I've already got one ball busting project thats proving difficult, I didnt need two. haha! 
If I was doing a K swap or 2ZZ swap, this car probably wouldnt even be going yet. 
But I learned so much from it during that short time span, it was awesome.

4K would have dropped straight in,  a 7/8 race cam and you'd be laughing

 

/ I'm pretty sure this thing of yours was only like a second slower on the quarter mile at drag day than my brother's Capri, but his thing is more traction limited

Reading those comments made me dumber liek those who dont understand the diff between hp at wheels vs quoted engine hp

This also the weight of the car, whats a FWD box worth in loss? 10-15%?

So maybe what closer to 200whp?

Hahaha its all good fun aye! 
I think part of the issue was just the way the article presented it. 
By which I mean, when I posted the trackday video first somewhere, it gets a really positive reception. 
Then people ask what's in it, and cant believe it. 
But then if you tell it by the numbers first, no one wants to watch a trackday video that validates the fact that it did indeed go quite good. 
Then another issue was that the article sort of made it sound like it was making 150hp at the engine. 
Which on an American or UK dyno means about 30whp.

Can we crowd fund again it was awesome diverting some of my project money and seeing it get results?

I'd love to see a 1nz mini @Roman

I am more than happy for people to pay me to build 1NZ motors haha. 

Next project is repowering my partner's mini. They actually do make some kits to bolt a 1NZ and C56 box in. Might be a nice option but see how I go.

Engine bay is insanely tiny.

A proper OS mini? Clubman front might be worth considering for the extra couple of inches length. 

Coz who doesn’t want an extra couple of inches of length right?
