Hi there, bit late on this thread in know.

Buy why dont you just buy a mini cooperS put Cooper/One bumpers on it, have power flow make you a single and quiet side exit exhaust, rather like the 1320auto car. Then with the engine rather than spend all that money on a new non mini lump, have the intercooler relocated to the bumper and put a One/Cooper bonnet on it. then lastly de badge it and put a One badge on the back.

Have seen a 2 litre pinto engine in the front of a Mini that was being used for rallycross. Though the guy had the air intake were the headligh should have been.

Was the earlier 3.0 M3 engine with the 5 speed box rather than the later 3.2 with either the 6 speed or the SMG box.

I've bought some extra large wheels so it still touches the ground. Do you think I'll need a bigger tank? will it run on normal petrol or will I need optimax? What does the ECU do anyway?
My budget is £500 by the way.

pmsl thats the best yet!...
