Cooling System

Common to all vehicles

Updated to a strengthened cooling-system specification using carefully selected, high-quality Japanese-made parts

Cooling-system components are easily affected by heat and age-related deterioration. When they degrade, they can cause coolant leaks, rising water temperature, 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 prone to extra stress and overheating. For this reason, Classca upgrades performance using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. We replace consumable parts such as a 3-core radiator and improved or newly developed hoses.

In addition, the factory thermo switch for the electric fan can be inconsistent in operation, so it is replaced with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, operating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at approximately 87 degrees. By keeping the coolant temperature consistent, the vehicle maintains stable driving performance even in summer.

Furthermore, the factory cooling fan blade is thin and easily deforms under heat, so it is replaced with a reinforced, thicker type to improve the stability of cooling efficiency.

  • 3-core radiator
  • Radiator cap
  • Upper hose
  • Lower hose
  • Conversion hose
  • Heater hose

Suspension

When suspension components deteriorate, they can lead to reduced driving stability, abnormal noises, and increased vibration. By inspecting joints, bearings, and suspension components and replacing worn parts, we restore proper suspension movement.

For this vehicle, the lower arm bushes and tension rod bushes will be replaced. Deterioration can cause looseness in the suspension, abnormal noises, and reduced driving stability. Removing the degraded rubber bushes and replacing them with new ones stabilizes suspension movement.

Parts planned for replacement Classca-selected parts
  • Lower arm bush
  • Tension rod bush
  • Suspension joint

Drivetrain & Undercarriage

Deterioration of drivetrain components, mounts, and seals can cause vibration, abnormal noises, and oil leaks. This maintenance replaces worn parts to restore proper drive transmission and undercarriage movement.

Parts planned for replacement Classca-selected parts
  • Outer CV joint boot
  • Inner CV joint boot
  • Differential side oil seal
  • Striking oil seal
  • Dust boot

Exhaust System

Exhaust-system components are easily affected by high temperatures, vibration, and age-related deterioration. When they degrade, they can cause exhaust leaks, abnormal noises, and reduced exhaust efficiency. We check the condition of the muffler, pipes, gaskets, and mounting components, and replace worn parts to restore proper exhaust flow and sealing.

For this vehicle, the catalytic converter will be replaced. As internal deterioration reduces exhaust purification performance, it will be replaced with a new part to normalize exhaust treatment.

Parts planned for replacement
  • Catalytic converter

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 planned for replacement Classca-selected parts
  • Genuine air cleaner
  • Vacuum joint
  • Spark plugs
  • Rocker cover gasket & seal set

Clutch

This maintenance replaces worn clutch hydraulic and consumable parts to restore proper clutch operation.

Parts planned for replacement Classca-selected parts
  • Clutch master cylinder
  • Clutch master inner kit
  • Master base gasket
  • Rod pin & snap pin S

Brakes

Wear and age-related deterioration of components can cause reduced braking force and abnormal noises. By replacing worn parts, we restore proper brake operation.

Japanese-made rubber cups are used in the rear wheel cylinders as a countermeasure to reduce brake fluid leakage compared with genuine parts.

For this vehicle, the brake master cylinder will be replaced. As poor hydraulic pressure generation affects braking performance, it will be replaced to restore braking force.

Parts planned for replacement
  • Wheel cylinders
  • Brake master cylinder
  • Caliper seal kit (12-inch)
  • Caliper joint seal
  • Stainless pistons
  • Pads (12-inch) Borg & Beck
  • Rotors (12-inch)
  • Retaining pins
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake cleaner

Additives & Other Consumables

Planned replacement/replenishment
  • Engine oil
  • Drain gasket

Upgrade

Upgrade Pack

Included in vehicle price

In addition to Basic Maintenance, we carry out preventive repairs and maintenance as well as upgrades using performance-enhancing parts developed in Japan. This menu prepares the vehicle for more reassuring, long-term ownership.

Suspension

Front shock absorbers
The front shock absorbers will be replaced. When shocks deteriorate, vibration becomes harder to control, reducing ride comfort and stability. Replacing them with new parts restores firm control of front-wheel movement.
Rear shock absorbers
The rear shock absorbers will be replaced. Deterioration can increase body movement and instability. Replacement restores rear stability and ride comfort.
Rebound rubber

Drivetrain & Undercarriage

Engine mounts
The engine mounts will be replaced. Deterioration of the rubber increases engine movement and vibration. Replacing them with new parts stabilizes engine support.

Exhaust System

Exhaust down tube
The exhaust down tube will be replaced. Corrosion and deterioration of the exhaust pipe can cause exhaust leaks, so it will be replaced with a new part to maintain proper exhaust flow.
Catalytic converter gasket
The catalytic converter gasket will be replaced. Deterioration can cause exhaust leaks, so the gasket will be replaced to restore sealing at the connection.
Manifold gasket
The manifold gasket will be replaced. To prevent exhaust leakage from the connection, the gasket will be replaced to ensure proper sealing.
Exhaust manifold assembly

Engine Area

High-tension leads ABR MAGNECOR
The high-tension leads (ABR MAGNECOR) will be replaced. Age-related deterioration reduces ignition energy transfer efficiency and can cause misfires or engine running issues. Replacing them with high-quality new ABR MAGNECOR leads improves stable ignition performance.
Chain case gasket
The chain case gasket and oil seal will be replaced. Deterioration can cause oil leaks, so the components will be disassembled and the seals replaced to restore proper sealing.
Chain slider pad
The chain slider pad will be replaced. Wear can make chain contact and movement unstable, causing noise and further wear, so the part will be replaced to stabilize movement.
Chain case oil seal

Fuel System

Fuel strainer SPi
The fuel strainer (SPi) will be replaced. Accumulated dirt and impurities in the fuel can destabilize fuel flow and cause engine running issues, so the part will be replaced to restore proper fuel supply.

Clutch

Hose & gasket
The hose and gasket will be replaced. To prevent hydraulic leakage caused by deterioration, they will be replaced to restore sealing.
Release cylinder Borg & Beck
The release cylinder will be replaced. Since it can cause poor clutch disengagement, replacement ensures reliable operation.
Clutch release inner kit
The clutch release inner kit will be replaced with a high-quality Japanese-made item. The internal consumable parts will be replaced to restore normal hydraulic operation.
Clutch fluid
The clutch fluid will be replaced. Fluid can absorb moisture and deteriorate, making hydraulic pressure transfer unstable and affecting clutch operation. Replacing it with new fluid restores proper hydraulic transfer.
