man I can't wait to get my first mini and then get someone to put in a cg13 for me (Not got the skill to do it myself or the tools!). Hoping I can have a turbo fitted at some point after too.

 

great work so far! must be great to hear it running after all that time!

Ok Its still here and another (albeit small) update with it up and briefly running ive gotten an exhaust manifold made up from matt on here (fusion fabrications) and after getting the clearances sorted its on the mini and looking fantastic!

Not sure if beetles will be frowned on here, dont chase me with pitchforks im mostly mini!

Nice manifold. Is it going to fit behind the grille ?

[lawrence]

Lush manifold. What size Allen bolts did you use mate?

[StewartB]

Artstu it should but it is close, but I'm going to change to a clubby front so it looks a bit more aggressive.

Laurence they are m8 1.25 with allen 6mm head if I remember correctly.

[Artstu]

I did wonder if you were going with a Clubman front. I think Fusion may have to revise the design for a round nose though.

Possibly, I've trial fitted my roundnose and it was close but not touching but that was with rough fitment. Other option would be a 90mm extended front but clubman will do for me!

[thelegg]

Clubman over 90mm extended any day

[matty...]

Stewart, how much block clearance is there now? If there is room to move it closer to give more clearance on the front that is easier enough to do.
