Common is metro 4 pot brake set up, or fiesta.

Having a dig, found this forum post and these bunch of pictures. It just has solid 8.4" standard mini brakes with greenstuff pads.

It's only a Stock Honda 1590cc DOHC D16A9 engine

Wrong car James, you need to look for West's posts, he posted the first post in that link.

Where does your forum reading stop Stuart?
Good eye as ever! Definitely enough space in the back of the GTM.

I was all set on a GTM Coupe back in the day, but the longevity and practicality of the Midas won the day. If a GTM had had to put up with what my Midas has over the last 25 years I doubt it would have much of a chassis left. Still a nice car, but even more toy than a Midas.

I'm with you on that Stuart. It was the Grand Touring Mini (GTM) that got me looking at A series kit cars.

I do like the configuration of the blue mid engine car that James showed though. Its one of the things I had in mind for a Midas Coupe....if I still had any momentum.

Either that or a bike engined Midas.....just because you can.

First off though I better get this other 16v engine back in and start using it.....!

Imagine a busa in a Midas it would be untouchable no rust very stiff smart looking lower centre of gravity than a mini rarer than a mini

Copy this, or get them to build you one

Or DIY for £3.5k

I must resist posting about bike engine conversions, I have no doubt I've posted the same youtube videos and links several times before...

Must get back to finishing my lovely standard 998 A-series.
