this should be posted here in the engine conversions section.
http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=23

what kind/year/model laser engine are you talking about?

i havent heard of anyone using a laser engine in a mini..

people tend to use performance engines in minis when doing conversions.

Working towards it....

I've got a BP-T 1.8l DOHC Turbo out of a KH Laser TX-3 4WD. Now just to be different I'm determined to do something with it. It wont be a quick build though :( Finances/Free Time/Family Commitments etc.

Once I actually start I'll be posting all!

EDIT: Still thinking abut the 4WD option too. :shock: :shock:

Cheers,

Dicko

Yoda to Dicko: "There is no try, only do!! Think not, try not, only do Dicko, or do not!! That is the way of the Jedi Master"

In this case, substitute Jedi for 'Conversion'..........

Um, this is really freaky but your the 2nd person that has quoted that exact line to me this week. The other was on a totally unrelated topic.

Should I be worried :shock:

Does that mean you have committed to the 4WD option Dicko?

I hope so, and so does Yoda! :D
