That's some crazy project man. With weight reduction and new engine it's going to be a rocket.
Which gearbox you are planning to use?

Fucking class project u are a crazy mofo keep up the good work

[liamcrowley]

I'm planning on using an r154 because that's what I have but I know of someone with 2 w58 boxes which I might try and buy just because the r154 is for my mini, but I also need a few other bits and pieces of other cars to make it work!
It's a bit of a pain of a job but il manage.

brilliant, love these kinda projects, between this and the mini ill be keepin an eye,
makes me want t do sumthin mad with the micra lyin in the garden,maby rb the silvia and put the sr in the k11, haha
good work.

[mr.jailbait]

you make hard things look very easy.
lovely welding too.

its upto you but to be honest id put the 1j in this and the v8 in the mini, them v8's are not realy a good yoke a stock jz will have plenty of power for s stripped out merc couldnt weigh as much a full chaser and if you made the car meet pd specs it could be worth a few bob to some one if you ever sell it on, i cant realy see the point in the mini myself but with either the v8 or the 1j it will be just a crazy little yoke!

[Kruizer]

Thats a pretty different project, just hope it doesn't slow down the mini's progress

Ya I know what you mean, I am tempted to get another 1jz for the merc but having seen quite a few people with turbo problems I would like an n/a drift car.
I no I mightn't have much power with the v8 but I don't have a turbo which might save me some €€€€. The engine is costing me very little so if in fact it doesn't work I can allways change it to a 1jz. Ya, there is absolutely no point having the 1jz in the mini but as you said its just going to be a crazy little thing!

This might slow up the mini a small bit but the main thing that's going to slow the mini up is a lack of money for the thing.
I'm hoping to have the merc going for the same money as I need to get the mini rolling!
