I doubt they would fit as they barely get under the bonnet of a panda..paulbfd said:Maybe he'd like the challenge, LOL!
SU carbs are great, especially the later HIF version. I'd be well gobsmacked if I saw some under a cinq bonnet.

How about twin weber ida 36mm`s from an alfa?
Pandamonium runs this setup,
Also i think the catalyser will still work because exhaust fumes are exhaust fumes however they are made the only thing that would need removing is the lambda sensor (wouldn`t that be a shame?)and that could be replaced with a bolt of the same length and thread,
Cheers

P.s how come about a year ago when i mentioned converting to twin carbs i got shot down in flames but when mase mentions it everyone thinks it`s a great idea?????![]()

Also I though if your car passes the emmisions a CAT is not needed?

Donkeys ago I worked on a 2.0 Austin Montego which had a stepper motor equipped carb to alter the mixture, so it's quite possible they used the same bodgy technology on the mini.
It's the same principal as using injection - a feedback control system.
