    Believe me I thought about putting in a vtec, wanted to stay in the nissan family. Mini and the K10 are actually about the same weight standard. My mini's weight is 800kg's due to roll cage etc. I checked it at a local weighbridge. So I only have the extra weight of the g16 engine in the...

    Had fun over the weekend making poly bushing for gearbox mount. It needed a few days to cure, fitted it tonight it and have to admit it amazing stuff works great. The one piece of advice I have is make sure you tape/mask up 100% cos you only get one shot at it once the liquid is mixed and if it...
