Hey everyone - newbie Aussie with a 75 leyland mini signing in with questions in regards fitting my donk with zcars gear :0) I basically want standard k20a running gear.

1. If I was to find a Honda ep3r wreck ( with assumed running gear / wiring etc) would this be a good step towards the build ? IE use the wiring loom , ecu etc ?
2. What size rims are needed to clear the rear disc brakes ?
3. Would cooper 7.5 inch discs be sufficient for the front ?

Thanks !

if you buy a wrecked EP3 for the right money, then u could use all the parts you need. ie engine, box, ecu, wiring, etc and sell on the rest of the car and make some money back

Defintiely trying to source this ! I thought id ask a few more questions - as zcars seem to reply once a month !

 

1. What budget front brakes do people suggest to use ? Can i use a metro turbo setup ? (8.5s ?)

 

2. Anyone know the fuel tank capacity of the FRONT replacement kit from zcars ?

 

Thanks !!!
