evening peoples....

i have heard that you can put a v8 in a mini... :D

i was wondering if this is true??? would the weight of the v8 caus any majpr problems with steering???

i was told that some people have taken the back seats of their car out and created a rear wheel drive v8 mini....

would this be street legal...? ive looked it up on the internet but havnt come up with anythin very good.... :x internet is so fustrating sometimes...

Zcars motorbike engined mini goes like a rocket if onli i had enough $$$ for one... but 1st i should get a mini....

thanks a lot...

yeah i think if the flip front isnt engineered...
as for mud flaps? i dont think minis ever cam out standard with mud flaps,and i no for atleast 20 minis that have gone thru regency park without mud flaps!

well when i usta work there half our work was older mini and the other half (the better bit) was working on imported rovers.
i think steve (the owner) has/is moving and is gunna concentrate more on rovers..
but it would be best to scoot down and have a chat with him about it

It has bben done many times around the world

Street legal depends on the street and where in the world it happens to be. but it is getting harder all the time.

i always thought that red one has a GT 40 motor. i know ive got a mag at home with a really similar ute, if not the same one in it. not sure

the little yellow one is a 289ci windsor. remember that one from street machine.
its the car that got me interested in mini utes. would love to buy that one if it could be legal in wa
