Had a run down to Brighton this morning to check out the Minis. Some interesting engine conversions to say the least, plus the usual mad stuff. I didn't have long there, SWMBO was waiting to go out:mad: But not a bad few hours out.

Here's a few pics.

A few more.

wow, a honda v-tec in a mini?! bet that goes like stink

Yeah, first one ive ever seen. Would love a go in that:D

Here's another with a twin cam, though I don't know what it is. It has "KAD" on the cam cover. Wondered if it was a twin cam head that was designed to sit on top of the A series block, or if it was a whole engine from something else:confused:

hmm thinking a skoda one would be more appropriate

yes, I think "KAD" were mods on existing mini engines like the 1275........ probably running about 120 bhp.......

think you could get a 1.8t in there? or maybe a the 14,tfsi as that would be smaller 170bhp in a mini... hhhmmmmm

there is one lives on my estate, a well modded 1275GT, but it must be running big power, as it will happily chase me down the A66 :eek: an old grey haired bloke drives it... not had chance to chat to him and see whats in it....

and then revo it 250bhp :thumpup:
