Anyway Carl(fast), what's the point in using stuff that is designed properly and works properly. We're British, we have to start with something that is totally shit (like a Mini and an A-series) then try and make it half decent.

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:

I'm vary happy with my A series if it wasn't for the clutch and gearbox being the weak link. That's the only thing that would coax me away from it. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

main reason I'm thinking about moving away from the a series is a 5 speed box. Every day is a school day ...........

*Apparently* there is someone around where I live that adapts A series blocks to some form of moderish Ford gearbox. I don't know what sort of truth is in it but people keep telling me this. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

You've gotta bear in mind the mini will have smaller wheels than the donor car and the benifits of 5 speed box are suddenly gone! If your careful though and pick an engine such as a vauxhall (and probably loads more) there is big choice of gearboxes with FD's that are more suited to the minis small wheels Matt |

*faints* *comes round* whats wrong with the a series? i mean its no fun if its easy right? and yes it does have to be this much fun nothing wrong with it. its just and im getting a little fed up of spending money and stripping engine or gearbox every year etc also i spend all day fixing cars so its a bit rubbish to spend all weekend/evening doing it as well if you get what i mean. i also want to do a few further runs/shows in the mini and want quietness and reliability. i work for toyota so a toyota seem the way to go. starlet turbo has 130 bananas standard, i dont imagine itd take much to get a bit more. left standard and looked after i could fit it and forget it well unlesss im unlucky p.s this is what makes TM good no biasdness just good opinion 
no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.
