I'm not as impressed by them as I though I would be. First time I saw one run at a RWYB I thought "this is gonna be good." Then it ran a high 14 or mid 15 or something. Really not as quick as I was expecting for a car that is supposed to be small and light with a V6 in the back  There was one at CaRS that was running similar times too. |

Light... who told you that. They're amazingly heavy for their size. |

One of my father's crazy creations, a R5 with a 2.9 V6 in the back a good few years back, unfortunatley was never properly finished due to us closing the Garage we had at the time. My 205's a bit of a pocket rocket, 1.9 16v converted, will do around late 14s 1/4 mile, standard engine.
Best by farwas a lad i met yesterday though, ph1 Clio 16v, running a proven 279bhp, VAG 1.8 20v Turbo running gear from a TT shoe horned under the bonnet, on Emerald management and a few tweaks obviously! Allegedly left an FQ340 for dead!

honda crx, they were rapid for a 1.6 considering when they were made. and with turbos doshed on there these 1.6 engines are consitently knocking out over 300bhp, reliably too may i add!

There's a chap down South called Trevor Crowe, who has a small block Chev shoehorned into the back of his Skoda (130 I think).

See - I like the idea of 16v minis...But they don't half look silly with extended bonnets/wings.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

yeh theres a lot which can be done to change that. but that is an off-the-shelf quick fit solution. clubman fronts fit without extension  |

I'd put the MR2 Mk1 forward, cos thats where the brief was going. Not quite pocket size or rocket powered and weigh a bit more than i'd exected but plenty enough for a buzz.
However i have seen one with a Turboized engineered lump doing 10 sec quarters, now thats inspirational!

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Also a few twincharged ones going about which are insanely fast. penski, Yup i would love a mini that looked no different on the outside, then has the 16v head on it to really make it shift.  |
