Mini Cooper S

uh, no. not kidding.

He is putting huge rear tires on it and rebuilding the frame. The body will be beelte, but that is about it. We are still looking for transimission/diff to handle it. The guy asked me if i knew where to get one, i told him maybe one off some sort of porsche could fit and would handle it, but rear engine is hard to get parts for.

[bleh]

wow yea.... thats a really tight fit isnt it? the parts are going to be really hard to get ahold of, but the end product.... will be worth it.

all i have to say is "i'm glad i'm not doing it". It will be niether fun nor easy, but i know it's possible, i've seen it done before. Just not with NOS and twin turbo, but oh well. He said he'd let me drive it when he finished, whenver that ends up being. It sure as hell will be cool. He wants to keep it pretty stock looking.

christ, if ever there were a sleeper.

Yeah right, and my password is chicken mcnugget. I think he can forget about that ever being a sleeper. The huge tires and thundering V8 exhaust I think will give it away before it ever pulls up to the light .

haha i was thinking about that. first i was like well he can muffle the hell out of the exaust with numerout mufflers and glasspacks. then i was like... where would he put them! space is going to be an issue for that one.

[thepolarfoxqx]

the smallblock is already sitting backwards, i haven't asked him about the exhaust, but my guess is that he isn't going to have custom headers made out, so he will likely do the unconvetnional exhaust forward, mount the mufflers under the car, and then angle the pipes back to exhaust in front of the rear wheels. I don't know though. Either way, a beetle that fast would suprise anyone. I can see heartbroken vette and porsche drivers everywhere feeling inadiquate.
