Cause i want the mini to handle like a mini, and cause ive already got the nova.

Ultimately would be quicker if i built a ligthweight mid engiend mini, but TBH if i was going to do anything to make the engine quicker it would be sell it and use a V8 instead, its not always about the most sensible options, im just putting together cars that interest me, i know there are better things i could do pound for pound if i was only worried about the results and not pandering to my own tastes.
