wow thats a really nice mini. probably quick aswell. minis are very light lol it will fly
I think the Mini folk can also get a reversed inlet to make fitting those even easier.

True true, look pretty shet though tbh but theyre useful for turbo'd 1600s

got to be quick though
You can XE a mini you know once you have the subframe ;) Teg Type R conversion is popular to, along with a 1600 V-Tec transplant.

Oh dear that looks terrible, that awful spoiler, bumpers, rear lights, looks a right mess.
Anyway its supposed to be Novas stealing other cars engines, not the other way around, thats not on!

i have to admit i like the red top turbo in the mini known as the vauxhalll mini lol.
you would of thought them kind of engines would of tore the mini in 2 lol
Not really no, as for those kinda conversions, the engines bolt to a subframe, this bolts to the original mini's mounts. So all that happens is the subframe cracks lol
i accually think that looks alright :(
(apart from the rear lights and big exhausts) lol
I was looking through the pictures thinking, hmm the front bumpers not to my taste but it doesnt look too bad.
But then fcuk me i saw the **** end shot and i was like jesus wept thats horrible lol
Theres a normal looking mini round here on ats classics with an R1 carbed XE sat under the bonnet, now thats gotta be an animal!
Heres one from Trax 07 that i spotted on the 200+ club stand.....

Ive got another pic ill post when ya spot why its sooo fast, it took me a few mins to realise when i was looking at it lol
is that another one in the back?? lol
Theres a yellow one local to me, v8 engine.. in the front! fasted mini in the world ill see if i can find the vids on youtube eating a porshe/ferrari lol
It is indeed 10 points to rich, i was standing there talking to the guy and looking round it but you only tend to look at the car itself at first rather than in it, he said i get the "oh fcuk me theres another in the back" reaction from everyone lol
Theyre both pushing 250+ bhp iirc with both XE lumps running big spec builds and throttle bodies, the whol thing is spaceframed with the panels just bolted to the framed chassis!

Aparently hes going even further now, aiming for 1000bhp off gas! Using 2 turbos on the same v8 lol
Jesus thats impressive, what were its quarter times as i couldnt make it out although its gotta be well under 9-10 seconds right?
not to sure, hes had different engines every 5 mins so not sure if that was even his latest. Think he broke 8s but dont know for sure i dont know him personally
Thats ace, an 8 second mini, move over f&f lol
A friend of mine was building a RWD mini using a vectra v6. But ended as when he got it running and rolling, testing it down a private road he was cut off by another driver which put the mini in the ditch :(
I will be getting the V6 now once my brother has finished using it as a mock up.

i agree with burgo i think minis are w**k myself especially when they look like that one!! i hate minis so bad allmost as much as i hate beetles and saxos!!!!
There is a Cav/Calibra V6 powered Mini on MIG. Richie (C20LETMINI) has built a few variants incl 1.6 GTE engines, XE's and LET powered.
