Well, as well as having a mini hobby I run a business which needs r&d money like any company - which is always hard to justify, so I am gauging interest in the following.

The complete front end from my gold car:-

the worlds first 1380cc K 16v engine

A+ block, running custom machined Omega's
Innocenti rods
MED crank - fully worked
4 bolt centre main
vp2 bearings
ARP bolts
fully balanced to the nth degree
ultraight flywheel/backplate - grey diaphragm AP paddle clutch

fully ported K1100 cylinder head
SC sprint cams
38mm throttle bodies
SC conversion kit
SC t304 manifold
SC "Cyclone" ecu
SC full loom inc all sensors - 3 wires into the car is all it takes!

s/c drops
m/spares clubman gear kit, central pick up
new style Quaife atb diff
JK equel length driveshaft kit


all sitting on:-

titanium subframe
titanium suspension arms
titanium uprights
Protech front coilovers
Quaife driveshaft to suit
all fittings to suit



So all in all a very serious and unique piece of kit and mini history which due to all sorts of issues this year hasn't been used.


I am obviously looking for serious offers - no trades/splits or whatever

pm me with your email if you want picks of any of the bits.

cheers

Well if someone wants to take a big bite at the class c boys Paul and Gavin in 08 this is the motor for it, or its ideal for hillclimb/sprints etc or for going very,very fast on the roads!

I'll pop some pics up

Pics are in the album, any questions let me know

- to replicate the whole front end in its entirety would cost you 10-12k

I'm looking for offers around 6k, the only parts you will need will be discs/calipers and leccy water pump.

6k really is a bargain. I doubt even the DIY boys like Matt / Harry can do it for that price.

Good work on not trying to take the piss, J.

Sounds like a bargain for 6K!

TBH John wouldn't you be better off splitting the subby from the engine?

it is a bargain - just need the right person to want it! - I may have to resort to the bay..shudder!

Matt - the frame is unique as well so quite happy to move the pair together - it could always be sold seperately if needed.

Do you want to swap the subframe for a heavily lightened std one in green?
