I think it's gonna need bigger brakes though...
Bet that'll go like a scalded cat!

Don't worry about the brakes, they're only going to slow you down

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

That radiator is going to need some serious ducting if it's going to provide cooling when fitted in the boot

I love these types of things, zed cars etc, I've always wanted a crazy rwd mini with a turbo'd Hayabusa engine or similar, but been too sensible to buy one so far. God knows what the type R engined ones are like!
I've decided that instead of a bike for the commute I'm going to save and buy a bike engined one once I've sold my s.i. coupe. There is a Wilwood brake kit especially made for these.

That would be wild. I spent my teens close to death in a full face 1340cc '60's Mini, so can only imagine how wild this one would be...

Same for me.....1310 Cooper S engine,12G295 ported head,cam I think was 731 and inch & three quarter SU...OH AND 3 branch manifold.
All good at the time but so antiquated now and inefficient......probably made 80 odd HP
That Honda engined mini would benefit from a proper LSD and for safety a full cage with door bars.......reckon that could well be an accident waiting to happen if it's piloted with any passion in the wet!!........type R was a popular if expensive elise/exige conversion but a quite a weighty lump I was told and hanging on the front of a FWD car as compact as an old school mini could well prove "interesting".......especially when the VTec kicks in coming off a roundabout
Adrenaline overdose

That made me really smile. I too still remember the same head casting number. Mine was taken to RR in Derby to be gas flowed and ported. Twin valve springs and a long centre branch exhaust. All slowed down with finned drum brakes that were better than tiny disks...lol

Funny how random numbers stick around in your head to be dragged out when required!!
Can't remember the reg of the mini but had a 1500 semi-auto beetle.....CSK 628F
