Hi everybody,
i am Chris from bavaria, and i hope this excuses my rather bad english writing..
This is my first post in this forum, but i follow this forum a long long time now. It was since i decided to build a ProMotive bike engined Mini.
I started my project about a year ago now. At first some facts about my "original Mini".
It is (was) a 1992 1.3l carburated Mini, edition named "Black Magic".
Now i put the in germany Called RN01 Yamaha R1 engine from 1999 in it.
I want to post some pictures of my built, because the forum was a great help for me in build up my car, and i got much help and ideas from it.
I have got many many pictures taken of my car, so i don´t know what to post.
Firstly one of the finished car.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
thank you very much.I´m glad that you like it.
I have long considered which engine conversion i would like to do. I thought the honda would be a good desicion too, but i thought it would be a lot more of work to do. But the Pro-mo was enouth too
Small Car needs a small engine! It´s like downsizing from 1300 to 1000ccm.
I have enough pictures to post, but i didn´t know where to start...
So i take a few of the finished car.
Regards
Chris

Against the noise..... 
!!
After a few kilometers of testdriving (without earplugs) i started the fight against the noise.
It´s really really loud inside of the car, so i firstly decided to put bitumen into the car, and insulation mat in the bonnet.
I think the Bastuck exhaust system isn´t the best choice in reducing the loudness.

Chris

What's it like to drive apart from that!? I have no. 32 and worried it's not going to live upto expectations having put so much time and money in! Sure it will be fine, what's it like getting away off the line?

Hi,
unfortunately i didn`t have the possibility to drive very long, because i firstly need the permission for a legal drive on german roads
...
It´s a new driving experience and very interesting for shure.
Driving a mini is already getting off the line, but i think it´s a big difference to have a bike engined one. So the people are very confused in seeing a car with the sound of a motorbike.
I also hope beeing not disappointed of my car, because it was indeed very expensive. But i don`t think so!

Thank you.
I used the 6piston fixed caliper brake system from Tarox breaks. It fits perfectly under my 13" Rims. I think they fit under 12" too.
