ok...

...I've got my Nissan distributor and my Sigma (Bosch) alternator, what other makes' bits are useable? I see references to Holden bits and possible Pulsar alternators in the Pulsar dizzy thread. - more info pls!

Apart from the obvious BL/BMC/MOWOG bits - duh! :lol:

I'm always on the lookout for parts and spares etc, and the Toowoomba swap meet is this weekend...

...two days of car parts and heatstroke - woohoo!

Gemini starter motor

Also disc brakes can be adapted from Holden Camira & Honda City (Accord too, but more work aparently).

Gemini mags will "sorta" fit Mokes too - 100mm PCD Vs 4" PCD

Seats: Mazda MX-5, Honda, Subaru or most small jap cars can be made to fit
Oh, and get me a thermo fan with shroud :)

Cappuccino engine is a 3cyl 660cc twin cam engine.

Can be made to go VERY fast with new bigger turbo and manifold, exhaust & air filter.

I used to own one and could beat HSV R8's, although once you get over 120 they start to fly by as the engine starts to run out of puff

I wonder if the cappucino turbo engine makes for a viable conversion for the mini..?
Any thoughts Doc?

Well it would fit in I'm pretty sure, but don't expect any torque from it. You have to spin it hard to make it GO.
And a Mini is heavier than the Mighty Boy, which probably weighs only 500Kg dripping wet. :lol:
Here's a pic, courtesy of twincammini... :wink:
