My latest updates on my project,

I relocated alt to fit the a/c on the original position, with modified bracket.

this is how it looks when the front is mounted, ( no nose extension)

( sorry for the poor picture quality)

Now thats what I call - Good Engineering! - Without extending the nose clip - you have kept the integrity of the exterior.

And I am quite impressed on the Engine Subframe/ Mounting Layout/ Design - Clean and Neat Job.

WOW!

I will drop by anytime... I have asked Philip from my VW Club to accompany me to your place.

More Power on your project. - As soon as my budget allows - I am going to place an order - hopefully soon.

(by the way... It's very rare for me to praise a good work... but this is indeed a good work)... because there is the element of respect in every part of the car. It doesn't matter what engine you put in... for as long as you make it integrate with all the other elements of the car like it has always belonged there - That's the Key! and you got it!

I believe you have even surpassed the UK guys with their distorted mini symmetry.

More power!

Thanks Man, ! I've been logging this build to the international community in the UK. Damn they said it couldn't be done

, Specially with A/c, But Filipinos proved them wrong

. Feel free to drop by, just give me a ring

. By the way here's another additional thing they got them surprised! front stabilizer bar!

,
Mine has it original std!!! ( the original Mini has it optional!)

This has definitely placed the Cherry on top of the Cake.

I just love it when I hear stories like these... specially when the Global counterparts tell us "It can't be done"... hehehe. This made my day.

With the original Front Stabilizer Bar on a 400KG car... That thing will drive unlike anything you've driven before. I bet it will have precise handling in a slalom course. Have you changed the Rear Brakes as well?... I would like to do some Full Donuts with that thing... it's just one OVER POWERED big Toy!

You can't imagine the Grin on my face just by thinking about your project.

AWESOME! - I will be in touch.

Brakes ? no problem the original Mini 8.4" set up will do just fine. But I already have my contingency , I'm already doing a PH12 front disc brake set up that has 9.4" vented rotor, of course it came from a D15 Honda, Rear are SIR disc brakes.

Cheaper than the original Mini brakes but 30% better!
