RWD CVH Turbo Powered Mini
Has anyone got any clues to who has done this, ive seen a bright green one, round here a couple of years ago.
I would love to know if the shell is still around or how much it actually cost the bloke to weld the front end into the back of it!!??
Anyone with any info or ideas?

There was one advertised on ebay a little while ago.. apparently had a cvh turbo in at one point, but was changed to a XR2 engine when it went.. not sure where it is now though

Yeah seen that one about a long while ago.
Its been done a couple of times I think,
Have just seen one on an Aussie site, with a Hyabusa engine in the back!
Think a 250bhp CVH lump would be better though, do you think?

If its the local one,,,then yes its my mate Stu
Its VOR at the moment (again)
I'm not too sure what it should be running at the end of the overhaul
Estimating at the moment for aorund 600BHP (ish)
The thing was also running NOS when he took me out in it up southend!
He took me for a lil spin and I nearly poo'd me thong without the NOS on when we went round again and he floored it,,,OMG put it this way I've never got scared in a car from excitment before!!!!! This time I DID!!!!!
I got out the car and I was shaking!!
His STILL waiting for his new gearbox to come over from the states,,,which is taking forever and he recently visited Kentuky (sp,,,lol) to collect his new pistons
Will be about hopefully by the summer this year
He'll (fingers crossed) be coming to Donny South with us all and running then

Thanks Nikki!
Cool, Well sounds like hes got an awesome little motor there!!
Any ideas where he got the shell done? Or how much it cost him?
