standard length

[mini_kris]

is there any way i can fit a 16v red top with out extending the front end and move the radiator some where else?

or does any one know the Minimum length I can extended it to so that it fits?

thanks

Use the search button at the top of the page.

you will have to build your own subframe , modify the injection system to miss the bulk head , or cut a hole in the bulk head.

check out fbm-specs gallery or markLD who have both made there own subframes and fitted them under a std nose

well i gave in couldnt be bothered modding a frame especially as i had ordered the amt frame so i have just extended the front by 70mm, not to sure of it at the moment (just looks to long)

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the clubman? Just a thought...

Good point Clemi!

Thought if you modified the front of the clubman, you could use the AMT frame. Also if you're smart, like Richspec, you could cram it all in there?

Either that or I've been reading a load of BS over the past few months in here :?

Vauxhall potentiall seems the cheapest route... but I still like the idea of an R1 bike engined, FWD, stripped out steel Mini.... more revs than I know what to do with.

didnt really like the clubman hence not going down that road plus befor i started the conversion i had already bought a wide arch kit for my round nose

Guess its fbm-spec stylee for you then! His frame is a piece of engineering greatness in my books - now if he'd only let me at his CAD files of the frame.....

I can always dream :lol:

good luck with squeezing the nasty ol' red top in :cry:

I have a C20LET in my standard clubman length fronted mini, although the intercooler, does go outside the front panel, only way you can distinguish it to be truthful...
