no firwall cutting if you mod the manifolds, but then each person who does it tries their own ideas.

I always look in the trading section of Mini World just to punish myself by seeing what gets sold over there for nicks. In the most recent one I saw a B16a honda motor/subframe combo and everything you need for 1900 pounds. AUD is looking good against the pound I tell myself. "Put the magazine down ............and walk away........."

Britain has quite a number of VTEC and Vauxhall conversions. I am sure that there are mobs in the UK producing subframe kits for the VTEC/Vauxhall. I am not sure whether this is for the roundnose or clubby. When it comes to conversions unfortunately the clubby is the easiest way to go due to the 3 extra inches (sounds like something my wife told me?) :twisted:

Cheers

I don't like the mobs that sell kits - they make you change the track and the extend the front of a roundie - looks wierd. Doing it yourself means you don't have to make so many compromises - they've gotta cater for bunnies who need detailed instructions on how to pick their noses...

that 16vmini site is good - I've been going through the photo gallery, lots to copy off
