i've been curious about an alto conversion for a while.... didn't know they made a 4wd, that puts a whole different light on it....

hmmmm

Isn't Tricky selling the driveline out of one along with a good van shell?

Close - he's selling a Civic Shuttle AWD (whole car - not just drivetrain) with the package.

I blame my dad for my love of minis. I think I was conceived in the back seat of one
I also blame my Dad for me being 6' 1" - not really the optimum height for driving a Mini.

Some of these alto works in Japan have been known to do 12s down the quater mile so yes plenty of potential. I'd try to get a later one if I was doing a conversion though as they had a bigger 660cc instead of the 550cc that this one would be.
There are both single cam and twin cam models and I think some of the later ones were 4 cyl instead of 3 cyl.

I very nearly bought one of those for my conversion, but settled on the honda.... I figured the extra litre(!) of capacity would be better in the long run

but it would be a fun little thing

by the way Trickster, I reckon it might be worth putting it on a honda forum (minus the mini) for a ZC AWD civic

I've been fantasizing about taking my spare civic and ZC motor and making one, but I need front panels for it, time, and at least a little bit of money

Hi Simon,

Well I have the front sheet metal of course.

My preference is for someone to put the AWD mechanical gear, with the ZC engine, into a Mini. And I really hope that someone will take this on and make a go of it.

Like I said I need the space its occupying - but if someone wants to make me an offer for seperate bits.........

Thanks,
Tricky
