Cooling System
Common to all vehicles
Upgraded to a strengthened cooling system using carefully selected, high-quality Japanese-made parts
Cooling system parts are easily affected by heat and age-related deterioration. When they deteriorate, they can cause coolant leaks, rising water temperatures, and overheating. By replacing and adjusting each component, we restore proper coolant circulation and temperature control.
The Rover Mini was born in the UK, and in Japan’s hot and humid climate the cooling system is easily placed under stress, making overheating more likely. For this reason, Classca upgrades the system using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. Consumables such as a 3-row core radiator and improved or newly developed hoses are replaced.
In addition, the original electric fan thermo switch can vary in operation, so it is replaced with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, activating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at approximately 87 degrees. By keeping the coolant temperature consistent, stable driving performance is maintained even in summer.
The cooling fan blade is also replaced with a reinforced thicker type, as the original blade is thin and easily deforms under heat. This improves the stability of cooling efficiency.

MT Transmission Overhaul
The transmission will be overhauled using high-precision Japanese-made parts for the baulk rings, also known as synchro rings, which are key components that influence shift feel.
The parts were developed by Rebirth Drive, a new business from drivetrain specialist Univance Corporation. Drawing on feedback from Rover Mini professional shop mechanics and users, the team poured in its accumulated know-how, repeated fine adjustments in 1/100 mm increments, and completed the parts through extensive prototyping and verification.
They deliver a smooth, pleasant operation and an unprecedented shift feel.
Suspension
When suspension components deteriorate, driving stability can decrease and noise or vibration can increase. By inspecting each joint, bearing, and suspension component and replacing worn parts, we restore proper suspension movement.
On this vehicle, the lower arm bushes will be replaced. Deterioration of the lower arm bushes can lead to looseness, noise, and reduced driving stability. Removing the deteriorated rubber bushes and replacing them with new ones stabilizes suspension movement.
Parts Scheduled for Replacement
Classca-selected parts
- Lower arm bush
- Tension rod bush
Engine Area
Deteriorated parts can cause oil leaks and engine running issues. This maintenance replaces and adjusts worn parts to restore proper engine operation.
Parts Scheduled for Replacement
Classca-selected parts
- Spark plugs
- High-tension leads ABR MAGNECOR
- Upper steady bush
Clutch
This maintenance replaces worn clutch hydraulic components and consumables, restoring clutch operation to proper condition.
Parts Scheduled for Replacement
Classca-selected parts
- Release cylinder Borg & Beck
- Clutch release inner kit
Brakes
Wear and age-related deterioration can reduce braking force or cause noise. Worn parts are replaced to restore proper brake operation.
Japanese-made rubber cups are used in the rear wheel cylinders as a measure to reduce brake fluid leakage compared with genuine parts.
Parts Scheduled for Replacement
- Wheel cylinders
- Brake fluid
- Brake cleaner
Fluids and Other Consumables
Scheduled for Replacement or Refill
- Engine oil
- Drain gasket
- Oil filter
- Battery
