tortron Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Neato Is a maxi approx the same size as the 1800 landcrab? or the "midsized" model inbetween the 1100's Should be a luxury cruiser when done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbie Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It will be considered. I scratched the red paint.. so they will need to be redone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Otherwise keep the rest of car as is for max surprise values. Are allegros considered even more horrible than maxis? and what of the humble princesses? Both great candidates for mega power and awesome giggles for little outlay. Would never get nicked.

Corbie Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 yea plan is for everything other than the engine bay to appear as stock as possible.. still trying to work out the best way to hide a 2-1/2" S/S exhaust.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Honda B series powered Allegro has long been a guilty dream of mine. I figure if they pop the Honda motors into Minis left right and center, surely an Allegro wouldn't be that hard? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 A Honda B series powered Allegro has long been a guilty dream of mine. I figure if they pop the Honda motors into Minis left right and center, surely an Allegro wouldn't be that hard? They make subframe kits for Hondas into 1300's now I believe so wouldn't be all that hard to adapt something like that into an Allegro. But Allegro... Do you really want to put yourself through that?

locost_bryan Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 its about 6" shorter than the 1800 ... but the bean counters made them use the 1800's doors , hence the looong wheelbase. They also shoe-horned the silky smooth 2.2l 6-cylinder version of the OHC Maxi engine into the 1800 and Princess - now that would have made the Maxi fly... The Maxi looks good lowered a tad, with some wheels that fill the arches better (imho). Nothing wrong with a quick Allegro - the UK got the 1750 twin carb engine, and BL eventually sorted the ride and handling (although too late, as usual ). A mate had one with a warmer cam for commuting from Chch to Lincoln Uni, back in the '80s. Ate Escorts for breakfast . A KV6 from a Rover 75 would have made an interesting transplant in the Maxi - an Austin Rover parts bin special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 There appears to be cheap $120! possible jdm klze on Trademe right now. Grab it and get 200 bhp for your maxi ( before Im tempted to buy it) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=772066236&permanent=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you run a dual exhaust with smaller 1-3/4" pipes (same flow as single 2-1/2" pipe), then combine them at the rear into your muffler of choice? By the way, what happened to your twin carb 1750 motor? It's basically the same as the one in my Marina, but iirc the Maxi HL got factory twin-pipe exhaust extractors ...

MACKAZ Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Interesting choice. Cant knock a man for trying something different. Certainly going to induce some intense head scratching when you smoke em from the lights. Give it heaps man!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Gruntfuttock Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Funny you say that.. Took it for a spin on Thursday.. and had a lass walk past and moisten her pantaloons while I was waiting to pull out of my drive.. she was walking backwards down the road in order to stop herself from slipping over in her own drool.You're in... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
