theres no need to lengthen the front with this kit.

right so,heres the car now as it sits,driven into itd resting place for the last few years....still waiting on my doors to be reskined looks like ill have to get some second hand ones at some stage but its not on top of the lidt of things to get yet....so this is it...dont mind the date on the camera...its a bit nuts sometimes
They must be adjusted to the last! Looks sweet, and will go sweet once you throw in the jap scrap. People won't know what hit them when they hear something hitting V-tec and seeing a Clubby estate coming for them flat out!
really interesting... !!! the subframe & engine kit look really sweet. cant wait to see that in the metal!
also very curious about the front mounted rad you had for the metro engine set-up.. . . what car was it from? did you have any problems with it? here is my front rad set-up:

its been a while since ive been on here,its still on a bit of a go slow at the min,im in the process of finishing off one of my other projects but the mini hasnt been forgotten about!
a word of advice before you fit the frame for the last time change the bolts to the suspension arms to the other way around or if you ever have to take the arms off you will have to remove the frame, also what are your plans for the steering rack? seen as the frame is designed for lhd?
I just love vtec minis
