There is a mini out there with a 3SGTE engine in the boot!!

How would you keep it in a straight line?

God knows. Stabilisers, maybe?!

I had one of them in a Clubman van shell absolutely mental but then blew it up and had a 1.8 honda vtec from a civic type R dropped in

as for brakes 16 inch alloys with some majorly rolled arches and 6 pot calipers on big disks 0-60 in sub 5.5 is bloody scary!


Vauxhall redtop engines from the Astra GTE were also quite popular but the most popular conversion at the mo is 1300 huyabusa turbo RWD conversions

Your old car is still on the road you might be pleased to hear

As is my old Mini B586 JPM ! They never die
I love Minis, if I had the room I'd have another, a 1275 with fat 10" wheels and lots of chrome

Here's my old Mini, I did a ground up rebuild on that thing, stripped it to a bare shell and fitted new everything along with new panels before having a bare metal 2 pack respray in Ford radiant red - then fitted electric windows/central locking, leather seats and new carpets. Was a spangly car
