Hi guys,

Hello from New Zealand, Pretty cool site you have here!

I have a Canadian Ex Works Mini Racecar that was bought out to NZ in the late 1970's. It was campaigned by Abingdon Motors in Vancover and won the Western Canadian Saloon Car Championship 2 years running as part of a two car team. Car was originally pearl white with Abingdon Motors accross the top 1/3 of front windscreen.

It is an April 1960 shell (one of the lightweight shells from the first 2 years)

I bought the car about 11 years ago, with a 1430cc engine with a Richard Longman inclined value head on it.

It is now running a 1370cc 5 port engine with a large Ball bearing Garrett turbo off the last of the Z31 3.0L V6 300zx (single turbo) with a custom intercooler and a HIF6 turbo carb from a 2.0L MG Montego

Approx 200hp on 17psi, lots of fun!

PS. Car will be for sale shortly

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

Yeah, its not two bad, but it doesnt need a heater *wink* It has a 5" x 3" oval pipe right off the back of the turbo, then tapers down to a 3" pipe after about 1 foot then 3" straight pipe thru the car (which is inside a 4" pipe for the bit inside the car. No mufflers, turbos arnt that noisey.

Thanks,

Yeah it has a fair few susp mods, as well as the guards cut up quite a bit, and tubbed in the rear to get it that low on the 13's
