Tried the search but couldn't find anything.

I've notice that on all the mini miglias, the shifter unit is in the cabin of the car instead of being underneath. Just wondering why they are like this, and if other mini race cars do this too?

Also do any race mini's use widen suspension component such as control arms? I've seen a custom kit on ebay that was taken off a race car, not sure if it's any good or worth the price.

Just a thought on this... How is the exhaust moved further up into the tunnel? Are the down pipes shortened on the manifold?

The center pipe normally kicks down under(around) gear linkage on a road car, on the miglia`s they run it high up into the two rear boxes then out where the rear valence was as this is also cut out, rear subframe is modded with rear section cut out and replaced with box section set further back

This how i`ve done my internal linkage

Do you not have a steady bar? Any gear change problems?
