That really isnt that expensive. Suppose the engine and diffs would set you back a bit.

The rear diff and suspension is NA/NB series MX-5. If you go for the 1600CC, open centre diff version, then it will be cheap as chips. Get the Torsen LSD and you are up for a bit of $.

THe MX-5 rear end is over strong and heavy for the mini. I would reckon that re-making the wishbones from tube could save lots of weight.

Hmmm, I know someone with an NA 1.6 mx5. Going to be upgrading to an lsd soon, might have to take it off his hands then.

Great piece of kit there! Not my thing, though.

Looks awesome in primer and black. 8)
