Hi Cliff,
I was directed here months ago from one of the Minor sites and have been hooked ever since. This is one awesome project!
I already have 2 V8 minors but your project inspired me to start another.
Minor body on a Subaru (Sorry!) floorpan anyone?!
I have one question for you;-
How do you intend to register the car once it's done?
The DVLA and VOSA have recently made the rules far stricter when it comes to modified cars.
My particular project is on hold until I can clarify the situation!
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Keep up the excellent work.
I did measure up for an Impreza floorpan swap (I have a 96 sti too), but I don't think it fits if you want to keep it 4WD. To keep the front driveshafts straight you need to extend the front overhang about 4 inches even without a radiator, which would look all wrong IMO. Alternatively you could move the engine and box back and just angle the driveshafts but steering lock would be seriously compromised, and I don't know how long the CV joints would last.
Still, I'd be happy to be proved wrong
As for registering, I don't think I have any choice but to get it IVA'd - its just too modified. There are some issues with that obviously, mostly with original Minor features like the drip rails that will not pass the min radius regs, but we'll just have to overcome those nearer the time.
Nothing worthy of updates recently, just playing with different exhaust and pipework options, and also been busy with other stuff.
The new BIVA rules do look a pain, but this bloke just got his Model A ford passed. It's been built with a bit of 200SX in there. The rear suspension and a CA18DET in there. Looks to be a case of carefully studying the rules
- any links to a project build for the ford ?
white '94 s13 200sx scrapped - mapped to 1.45bar. OS giken box, garrett GT2876R, 950cc injectors, ORC twin plate, nistune. 349bhp/325lbft @ 1.3bar CA18DET
white '96 s13 180sx - type g with more kouki bits- RB25DET, GTR steel twin turbo conversion, RB26 crank & rods. 2.6L VVT twin turbo, SR20 OSG box, OSG STR twin plate clutch, Z32 ECU w/ nistune.
