Erm.
Silly keeping it FWD really, as would be a 9 (or certainly 10) second car too probably if i went mid engined, but to me its kind of not really a mini any more then, and i wanted to built the ultimate (for me, obviously everyone likes different things) mini without it stopping it driving like a normal mini.
That wont drive like a mini. Nice project, but he'll probably just pull the shell to peices. |

not being an expert on turbo's but surley that turbo is much to large to work on a 2L engine, even with gas? On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Not to my taste but if he can do it then fair play to him. TBH my ultimate mini would basically be a miglia on the road!! Or possibly a carbon shelled car sorry about the OT |

Because its a friendly website where you can talk about anything and everything. Its more car enthauists than fords, although thats the main core obviously.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
