Found these in my photo collection........


ROTARY POWERED, 5 SPEED, REAR WHEEL DRIVE, ROOF CHOP

Slightly oversized tyres too...... Note how the gearbox has to go OVER the steering rack. :wink:

"...Now, if we can just get 400HP out of it......" :twisted: Thats my kinda toy.....Gotta love it.

Wrong way to do it... :shock:
Put it amidships on a transaxle, driving rear wheels. Then it might get traction and handle too! :lol: 8)

WTF :shock: now thats dangerous( sorry about the spelling ) and messy. here go to this website, you mite have seen it before but it is an ok website for this kind of topic www.16vminiclub.com . i think id rather stick to a V-TEC. a fair bit of people have done it and you know it is possible and wont be a messy job.

FWD and AWD conversions I can understand, buy why kill the Mini handling for common old RWD? :x

If someone wants a RWD, go and buy an Escort, Gemini or any number of small, good handling RWD cars.

found this, its not in a mini but shows that a rotary can still be adapted to a fwd gearbox so might squeeze into a mini.

hmmm.. yeah, the more i think about it... theres no way a 323 FWD gearbox could take that kinda power, without expensive upgrading....
