i thought there was a thread i started a while ago about this but i can`t find it
i may have hi-jacked someone elses thread :-)

anyways,,, we had a bit of a slow-down period on this , simply waiting for a friend to get his ar$e back here to finish off some stuff

well,, now he`s finally arrived & ripping in again
the subframe is basically finished except for some neatening up & a few little gussetts & such,,, still yet to throw it back into a car body to make sure it`s all squeezed in nice

so we`ve made some axles, they`re done

we`ve made an exhaust manifold (extractors) so they`re done & been jet hot coated

& we`ve sorted an Alternater & braketry & pulleys & tensioner etc (major drama but nearly sorted)

& we`ve created a turbo manifold & dump pipe, just have to clean up the welds & get it jet-hot coated now

But today we got back onto the inlet manifold for Yamaha R1 Bike carbs

it`s a real tight squeez but it`s happening

more coming :-)

so,,, yes we are making 3 subframes,,, one for Clive N/A with R1 Bike carbs
& coated extractors

one for me , Turbo injected

& a spare,,, but don`t all rush me for the spare frame cause we havn`t finished my frame yet :-)

Great job. I'm watching this one very closely. I'd like to do a conversion on my spare Mini one day. Either this engine or the Swift GTI.

The extractors look great. I too like to get mine ceramic coated. Makes a massive difference to the overall look.
Nice work

We have another Tig welder now so as soon as Dale is back from playing silly buggas elswhere
we`ll get back onto both inlet systems

Clive`s is the R1 bike-carby system, with the shiney extractors
& mine is the turbo injected one , still yet to sort the intercooler but it`s looking like a top-mount will be the simplest

Thanks Matt, Was pretty sure thats what you would say :)

Post subject:  Re: micra CG13 conversion
well,,, to be a little more accurate
it`s actually a GT25-54
but that may be just getting a bit picky of me
i`m pretty sure it`s the smallest Ball-bearing type jobby available from Garrett

coming along nicely, sorry it`s taking so long, relying on a few different people helping on this project
it`s also stop start type work with moving all my dads stuff & cleaning up his properties
but they`re pretty-well done now so all hands on deck

Inlet manifold almost finished
subframe just needs a tidy-up, sand blast, etch-prime & paint
exhaust extractors done
& now just to finish off the alternator pulley & tensioner etc
Yamaha R1 bike carbs going onto Clives (this one) so just a little fiddle with length & fitment into dummy-body-shell shortly to confirm it all clears & we`re done
Image

after these 3 frames are done i don`t think we will be doing any more Jap eng conversions
i think i`ll spend more time on the Bimmer Twinkys that way :-)

Frames coming along nicely
manifolds made
alternator brakets made
inlet systems (x2) made)
now the fun begins setting it all up to make em run :-)

Image

sorry, for some reason photobucket isnt playing the game atm :-(
i`ll have to play with it later


the sub-frames are all wire brushed, blasted, etch primed & 2-pak painted
ready to whack the donk in & shove it into the car now

still lots of work to go, however these are a bit of a side-line thing for us
so std-issue mini customers come first, then when we get a bit of spare time we work on these & the Bimmer Twinkys of course

not making any more subframes tho, we have all out own stuff to get done now, race minis & monaco fastback conversions & getting our station wagons ready to run & sorting a few issues on my race-buggy, so sorry to all & everyone who have asked about any more getting done, computer says no :-)
cheers & thanks for gorking
