good to hear a fellow mini lover. they are doing all sorts will minis nowadays bike engines, vauxhalls , and vtec which seems to be the engine of choice for most. havent seen many cosworths though which i why i started mine, its good to be different.
before i started mine i was toying with using the honda s2000 engine and gearbox its got a six speed box and 250bhp standard but the bloke in the scapy wanted to much for the donnar car, glad i didnt now.

I think every one loves a mini mate, I grew up on an A-series lol

Clubman's my fave though

yeh agree with doing something new and the V-tec is widely used but no one from what we could find had fitted a 2.2 V-tec as they said it was to big lol we were gona mate it to a 1.6 box, imagine the ratio

will defo do another one day though, look forward to getting a chance at seeing this in the metal

Default finally an update

hi there everyone. have been doing little bits on the car but nothing like i wanted to get done time a bit sparse at the mo.
all the little bits add up though. fitted the diff and drive shafts plumbed brakes in and just waiting to bleed them up, will be Saturday hopefully.
added a few trick bits to the brakes a bias gauge a line lock an a bias valve to adjust the back brakes for track / road.
also made up a handbrake cable out of two sierra cables.

master cylinders pipe work in engine bay.


more pipe work



front strut setup



line lock nice and close at hand.


bias valve just for the back brakes.




drive shaft in place ready to rumble.





you dont often see one of these under a mini.










not much room under the wheel for the caliper.








more updates next week me hopes
