Got to a stage where the car was looking tatty and needed some attention. Wanted reliable power and decided to use a 1.8vvc k-series from an mgtf mounted in the rear. Take a look at the pictures any helpfull advice welcomed. Im using my brothers account and thats why the names dont match.

most of the time (imo) the mini hybrids using other cars subframes should be left alone, a certain honda one springs to mind........

TR7 wheels are the correct PCD and are 13". They are close to fitting (It depends on offset and shape of the inside of the wheel) they can foul on the bottom arms on the rear. This was on a MG TF rear frame, not sure about the F, it may be better. Tim Rowe

There is a conversion guide for TF stalks on a mini over on TMF somewhere. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I think they're the same as what was on the mpi, just requires some wiring to be done. On 15th Jul, 2009 fastcarl said:

If the anchors are the same as a metro. then you could get the hubs re drilled and fit 13 by 7 deep dish super lights. On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:
