Hey this thread is about cars with engine conversions, im a big engine conversion fan as ive had a few cars with the engines changed

Vauxhall nova 1.2 - changed redtop turbo (2.0 turbo)
Rover 100 (metro) 1.1 - changed 1.8vvc
Pug 205 gti 1.6 - changed mi16 2.0 16v
best one of all was a v8 dropped into a carpi done by my dad (i never drove this)

so let me know what conversions you like or what youve had!!

I've got a 1300cc metro engine with a stage 1 kit in my classic mini. (originally 998cc) Doesn't sound like much, but there isn't much weight to throw around in one of those

Would love to stick a 1.6 honda vtec in there though some day. They fit nicely into a clubman shell (i like my mini's ) Time and funds mean i'll probably never see it done though!

ohh mate thats a fantastic conversion ive seen it done and the results are outstanding!, the engines are not only reliable but very very quick. i know that 1300cc metro engine doesnt sound like much but ive seen them go and i have to say there very quick for what they are. i would love a old mg metro turbo (cant beat the old school) but the old mini them cars are just incredible, any engine and they go! real true old school classic!
