Nope, A series currently.

But the demise of the auto box means a repair bill of over a grand for the box alone, so I'm looking into conversions.

Wow, thats expensive, well I have everything here that you will need for the conversion and it will be a 100+ bhp engine you can play around with and the benefit of 5 gears? It will also fit into a standard round nose mini. The only thing you will need to get for the conversion will be a mpi fuel tank, which will have a return fuel pipe and a manual mini pedal box, which will work with the vauxhall set-up.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately I won't be getting 5 gears, I have to look into converting the transmission to automatic from manual. If that's possible and economical option then great, but the manual boxes aren't an option for me.

Cheers.

Oh ok, well it should be able to be done, as those vauxhall auto boxes can be piced up cheap enough

That really is a good price for all that kit! I abandoned a conversion project myself just over a year ago, but that would be mega in a Clubby estate track day toy with the turbo on it. Good luck with the sale, I surprised there has been no interest at all.

Maybe try the 16v forum? Someone there might snap it up?

Cheers mate, I was going to put it in my clubby estate, but going a-series turbo route

[Skortchio]

Not going to suit my needs unfortunately, seems finding a tough gearbox is harder than I was expecting (and I wasn't expecting it to be easy).
Seems my mini might be off road for a while

[kappa]

Oh ok mate,

Well thanks for letting me know.

Cheers
