hi mearcat.i would just like to say thanks for all the imformation i got from ur build on ausmini.that is a nice car that you have.im a huge fan but cant get registered for some reason.thanks for the inspiration.philip

You're probably confusing someone's car with mine. Mine's only getting blasting as we speak. Although, yes, there are some nice builds here in Oz though.

nice thread, i´ve got a GT with this conversion too!

[gtmini]

I can't believe how neat some of these conversions are! I did a similar conversion a few years ago, standard 4E-FTE in a roundnose. It was so tight I had to grind a few mm out of the grill for clearance!

As if that wasn't hard enough, I recently upgraded to a TD04 setup and a clubman front. It now runs about 200whp and is a really nice drive. Launch control etc, thanks to emanage ultimate, adds to the fun!





Good luck to everyone with their projects

^^ im in love . 4EFTE power is the way forward gotta love the lil starlet engines although they are becoming common as muck chav racer cars but the engines as said can take some hammer

[scoticus]

This is fanastic!

you`ve given me an idea....... my project has to use this engine!


how do you get it upto 300 bhp??

[minidream94]

use an mr2 engine and tweek that, they easily take 300bhp +

[daveeeeee]

glanza mini your car looks wicked. Love the white wheel look

[giacomo]

is there any more pictures of the round nose one? what it looks like from the front?

anyone whats it like if you use a fibreglass clubman front? anyone make the subframes?

[minidream94]

Love this conversion, if i still had a mini it would either be this conversion or a micra turbo that i would go for. My mate, chrisg10 is about to do this conversion with my help so should be a good learning curve.

Ive also got a mate with a GT turbo, hes got a td04 turbo on it aswell and thats making about 250 ish bhp, he took me out in it and (on private roads of course) got upto 142mph

Wonder if it will mount to a rwd box ;)

[ChrisG10]

Yeah i have an engine sat here ready for the little red mini in my sig!
Just have to find some time as i got to build my starlet engine up!
But for 150 quid not bad!

It's been a while since i've posted but we have since completed our TOYOTA 4EFTE powered roundnose mini.
It is definitely not as straight-forward as you may think, to have it well executed almost everything must be re-located.
Our build diary for this install will be up soon, here's a teaser pic:
