Ahh, but you can hide bigger engines under a clubby front...
The 2ltr Vauxhall (holden) engine convertion will just fit under a clubby front, makes for a genuine 200bhp street sleeper..
You had to strech the round nose and it looked a bit odd


yeah yeah...this is about the only compelling reason for getting a clubman...as far as i am concerned...but ya can make it work with roundies and as such i am gonna stick with em :)

Have to admit if it was a straight choice I would go round nose, from memory the mini tally is something like 12 roundnose to 1 clubby, and only bought the clubby for the S brakes it had!
But over here looks like its going to be a clubby van. Want the extra space for bikes.

i like roundies not only coz (in my opinion atleast) they look better...but they are also less common...atleast around brisbane...

not sure...but you would expect that since they (roundies) are older there would be less of them around...combination of neglect, and age kills cars pretty quickly :)

i may not get to that much power...may end up being too much...but i atleast aim for the same sorta grunt brad's outputs :) dean (baracade) is going pretty nuts with his...he's aiming for 350hp i believe...not sure if that's at the wheels or not...but i suspect it is :)
