Is that a Vtec or a SR20?

In a roundie or Clubby?

Either way you're in for a hell of a lot of pain right there, starting with a lengthening of the front of the mini. :shock:

Yeah you should be done in couple of weeks... :lol: :lol: Actually here's a question which is easier a GTI conversion or a Starlet. I think the GTI but haven't done one so...

basically i got the motor for under a grand, that was a private sale from a change of heart (well for the mini that is)
no mounts, just motor, box and all that crap needed to run it.
the rest is hard work.
ask whitestrip63 for his gti.. its for sale

nice mini..
did you do the metallic black urself?
I am going to respray my mini in the standard black (origional colour... tone i mean) and was thinking of doing the metallic.
Is it worth it? You mini looks tops, makes me think it is worth the effort.

are they 12' rims?
