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!

Also if you type in little bandit into youtube u will see a micra with a 2.0 turbo in it, look for the video " UNKNOWN DRIVER" incredible!
