Haha... post when... I would like to see it! I still have yet to find time to visit your shop!

[rmrsasteel]

Yeah do p.m. me sometime and have a chat, You will probably get you interested in a MiniVtec

Galing naman nito sir! parang gusto ko tuloy magkaron din ng hybrid na mini cooper someday congrats po! :cool01:

[rmrsasteel]

Uyyy thanks!!! No problem bro, just p.m. me, Dati na kase akong nag MiMini mga beterano ba. Problema parts cost and source, thou ngayon madali na kumuha na ng parts thru the net, kaya lang Philippine adaptability kase ang kailangan , Kahit ba nasa ibang lugar ka at may Honda dealer me makukunan ka ng pyesa, Saka pag gusto mo ng laruan eh bat di ka pa mag Mini. ?
By th e way di lang pala makina ang Honda pati guages...

Pati preno

at may a/c din a napagkasya namin sa loob ng engine bay!

Dre patanong, di kaya mas mabilis ikasya dyan ang mga L-series na engine? or mahirap ba i-source itong mga type ng engines? Kung hindi ako nagkamali, ito ang mga engines ng City at Jazz.

[rmrsasteel]

Mas mahirap since newer models ito and mas mahal ang hop up kits kung tatanungin mo ako, Bakit ka pa mag Jazz or City engine? kung flooded naman ang surplusmarket natin ang D series , And nung kino configure namin yung engine ang exhaust nasa likod, madaling mag init ang cabin ng Mini ( dikit na masyado sa firewall ), Parts wise mahal pa rin . Saka orig JDM ang D at hindi sa Thailand denivelop as far as I know.

[Mguy]

I understand. Yun L engines naman nasa harap rin naman ang exhaust so di nakadikit sa firewall. I was really curious lang size wise kung mas maliit sya and if you could use existing brackets rather than fabricating new ones.

Sabagay, daming D na surplus, pero palagay ko very soon, ang L naman ang madami sa surplus.

[rmrsasteel]

In a conversion procedure usually you have to get the most available engine you can buy, otherwise mababalewala yung frame na dinevelop mo, the D engine worlwide has a great following , Kung size lang ang pauusapan di naman masyado malaki ang D, it's a matter kung paano mo sya paiikutin sa given bay area ng Mini, and to think of it sa dami ng surplus supply kahit pasabugin mo yung engine makakabili ka ng half block, tranny or head, Yung L series baka di ka pa pagbentahan ng hiwa hiwalay nun? if ever they command price.

Kaw naman 1 year ko dinevelop yung D conversion sa MIni gusto mo palitan pa ng ibang engine??? hehehe

[Mguy]

Hahaha. Sabagay, no easy task rin yan. Kudos for that.

If only I have an aging Mini, i would probably have it converted also. Nice to know na may local expertise for that. Tsaka from the pics, pulido ang frame and work mo. More power!

[rmrsasteel]

sir, I have to say this is a really nice project.

Care to share how much would a mini chassis and body cost?
