what are them engine mounts you are using there? are the made for the hondas then adapted for your projects?

by the way, have you got and go fast goodies for a b16a1

[16vmini]

they are std b18c6 engine mounts. the rear mount is a custom mount that comes with the frame.

sorry no goodies at the moment.

superb! keep the pictures coming, how much is this conversion going to cost if you don't mind me asking?

[Alburglar]

good stuff

[who_loves_the_mini?]

how have you managed to keep the standard front with the 1.8? going to look and be amazing when its done

again how much on the price?

[markrally]

Really interested in this one, Will it have to have a longer round nose fron on it like this one??



I like stuff to look stock from the outside.


Cheers

Ps who made the frame and where can i find a full list of the conversion parts and prices etc?

Is that not a Vauxhall lump though Mark?

He says standard round nose, but until i see the standard front back in place....

click on the 16vminishop link in his sig for all the prices(i think he owns/runs the shop)

[16vmini]

it will fit in a std rounde nose , will need to mod the exhaust/custom one , also a custom rad will be needed.
also the alternator will have to be moved... they are the major ones

as to the price , well its not finished yet , and allot of extra cost has gone to buy the Type R engine which is about 4-5 times the price of a std b16a engine

look to be spending about 6-8k with me if you wanted me to do a std 1.6 vtec conversion

ps, ok some mini pros will spot a longer front end , but 99% of people wont as you are overtaking them ! it does save so much time and money just using a extended front.
