Does any body own

herps uk, chaos also very knowledgeable about them

aye get jonno on here.

he wont shut up

f*** of jamie, was having a good convo.

i know its fun talking about hacking

i had old mini before i could drive, it sat in garden an i would rev it an rev it, but then it go bang like j gp will if he do same.

but i still sold it for a proffit

my mam has a mini city 30 thousand miles on teh clock lovely little car iam thinking about getting one as a project car and cramming a suzuki swift engin ein it

Which swift engine? A 1 litre will hardly 'cram' it

would rather see a well sorted 1275 conversion rather than a swift conversion

Hope you are good with a welder, you will need it

i was thinking out of the 1.3 gti ones

slap in a hyabusa twin turbo or one without turbos or one with an r1 in the front

You can barely afford your own car without a job

You do know that the work wont come cheap, and i hope you have good technical knowledge if you are doing it by yourself

Is it a project car that you will be using yourself, if so, dont forget about insurance

You cant just slap any old engine in any old car, in that case I would like the V12 from a Lamborghini Diablo in my Stilo please

Would the Swifts engine even fit in a mini, baring in mind a Swift is actually quite big compared to a mini

Hmmmm I've never heard of one. Only thing people think about is Redtops, Vtec's and bike engines. Seem to be the easiest.

I really found this interesting http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/ don't really want to promote it. But it will probably put you off enough to stop thinking about it lol.

The family "mini"





And yes, the swift 16v does indeed fit into a mini
