Ok folks just new to this forum and thought i would start this build thread. I had started one on the 16v mini forum but not much seems to be happening on it., i feel when not much is happening on the forums i lose interest in the car.
Anyway car is a 1989 mini flame. I got it standard but needing a lot of work. The original plan was 2.0 16v vauxhall. But plans change. So now the car is rear wheel drive with a 1.8t. Engine is a ca18det from a Nissan s13 200sx running a t28 turbo which was rolling loaded at 286bhp in the s13. I have a few more parts for it so should run around 300bhp. Rear diff is from a Nissan s14 200sx as it come with a led as standard. I have built a tubular subframe and is mounted to the car but not 100% happy with it so it may change. I will try get some pictures up as soon as i can.
