What did you take the Vtec from? Teg, Prelude, Accord? What size? 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 or 2.3?

PTWR must be nuts. You had it on the RR yet?

Love the Mini! - You selling it by chance?

I've ordered a VW Amarok, arrives in June. That'll be the workhorse. I'll be kitting it out with as much stuff as I can afford too. Might take a while but I'll do it! lol

General cars are 2ltr Petrol Skoda Octavia Estate, Subaru Impreza UK300 Prodrive, Replica Porsche Speedster 356 (built in 1973 and owned by Jeremy Clarkson's wife, Francie Clarkson), Toyota MR2 Turbo which is off the road and has been for years but it was my first nippy car that I owned, and I managed to get it back a couple of years ago so hopefully one day I'll do it back up and have some more fun in it.

I just got rid of an Astra and a Mitzi Spacewagon too. The MRs was moaning about having too many cars around the house lol

If I'm right, looks like a Teg bottom end. Must be pushing 170bhp from a DOHC. Nice & simple to turbo also. Could easy get that to 350bhp. That would be nuts out a FWD lol

...The MRs was moaning about having too many cars around the house lol

I know the feeling Dan. I had 2 transits, 4 cars & a very large car transporter.

Have to use my car for everything, insurance for a van at 21 is oppressively high and I can't get 3rd party cover on other vehicles (You must be 25, "You have 7 years No claims at 24? No 25, no it doesn't matter you've crashed 5 cars and only passed last week, cover's yours!") Like every 21 year old I run the family car too....also partial to a bit off offroading. My Subaru Forester covers all bases but trying to work out racking is troublesome

 

[Newsome3]

It's a 1.6
think it's out of a civic

Thinking about turboing it later in year ( work depending!!)

It was on rolling road dec. produced 178bhp

Goes like mad. All that's inside is two seats and a roll cage

Dan you facy it???

 

[Bubblecraft]

B18c4 out a civic vti then? With a b18c6 head would bring you just over the 200 mark. My bro's 98 spec Teg is in getting mapped just now. Thats just been turbo'd. Should be back tomorrow. Will b a lot of fun. Clean looking mini you got!

I'm looking at getting a vauxhall 2litre red top next if not that then maybe a mk1 golf with either a g60 in it or a 1.8t

 

[Bubblecraft]

I'd take the golf personally. Too many red tops out there...more so stuck in little rusty corsa's.

I've had both but still love the mk1 golf by far!

 

[Bubblecraft]

When I say both, i meant it was a mk1 Astra GTE. God, that was 15 years ago!
