Best mini forums
Im curious as to what i sinvolved in fitting a different (car) engine into the front of a mini to get a decent performing car. What are the best
forums to browse?
Picked up a copy of Mini World last week and the white one with V-tec in back looks very nice.
What was involved in the Shogun / Mac#1 mini? Did MAC#1 make new subframes to convert it to indy suspension?
Ive got it in my head that i need a tin top toy as i hardly ever get chance to use the Mac#1, and when i do its a pain moving everything out of way to
get it out of garage. Problem is would want something as fast.
Has a zetec been fitted into a mini before? The idea of rear engine appeals but so does retaining 4 seats and at least a little boot area.

I've got some Mini World mags lying around from a couple of years back, VTEC conversions seems to crop up, just looked at one at it looks v.
tidy, still get to keep 4 seats and has 175bhp ^__^ Toyota starlet turbo engine is on the cover of another mag. Let me know if you want these mags
(free obv.), I've got 5 of them (or I could cut out the pages about engine conversions to save postage weight) they'll get recycled
otherwise

Best site is http://www.16vminiclub.com/
Don't think anyone's done a Zetec but I could be wrong. Plenty of 2.0 litre cavalier engines been put in the back though.
