I might have a chance to develop a K-series subframe for a mini . using the normally std mini suspension. and to fit in a std round nose.

what do people think ? is it worth looking into ?

Matt

hey i want to do a k series conversion in my mini would like to c price mate . if it good price would def be interested

[16vmini]

we have the first development frame made as is being put in a customers car as we speak :


problems we have had are the oil filter , starter motor (needs a brise aftermarket one) alternator will need some magic to fit a std round nose ..but possible. and the rest of the problems are smaller compared to that.

we are now taking proper orders for the frame .. but relise that it is a new product so i dont know all the answers to all the problems yet ! but just ask

looks awesome matt, is that for the R65 gearbox??? have u tried the clearance for the PG1??

is that £799 for just the frame (not a bad price if it is as i can well believe the work its taken to make it look that good)

if its not a kit price any ideas how much the rest of the bits would be, drive shafts, suspension parts, gear linkage!

im sure you'll let us know in good time but if i dont ask the question now sum1 else will!

Just think, with the price you can get some Metros for now, if you used Metro suspension and wheels, you could possibly do this conversion for under 1k!!

[16vmini]

hi guys , allots been going on over the last year , and not much good ! , so this is one of the last conversions to come out of the 16v mini shop stable.
