Can anyone give me an idea of how common a swap the G13b into a mini has been? Approximately how many of these do you think would be on the road?

Surely someone has an idea how many minis are going around with GTi engines. Are we talking 5-10, 10-20, more??

I'm pretty sure the guy with a last name of Yaeger (Yager ? Mark perhaps from memory ?) in Lismore did a couple around 98 or so , a red van and I'm not sure what else .

No, but twincammini on here has relocated his radiator into the boot in anticipation for the turbo to go in soon. Lots of engineering to do it so he can get easy access to the gearbox for when it blows every 2 weeks haha :D

Look in the conversion section of this forum for minimetoy's conversion of a 4efte starlet gt in his round nose he is getting very close to completion.
