which way to go
good morning well after a long few months of wondering im now ready to have the car fully painted but i was wondering when i got up this morning.
austin mini has a honda civic engine fitted..
i wonder if its possiable in having a honda civic type R engine fitted
what would you need ??
id imagine that the body would need strengthing plates
need to build custom engine mounts
and drive shafts/ custom exhausts
forgive my spelling too never been a strong point for me
if it fits in a mini, it'll go in a nova.
yeah pretty much everything youve said, plus
various stitch welding at the front end
mounting points for bigger radiator
throttle cable mods (or is it fly-by-wire ?)
plumb in the clutch pipework, or mod it to cable if poss ?
a suitable fuel pump for that engine
that i can think of... probably a few more things.
you fancy having a go ?
if i had the time / space / money, id love to mount a 1.8 16v towards the back end. RWD
Thats sounds brilliant yeah im toying with the idea. As I want to be different and we all know the vtec engines pretty quick.. well I think
im going to have to price a few bits first an save up for like a yearbut I was wondering if anyone else has done it to a nova as it would be interesting to see what problems they ran into..
the 1.8 engine would be a brilliant idea an rwd even better
Vtec Nova

Holy turd i think its a plan go then... where did u get photos from so I can find the owner
The blue wording I put above the pictures is the linkOriginally Posted by gteben
Ben is this for your Gte ? It's gona be worth a lot more as standard than with a any mods like that if this is just for a toy I can find you a good cheap shell for that
as with all these ideas, you can fit pretty much anything, but you just need specially made mounts, shafts, hoses etc to get it to work. i say go for it
