heres a pic of the engine bay, a couple of people on here know him ,

Barry_GTi

Awesome!!! I used to build Supercharged Saxo's and love the engine bay in this. If only I could find a Saxo here in New Zealand.......

Nice car, like the MR2 Idea, I had plans to build a mid engined Saxo/106 years ago but I was going to make it properly mid engined with a transxle from a Subaru or VW/Audi and have engine running north/south, but then I fucked off to the other side of the world..........

focusjohn

This projects ace had a few saxos my self but always pref'd the blue oval. The saxo making 321 bhp is saxodaffy of off www.saxperience.com have you joined. What sort of bhp you hoping to make out of this keep up the good work.

muppet

I haven't registered on saxperience but will have to have a look. Saxodaffys looks impressive and I bet it flies along with that sort of power. I am going to be aiming for 300bhp to start with but will probably start to look for more once the car is on the road. Just right now I am just going to concentrate on the fab work etc as theres still loads to do.

lovin ur idea fella

scortpower

yeh his car does fly a long , its surprising how much traction he gets in such a little car.
any way sorry to bring someone elses car into your project.

back on topic

Crowder

i thought i remembered you from the ssc days barry didnt u screw that eat pies dude over or something? lmao

Barry_GTi

Crowder - That was a looooooong story but no I didn't, he fucked about and fucked about and eventually I left the UK and his car was still in Scotland. He changed his mind every bloody day/week about what he wanted, his engine was built 2-3 times and then he decided he didn't want it so sold the engine and wanted it back to standard. Then he was possibly wanting it SC'd........ it just went on and on and ooooonnnnn hahaha.

Two side to every story but I had MANY happy times and customers so I couldn't really care less.........

Thanks to the help of my mate we spent all day yesterday cutting grinding and welding and made some good progress with the project. Heres some pics.





















more to follow.

Heh, funny to see other people doing the same thing at least im not alone, progress coming along well ...

and funnily enough, the guy who made the yaris inspired me to take my visions further...

Had the dream of doing an mr2 turbo in something... and had my mini estate lying around... then on a flight to america i got a mag from gatwick which happened to have the yaris on the cover...

and from then onwards, i've been making a lil project.. and heading for a 450bhp rwd mini estate

web site needs a lot of work yet as havnt had time, but i own : http://www.mr2mini.co.uk

and a thread following the progress is on turbosport...

http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1482484



(not kidnappin thread, just thought id say hello after you posted on the mr2 owners much like i did when i started )




-> aiming for my body work to be complete in a few months, arches being built at the mo...

should be on the road early next year after many thousands, lol

looking forward to following this thread!

Good work so far bud!

Sweet little project mate, I can't wait to see what it turns out like.

Maxwell

i have seen saxodaffys progress thread on saxp and it is impressive.

hope yours goes as well as his!

muppet

I was surprised how similar the conversion we are both doing are being done. Do you have any links to the yaris as I havent seen it. I have heard of a couple minis being done but there doesn't seem to be that much info on the net about them. I used to have a mini with a turbo'd 2.0l 16v vauxhall engine and that was good fun but it was fwd and was too much power/torque for 13" wheels and tyres.

some more upto date pics

why RWD such a small car,wont it handle like a pig?
always nice to see summit diff tho,nice work

muppet

I don't think it'll handle that bad once the right spring poundages have been fitted found. The wheelbase length isnt that different from a MR2 either so its not like its that short.
wheel base
Saxo - 2385mm
MR2 Turbo - 2400mm (so only 1.5cm longer than Saxo)
911 GT3 - 2355mm
Exige - 2300mm
Caterham R500 - 2225mm
TVR Tuscan - 2361mm
