Hi all,
I have just recently had a B16A vtec put in my 1980 clubman. I would like to post some pictures but not being that literate with computers I don't know how to. Would someone out there do it for me if iI send them via e-mail? There is still a lot of work to do on the mini but it has the wheels on now and it has taken 2 years to get this far. Hopefully things will speed up now and it will soon be on the road
Cheers, Paul
NZ.

The cradle was made to fit a vtec engine into a round nosed mini without extending the front. The inlet manifold had to be cut to fit. I have an aoutofashion body kit. It has hi - low suspension with springs and spax shocks. It has metro turbo 4 pot vented disc brakes. I will use a links computer to run the engine.

You can but if you don't NEED to it's alot of hassle for not a great deal of gain.
