Hello from R56 and R1 mini owner...

Hi,

New to your forum, I am a long time mini nut...Currently own a 1978 Austin Mini R1 and a 2012 R56 MCS...

Look forward to contributing and gaining knowledge from the members on the site.

I am from the UK and have lived in the GTA Ontario Canada for 27 years now...

Regards...

I think they call carb/filter set up "AWESOME"! Wow. Total drool mode here. I love original Mini's and this one is over the top.

One of the reasons why the name Austin seems to be starting to stick to my Roadster, too.

The carb setup is from the Yamaha R1... Its a 2002 so carburated, (4 off) and I had the K&N filter provided from Promotive in the UK...Its running 150 hp and screams ...its a total blast...due the the high revving engine.
