How many different types of 1 ltr 3 cylinder engine did they make?! I have been offered a car less the head and wondered if it was worth going to have a look??
Thanks

I know of and have driven (many times) the carb model...the carb model was fairly gutless (but OK!) would love to have tried the turbo. |

Hi, Not sure I can help you with what to replace in the mini gearbox, that was one of my reasons for doing a conversion in the first place. LSD sounds like good start though. Your conversion sounds like it deserves it's own thread, with lots of pics too. Good Luck Madmorrie |

Hi 9yatah, The gearbox has to be cut down and a new flange welded on to suit daihatsu so all mini stuff can be used

CB70 is an animal of an engine..... whoever does it first and sorts it out well, let me know, i'd be very interested in building one too! light, powerful and takes well to tuning.... miko |
