the colt needs everything so it's on hold for a year or two.
the shelby is going back together the way it was and will be up and running in a few month.
the minivan will be for everyday of the year fun. it's cool and practical.

Bastard,

Your going to race it I assume? going for any goals if you do or just whatever?

Looks like next year ought to be fun, this will make about 5 16 valve Mini's, 2 being TIII's, one being a 2.5 TIII,

[Mike Radowski]

We have at least 1 in the works around these parts.

[kedavis]

Making a new tow vehicle huh rob.

[Ubmbass]

Sounds like last year, there were quite a few people saying how easy it would be to beat the record with their 16 valve setup. Funny, no one did it, not even got close, the only person who did was 8 valve. (Simon, 13.4)

Thanks Corby. I am so mad, with time and some tuning, could have gone faster,

[ohiorob]

I'm not building the van to race. I just wanted something to drive everyday and maybe wip on a mustang or trans-am now and then

Hey Rob, we're hoping to get the Acclaim today. Roads were too bad last night. Sorry. I'll give you a call.

I just don't get the mini-van passion thing. However, I will say that anybody that gets beat by one will certainly be humiliated to the fullest extent of the natural law! Good work & I wish you well.

Sweet project!

What are your plans for electronics?

Why? I needed a vehicle for my now 2 dogs, my wife, carrying parts/engines at work, hauling people around, towing my race bike, sleeping in it at the track, camping, towing dirt bikes etc and now, hauling my soon to be born son around. Its the perfect SUV and it does 13's to boot,

Is there many others running with the head conversion yet?

[1quickmini]

I agree thats a cool project.

I was wondering what the SRT-4 rims would look like on a mini and now I know what rims I'm going to get for my mini.
