then maybe just a 16v head on the midget. although i'm not sure on bonnet clearance


What about a dry sump? that would allow you to lower the engine and give you the clearance & give you plenty of clearance for the head and a lower C of G. Might as well fit a Sierra box whilst your at it. The biggest problem I see with a high power spridget is the rear leaf springs.

By the way who's winning the most cars own challenge at the moment you or Alex?

I would be a bit wary of the red insulation tape on the plenum chamber. I doubt it will hold much boost.What turbo is it running anyway? *smiley*


Which car are you on about?

The Midget is Nat Asp, I think the Mini has a T25.


I know the midget is NA I was having a wee dig at the insulation tape.*oh well*

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Few more pics. took the roof off, sorted a passengar seat, moved the battery so the passengar has somewhere for their feet and also moved the fire extinguisher to get the seat in. plus took all the stickers off and started the slow process of getting the glue off!!!
