i guess so....

so does that mean if i put a xsi engine into a mini, both having crappy electrics or something that doesnt work.... does that make it twice a mini or only half a mini :?

HAHAHA :lol:

I think if you mix French electrics with English electrics you may as well just wrap yourself in toilet paper and set fire to yourself. You know you;d end up in a burning inferno sooner or later anyway :lol:
