September 25th, 2007 12:49 PM #6Why do it half-assed?
Just go the whole hog on the Mini conversion and get a B16A...
While I'd rather have the Mini as a project car... the Kia Pride is a much cheaper project car... secondhand Minis go for almost five times as much as secondhand Prides.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

September 25th, 2007 06:58 PM #9I also like the Mini. Its shape never goes out of style, unlike the Kia. Before you can put a Honda engine on a Mini, you have to have special sub-frames, special driveshafts (one end Honda, the other end Mini) and cut part of the inner fenders. But you'll have a classic Mini with 16 valves, 5 speeds, EFI, 160 hp (with a stock B16A2) and Japanese reliability.
The Kia Pride conversion makes practical sense. It is cheaper, easier to do, parts readily available and you can install air-conditioning.

September 25th, 2007 08:06 PM #10I would pick mini over pride but if MK4 body and engine all OEM. Honda engine is nice and fast but it makes the mini not a classic at all. Choose the top of the line OEM engine for mini.
I would also pick Pride if I'm under budget. Nagkalat ang parts ng Pride at mura talaga and its easy to maintain. Go for the KDM look all stock pati engine.
It all depends upon the budget naman.
For me all cars can be restored. Kung pwede lang lahat ng klaseng cars dati kahit hindi sikat or minamaliit dati irerestore kopa yan kahit daewoo racer or hyundai atoz.
