yoeddynz Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yeah those pushbutton switches look great- where did you get them? On the above mention of rotaries by dpns has anyone ever mounted a rotary into a mini while keeping it front wheels drive? In fact has anyone made any sort of adaptor to mount a fwd box to a rotary?

KKtrips Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've seen it in a race mini - running through a Corona gearbox IIRC.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I've seen it in a race mini - running through a Corona gearbox IIRC.. Yes, OSCA class Mini of maximum awesome. Wheelspin half way down Teretonga straight on race slicks is pretty impressive shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Was wondering how your shed had faired. Might be able to help with cleanup depending what happens with uni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Chur bro, it'll be alright, will only take a couple of hours I reckon. Ditto on the uni front though.... Where do I study now? Uni is closed, my house is a tip.... hmmmm. Better just get on with the cleanup I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 yeah its pretty shit aye. I've got 4 assignments, 2 tests and 1 exam in the next 2 weeks. Sucks not knowing if they are still on or when things will be due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 What you studying bro? Luckily 2 of my test have been and gone, 2 more this week.... I'm just going to assume it's all still on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Mechanical Engineering, I'm doing some 3rd year and some 4th year papers. Same here, I'm still working on my assignments, don't wanna get caught out if I stop. What you studying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Dude, just found your build thread Fuck its a good one! your doing a wicked job with that mini Glad it survived the quake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 2nd Pro Elec for me. Studying stupid management shit at the moment, yay. Chur Seedy Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Really loving the thread. And I've always wanted a mini. You're doing a great job; I wish I was a patient to do things the way you have but I'm always too over excited. Really liking the detail you've put into the interior, should be mint. Edit: Bummer about the quake, really feel for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've seen it in a race mini - running through a Corona gearbox IIRC.. Quite a recent build? Any links to info on it- i'm just curious as to how easy a fwd box might fit. Once when i was on a mythical urban adventure i met a little bird sitting on a grapevine who told me that 323 boxes almost fit up but i think it was telling me a tale about its wife.

KKtrips Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think it was built in the last 5 or so years but I've never read any buildups on the webs - I do know the guy cut the car in half (from nose to tail) and added 100mm (I think) of material down the middle.. There may be pics out there in the OSCA series photos but not sure... edit - Oh HAI.. http://www.kiwisportssedans.co.nz/Chris_Coleman.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres been a few rotary Civics and 323's around over the years, sounds like a lot of guys use a corona box with an adapter http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread ... onda-Civic Lada also made a few rotary Samaras if that counts lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erenaissance Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Wow - very impressed by your patience and attention to detail. Already jealous of your clubman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ZOMG and then something actually got done on this thing, we were all amazed. Procrastination is the greatest motivator. Cheers, erenaissance. The attention to detail thing is cool, but also a curse, because it takes FOREVER to get anything done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 nice work, You will need at least a short bit of flexible hose for the fuel line, otherwise the constant rocking/vibration from the engine will work harden/crack the solid fuel line.

ProZac Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 True dat. I was wondering about where to cut it off on the bulkhead... If i take it up any higher I need to put another couple of bends in very close to one another, which is quite tricky. I might just cut it off where it leaves the bulkhead at the moment, but I wonder if that will make the hose clip hard to get to when the motor is in place. Probably not a big issue however. Ive been plagued by really unresponsive interwebs all afternoon, so haven't been able to look up other peoples build threads for ideas and inspiration, oh no!
