I've started a new build thread for our Honda conversion, it can be seen here:

http://www.theminifo...howtopic=196613

Here is a teaser pic though:



Details to come, plus we just completed another CG10de, will post pics soon.

Fuh such along thread and lots of info.. keep the info posting in here friends...

[bigchief3679]

Completed yet another............
This one is a bone stock CG10DE with rev limiter removed and lightened flywheel:











This car is particularly lightweight and nimble, and so seems to suit the smaller engine quite nicely..........

very neat, especially the wiring!

[teflon]

wow very neat conversion as it was for mini.. love to do this conversion but legal issue in my country will not allow this..

[bigchief3679]

Wow. its been a while since i updated this thread.
By the time i post more pics we would have completed 4 more CG13 conversions as well as an MA10.
We have also completed our first Roundnose Toyota 4efte in our mini '3679'.
I will have to do a separate build for our [in my avatar] car as its really crazy ( Nissan Skyline GTR brakes, 17 inch wheels)...
here are two teaser pics, one is of our engine bay and the other is of the Three CG frames recently completed. enjoy................

Hi, I am about to start a 1.3 16v conversion and I have read this thread fully but was unable to find anything about the speedo cable?
Maybe I missed this section? what do you do? do you keep the mini dials or use the nissan ones? Are you joining the cable or modifying it?

This has been a very helpful thread

I've kept the mini clocks, useing the micra cable

I've kept the mini clocks, useing the micra cable

Did you have to change the connector at the back or at the gearbox end?

Could you elaborate on the methods used please?

Thanks for getting in touch

[l_jonez]

Nope the cable fits onto the mini clocks ok but i had to file a small groove to allow the cable to lock on and not pull off

[garrett3]

Fantastic, thanks

Hello all just wondering if there is a shop in the uk that would do this engine conversion for me if I give them my mini, it needs to be in the uk though and how much would it cost, I ain't got the tools or the space to do it hahaa
