Spag of V8 mini fame has put a mk1 MR2 engine in the front of a mini clubman
http://www.spagweb.c...mr_ed/index.htm

might be worth a look.

[smudger]

before i click on that, did he have trouble? custom frame?

how does it go?

[smudger]

Very Very intresting, but i wonder if its possible to use the mini subframe, due to the fact my car has the subframe as part of it (welded in)

[v8mini]

i don't know much about it part from he's done it and some details are on his website.
i did see it mini in the part last year, that all i know.

he is a helpful chap, gave me loads of info for my V8 conversion.

[smudger]

do you have his addy? email? if so, can you PM me them, ta

[miniboo]

isnt it a 4AGE engine in an MR2?

[jack_marshall]

Yeah it is.

Well done on him for doing something brave and different. But my god, some of that is gashhhh.

Would anyone else feel slightly dubious about driving that?

[ed4ran]

well he did do it in a month

[smudger]

nope

dont worry me at all, lol

either brave or stupid!

but for me, its mid mounted just like my car.

so if it could fit in a mini subframe, then laffing.

IT"S A 4AGE lol i fell smart...though other people have said it ...theres one in the shop atm (engine) but i dont' know if it's mk1 engine...it's twin cam so...

[stalker]

Yea the mk1's came with the 4AGE engine (which are bullet proof)
and the mk2's came with 3SGE engines, or the 3SGTE for the turbo models.

So it would be a mk1.


P.S. I want that mini!!!!!
