Have you got the throttle pedal conversion lever from chris???
I had too much movement so the pedal has some slack in it before it pulls on the cable but is adjusted for the full throttle via the barrel adjuster
on the throttle cable which is fixed to the throttle bodies.

Probably around 40mpg if you are just driving around on the road without giving it too much.

hi there mark
the mini looks really good, mine has passed ok but he did say there was play in the steering rack (which was brand new) but apart from that it was all
fine, just started to use on the road now and was going to go to the showdown in it but the sprocket cover cracked and i could not get a clutch so not
able to drive. Now welded up and seems fine again. All i can say is that it loud in there when it reaches 1100 rpm, im going to have it all lined up
on a 4 wheel joby tomorrow so should handle better after that. Also need so paint work doing again as its lifting in places!!!!

Hi there Mark
my mini all went through MOT fine and is now on the road, the insurance i got was with Adrian Flux and cost me £650 fully comp which is not as bad as
i thought. Driving the thing is a bit weird and very loud i have not had my camber or toe settings do yet so car is all over the place im just waiting
to get it set up this week. As for performance well is like s**t off a shovel, still got loads to do yet but a least i can use it for the summer
months and then finish off in the winter, would really like to do a track day in it soon. Also appoligies to welderman for jumping in on his thread,
have you any more updates yet on the mini build??

Question? are the mini rear hubs "fused" or welded to the z-cars kit suspension. I'm trying to understand how the mini hub is
fitted to the z-cars kit.

Appreciate that Mark,
That photo of the conversion kit is "bad as hell" as we say in the US. Damn, I want one without the $$cost$$. Probably would cost 9K for
the kit and shipping to the US.
final question? where does the ring gear for the reverse come from - a car? I'm familar with the starter motor /w solinoid

Yep it is from a car but it isnt mounted on a heavy cast flywheel as such, just a thin steel disc to keep the weight down.
£9k would only get you that particular engine with the turbo kit, with out the mounting frame and drivetrain.
Heres the front view with the wopppppping big turbo, good for over 400BHP!!!!
2Litre civic type -R anyone??
