Hi,

Welcome to Suzuki section of the site!
If you are worried about LHD then you don't need to.
Try this link.

He has even turboed G13B engine, so you can do it with LHD cars.

Good luck and hope you can finish what you got.

Hi,

What bit I welded, are you talking about?
My Mini is still in progress after 5 years...... :oops: .
I will be dealing with body work for now so that I can transport it to N. East.
It will be worrying 300mile travel this will be... :lol: .

Hi speedy, I am almost finished my roundnose with LHD (i'm in the USA)
and I'm using the standard Mini rack. The clearance between the tranny and the raised portion of the rack is about 1/2 inch.It can be done!

hi guys..

atchi... is your workshop 300 miles from your home??
i thought that in your country you had a lot of space...but not that much :D

sigmacon... a half inch is indeed what it take's...
i was quit worried that it would not go...
thanks...

see you later...

Hi Speedy,

No, I'm moving house to 300miles away.
I got new job and taking my project Mini with me.
It was meant to be 2 year project but I had 2 girls and 1 house move and 3 months training in Japan with job.....
Well that's my excuse anyway....

next issue is the driveshafts....

any idea's enyone???

[miniswift]

Hi Speedy,

I've done both for my project.
I cut and weld driveshaft then I thought I get one pair made for good measure(wish I didn't, it is crap).

If you go to my gallery, you will see how I have done it.

Cheers
Atchi
