    As others have said, much kudos for upgrading the R50 engine, be interesting to see the engine reliability if you don't upgrade the con rods etc cause i probably would have done the same thing to my perfect Cooper, just didn't want to take the risk

    What gearbox are you running? A change to the R53 6-speed would be a worthwhile investment for both acceleration and reliability


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Ive got another midland. Going to get the getrag 5 speed next. If finances were 100 % at the time my last midland went, I would have got the 6 speed. However, given the host of other things needed to convert to the sixspeed and the flywheel being heavy i opted for the only option I could afford at the time.

    Ah Ok. Just don't expect the Midlands to last long once you start upping the power!
