Think my Grandad ordered the wrong amount of plastic tubing for the second mini LOL
I need loads because i am keeping them real so loads of bars & stuff need making & a custom exhaust for the Honda K20 when it arrives since its made to fit a Honda civic not a Mini.
This is the front subframe of a standard mini:
Back is on the left & front is on the right
This is what i have to make for the new engine:
Front is on the left & back is on the right
I might move the firewall back inside the car depending on the size of the engine. seems all the minis with K20 engines have an extended nose
Thanks ben. their are 2 or 3 others on this forum but they all seem to be dead.
I am thinking of doing this exhaust stup on the Vtec mini. Its alot more complex & was only done because the mini in the pic was made 4X4 but looks pretty cool.
This is the car in the picture & i think it might have a K20 engine too!

As you can see its a tight fit under the front end with a radiator half behind the right headlight.
V-tec engine hasn't arrived but the front is prepped ready for it. made the exhausts & roll cage for it.
Supercharged mini has seats, some paint, exhaust & intake pipe. I got some new drill bits too so i could make the wholes for the wires on the engine. the smallest drill was 0.3mm & it looks like a hair. I used fishing wire for the cables instead of cotton like i did last time lol.
The red one was sitting on the wheels for the V-tec just to see how it looked.
