My first 998 went a month after i bought the car, then my seconed 998 went out in a worse way. now its time to upgrade. 1275 bored 40 over(1310?) with twin 1 1/2in carbs, 286 cam, alloy head, 1.5 rockers, 3.64 FD, lightned flywheel and backplate, new exhaust etc... hoping to have the motor done by early december. and ive only had it since last december...

Welcome to the forum! So what happened with the 998's?
Welcome!
firts one blow a headgasket and we thought we torched it, but we didnt, but we decided to replace it with another 998, then that one had what we thought was a wrist pin knock but one day started knocking REALLY loud and it ended up being a rod knock :'(
Ahh. Well I see you didn't waste time by beating one of my scores in the arcade. :)
haha yeah i just had to get one top score on there ;D

481- ROFLMAO!!!! :D

PLEASE DONT BURN ME!!!!! im a mini lover like everyone else!!!!!
There will be no burning on my website. :)
good, my mom would just hate to see that haha. the burning of her son because of some mini re-vin haters ;D
LOL! I'd have to be burned too :( But all of the re-vin haters in their 850s could never catch me in my 1.3 MPI!!! MMMUAHAHAHAHAH!! ;D
Never really understood the hatred toward revins. They act like they aren't real minis or something.
My '99 has all the rattles/creaks/road noise like my '68 did just not as loud. I feel like the people that don't like them probably haven't ridden in/driven one. I think if they would give them a chance they would realize that they are in fact Minis, and have the same amount of character as the older ones. I'd be willing to give any of the haters a ride in mine. If they still hate it after the ride....they have pyschological issues.
Let's face it, they just plain have psychological issues.
:D
ive never driven an 850cc. ive had two 998cc and now building a super HOT 1310. my builder almost has all the parts. the aluminum head is oh so sweet. anyone who doesnt like an original mini has psychological issues! ;)
Happy 18th Bday. :)
