Re: i'm new, heres what i've got.
heres the instructions i brought to the machine shop, got it from 16v mini forum i think, along with 2 mini and 2 honda shafts and required lengths. they are not balanced but the sleeves were turned down to be perfectly round and the sleeves themselves keep the whole shaft dead straight. http://i569...

dont like the look of extended fronts so kept it normal, engine and frame are gonna have to come out to change the oil filter as a result but small price to pay imo. its a b16a1 out of a crx, some people say it puts out 160 bhp but i think its 150 which is plenty for what i'm after.

Re: modified front subframes
buy £20 of steel box section, go on 16v minis and copy someones design to fit the engine of your choice.
