hi mate my mate had widearch mini but sold it to wallace performance get u pis if u want?

[Nath]

alrite carl. does anyone know if you need to extend the front of a clubman mini (not a standered one which is a few inches smaller) to fit a 2.0 16v engine in?im very tempted to do this after a year or so.

supernova m8 i dont want your piss lol but pics would be good.

[epo]

alright mate welcome back :wink:

[DrivingSpanner]

well i dont know about an XE in a mini but the civic Type R engine and gearbox will fit inside a clubman without any body mods at all, the strandard mini needs stretching by a couple of inches to do it tho....

Nigh on any Vaux engine will go in EG: V6, C20 LET or a good old XE.

[Philsutton]

i think you can buy the sub frames for the xes so it just bolts straight in

[Adam]

How do, welcome back. Looks like you got a shed load of work to do :D

[Nath]

cheers guys and gals. just ordered my new door hinges,slam panels etc so i can fit the car together so its ready for the re-spray. not a bad mini but im a clubman man myself not that keen on the regular mini shape (the other mini in the pic).
