oK, so me and my friend( RYU12341), were up in Bellingham looking for a house for the school year, when we came upon a mini for sale in this dude's driveway for 2200!! No one was home, so we looked at it and came back after he called. It's right hand drive from New Zealand, and he just got it all legal 4 months ago. Original wheels, all interior( needs some Honda buckets deffinately), and the engine runs good..it';s the 875CC-super small. Bruce's cousin is going up there from Lynnwood on Monday to buy it and we're gonna go NUTS on it!! The body's straight, needs paint, and it handles amazing!! I'm so stoked...I wish I had an extra 2 g's for it. My day will come, just letting everyone know, I thought this was a good deal..Oh, he's taking 2000 cash.

From what I hear, the B16 is close to the same weight as the engine that originaly came in the Mini. That should make for quite a fast little car.

Imagine that with a full Toda/Jun package and CTR pistons. *Yumm*

Mish

damn! that mini must be hella fast!!!

Sucka Free

thats a vw resevoir right there...

i've found my new project car! lol, dang that's baaad! i wonder how hard it is to swap in a b16. that looks like a very very tight fit. i've always loved the older mini's. where's a good place to shop for one?

letsride

Well just some points to the original poster.... the engine is a 850 cc. The easiest swap right out the box will be an Austin America 1275. While your at it you need to mod the brakes as well because the 850 brakes will not stop a 1275 .... trust me on this. To the other guy looking for one ...I have a resored 1960 with 1275 Show condition with White Leather GSR seats. Make an offer... ( over $12k invested)

Later...

Hunter

yea, i've been lookin' for one. u got any pics of it? or better yet, since you're in greensboro, why don't u meet up w/ some of us next weekend. i think some of us are gonna ride up to main street in high point. lemme know if you're interested

letsride

Cool let me know!! The B16 is very doable. It requires extensive fabrication of the front subframe but it works. Also its tight in the regular round nose version but quite at home in the clubman version.

Hunter

letsride, i'll let ya know about this weekend

Ham'ed Hatch

some guy was selling two austin americas a long time ago and me and some friends took a look at it, and took it for a test drive. the lil thing turned right over and drove like a champ. it was sooo roomy inside, and had a nice cushy ride too. they've got that cool pnuematic suspension he was telling us. i considered selling my hatch for them. it was a very fun little car, considering how old it was.

letsride

Actually its called Hydrolastic Suspension. It uses a bag at each corner with fluid that displaces from front to rear dependine on road conditions (cliff note explanation).

b16, dayam thats sweet

Mojo-Jojo

Ummm...if you can put a B16 into it, what's to stop you from putting a B20 CRVTEC into it?

Dr. EKology

if i ever found one...i'd sell my hatch in a heart beat!!!

oioioi
