yeh i surpose its not too bad, but how much would it cost if you was able and skilled enough to have a go yourself. all you would have to pay is materials. which wouldn't be alot rly.

I think if you've got the abilaty to make one yourself then you should give it ago, i know if i would if i could!!!

I think it's down to handling with the wheel size and the 13x7 can catch on your arches even if you use a short rack.

13's don't really work on Mini's because the sidewalls are too stiff/short. 12's are far better, although some of the higher powered ones run 13's, sacrificing some handling in favour of bigger brakes.

All this talk of Mini's is making me want one again. I've looked into it and I can buy a decent Mini and a Corsa C runabout, plus insure them for less than it costs to buy and insure a Clio Sport 172.

I've just got to convince the parents to let me have 2 cars. :(

I'd love to but after speaking with Mrs Fish earlier, it's more sensible and practical to just get the Clio, sort out my debts and save up with a view to get one in a year or so once we're sorted with a house.
