually a motor factoring company, rather than a Mini specialist.. There are 2 types of Pressure plates, namely AP (Automotive Products) and Valeo.

My gauge never moves off of COLD. Then again, it doesn't work either. I have nothing to compare the fan to, it's all I've ever used. I do know my car runs fine and never over heats.

No problem at all Ron. Everyone here knows how busy we are, and how time flies. Thanks for the offer. I may still inquire later for my brother in law's car.

I bought some various parts from Pixie. While installing the starter, I decided it was time to clean up some other parts as well. I used Tamiya model paint called Olive Drab 2. It has worked out great on my block, so I am continuing the color to my bolt on parts.
