why did you have to put that engine in it for ,could you not find a mini engine AMEN

[Danny4q]

@badslabber a series engines are too reliable and VERY expensive. Gold dust nowadays lol!

[Gasthauz]

LOL! Is that the Italian alter ego "The American Job"? I would personally have opted for a smaller engine, like a 2 liter, 300 BHP Cosworth engine (as used in some Ford models). But this über-cool set-up cant be beaten image-wise...! Great work, guys!

[Danny4q]

Funny you say that.. This car used to actually have a 2-litre Red Top Vauxhall powered mini with throttle bodies and nitrous, running over 300bhp and 12 second quarters. That was like 10 years+ ago.. times and enthusiasm has moved up a notch since then ;o)

[Danny4q]
