[Sloth]

discuss....

[craig green]

Jeez. People do these things just to prove a point.

I've seen a V8 in a MINI. Tighter still.

[Jack]

A V6 in a Nova will be poo, but in a Mini surely it will be completely, utterly, useless

Loving how its turned into the usual project though. Grand ideas, a year of building and bodging, then as soon as its on the road (and no doubt he realises what a turd he's built), its straight up for sale!

Almost reminds of me a black V6 nova lol

[~~joycey~~]

Mmmmm nice subframe lol

[Sloth]

lol ive spoke to him on another site, and he says it was amazing in a straight line, but corners were hectic, tho it was xe'd beforehand. hes now doing a 2.0 8v turbo one....
he ran/runs www.16vminishop.co.uk (http://www.16vminishop.co.uk)

[Gashgusher]

oh dear oh dear, some people just make me scratch my head

the only lumps id drop in a mini would be a vtec (yo!) or a 1300 busa

[Ben]

That the guy been on MIG for years? (v6mini?)

Rich C20LETMini built a turbo and quite a few e16se mini's one of which was on the Jov stand at PV few years back.

[AlexW]

Ive got a V6 in my shed that is from a mini, although it was RWD and totaly custom floor/rear end, shame that it never really saw the road

[Sloth]

[Andy_L]

:wall::tumble::cuckoo:

Sorry I always forget about the icons. Have you any idea how bad the Allegro was? Jack it up and the windscreen falls out.

[Sloth]

wrong, jack it in the wrong place and the read screen falls out. the maxi was 10 years ahead of its time, but stunted by b.l money men...

[burgo]

a v6 is nothing

http://www.spagweb.com/v8mini/

thats where its at

[djshaggeh]

^My mate owns the yellow one on the left.

Its currently being rebuilt. Its 200 bhp and its not too scary, infact it drives very well considering.

[Sloth]

ive seen the vids on yootoob, it torque steers like a coont!!

[djshaggeh]

Ive been in it and as I said its not too bad :)

[Sloth]

http://www.spagweb.com/v8mini/doris/05/06_torquesteer/index.htm

i suggest ya read that page....

[djshaggeh]

I suggest you go outside and get a life.

that was written about 2 years ago.

[burgo]

ha ha ha ^^^^ +rep

[Sloth]

well done, you can read a date... point being, it obviously doesnt handle and the stills and vids proove it.

[burgo]

well done, you can read a date... point being, it obviously doesnt handle and the stills and vids proove it.sloth purhaps you didnt read the post. he knows the owner and has seen the car for himself!!! yet you are more qualified to judge how it drives? hmmm think not

[Sloth]

and like ive said, the vids show it to handle and drive like hell, and its on the owner and builders site. i know what i trust...

[burgo]

but he also said that was written two years ago!! dont you think the owner may have addressed a few of the handling issues by now?

[Sloth]

possible but theres no mention, and he basically says hed need to redesign the full front susp to sort it. 10/10 for effort, 5/10 for result.

[djshaggeh]

Jesus sloth, give it up!

[Spudly]

Lmfao lol



Um, read my sig anyone lol

[burgo]

sorry for questioning you rob, i forgot you know everything:roll:

[djshaggeh]

10/10 for effort
