Thinking about a Vtec mini (Old skool shape)

Anybody had one / know anyone that has one?

Was thinking about a redtop mini, but after looking at it, it's heavier, less power, and you have to have a fibreglass front due to the engine not fitting properly.

Also, any pics of mini's you like post up

Thanks

c20xe mini's you have to lengthen the bonnet and that. but actually, far rom being slower, theyre mental as fook. Someone round here had one and it torque steered all over the place pretty much in any gear when you hit the power band.

Also a chappy has a 1.6 vtec mini and thats quite fast but nothing special

clubman front negates the need for the extra 3" of steel in the wings.

gearing suffers, iirc, you doing something like 50mph at 6k with a vtec on 13" (i know its down to the box, but theres only a few you can fit iirc, and there the same)
