With a carb you dont need an ECU, instead you have a dizzy and a coil. You also dont need a fuel tank either, just anything to hold a bit of petrol.

This is interesting.

I myself have just bought an automatic '94 Cooper. I bought it before realising it had the ECU removed and a carb installed. Turns out the previous owner spent over €1000 getting the conversion done, along with a modified centre exit exhaust.

but how do people feel about the conversion in general?

And what tuning possibilities should I take advantage of?
