considering putting a starlet turbo engine in my mini, so ive got a couple of questions if thats ok. i want to keep 10inch wheels if possible and id like to keep the mini suspension.

1. what are people doing about driveshafts is there any companies that can make them or is it a weld job?

2. is there any one that makes subbys for this conversion or do you have to do it yourself.

i think these are the only things id get a bit stuck on.

cheers in advance.

both, few threads on DIY shafts recently on the forum and various companie have been mentioned, do a search for the specific info mate.

DIY for now i believe, though i msure the 16vminishop and/or allspeed engineering would oblige in knocking one up for you, inc shafts. Again for more info do a wee search :)

i think these are the only things id get a bit stuck on.

cheers in advance.
