Great topic on build there!

wonder how good they'd be turbo'd ;D

Probably pretty horrible because they don't have centre differentials. Put a turbo on either of those and they'd chew the driveline to pieces.

the machining in the first link is better than porn!!

if your going to ruin a mini making it 4wd, you might as well go the whole hog and bung a vtec turbo in there aswell
or before coming back to reality i was looking at the older vr6 4x4 golfs and thinking hmmmmm....
and btw the mazda b6 engine and 323gtr drive train does not fit

Impressive machinining indeed,

If I was going 4x4 I would go this route,

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....

Impressive stuff

There is also Achim's pickup:


But I am pretty sure turboing that would not be a good idea.

I'd rather look at a Sunny GTI-R driveline.
How about a Subaru 555, would that fit under a clubby front?

Edit: Should that be a Subaru Sti? Not really into Subarus.

Dazed and Confused....

I like that stuff in Brocky,s link - I wonder if it will fit under an A35 ?

Yeah all wheel drive a35 be cool ;D

and at least be no traction issues down the strip with all wheel drive ;] you can over come the slow take off with lunch control jobs a gooden

That is what let's a high powered mini down, traction issues, 4wd all the way for me

There is a pickup here in Norway with a turbocharged Swift engine and drivetrain :)

The webside is miniboost.no I think :)

No it's true

Ahh okay would a all wheel drive mini do sub 13's though?

Depends doesn't it, there's s dam sight more chance than 2wd. My current car is 4wd, 380+bhp, guess how much power I can use in 1st gear? Yep, 380bhp consistent 1.8sec 60fts?

Chalk and cheese....

Benny are you also running 18" mile wide tyres? These will have a big bearing on your launch too.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

But also have double the power. There only 225's, my point is, 4 165 tires are a dam site better than 2 when trying to put down 200horses

that fabrication is amasing, but wonder why none of these folk have replaced there solid prop with a tight viscous to relieve some stress from the drivetrain.

Audi A3 1.8 turbo AWD drivetrain anybody? 450bhp, 369lbft.


Must admit, if space/ funds/ time allowed, I'd have a crack at ripping an Impreza WRXSTi to pieces and fitting it in to a (probably spaceframed) Mini.

Why bother going to all the hassle of fitting 4wd running gear. just put an engine at each end and have twice the power...

not road legal...

nicely presented but damn ugly

Why not? Chances are if you chopped the car about enough to put a 4wd system in, you would be in sva territory anyway.

apparently theres somthing about not having a different engine for each axle, at least not running at the same time.
