project car for the summer new engine fitted and new hood still to be made!

 

Cool! I'd love a Mini to mess with .
What engine have you fitted?

 

currently just a teeny weeny 1 litre but big plans for the future eigther 1.3 turbo or maybe a gte16v engine.

 

Not a fan of the cab unless it's a Lamm, but then you wouldn't mess with one of those

GTE16v engine??? A vauxhall???

 

yes guy down the road has a mini with the gte engine running twin 45's running about 200bhp never seen it out but bet it goes like sh*t off a shovel!

 

AFAIK now one has got a 2.0ltr Vauxhall in a round nose mini without extending the front, my mate is working on one at the moment or you convert the front to a clubman but I wouldn't on a convertable

I used to own a mini with two Yamaha R1 engines in the back - 360bhp

 

well i say fit a 2 litre but would realy require rebuilding the front end in order 4 it to fit.

bet 2 R1 engines made it shift somewhat!!

 

Mine did 0-60 in 3 secs - yes it shifted a bit

 

jesus just slightly then! it's currently a 1.0 but their was a cheap metro turbo in the paper today which i may go and see 2moro!

can imagine it now 130 in a mini convertable anybody?
