Re: whats wrong with people??
Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:09 pmDear Geoff, I've not looked at this Suzuki turbo in great detail yet, it's a write-off and the bodyshell is very mangled.
A good friend, Geoff Owen, has a green mini with a non-turbo unit fitted: it's featured in a last year's Hybrid/16 valve mini mag. The gearbox is alongside the block. I've had a short ride in this, and am of the opinion is what the mini should have had from day one: very, very impressive on all counts.
The G15 was last fitted with an A series 1430 and 4 synchro straight cut box, after a 930 Talbot Sunbeam blew up. It's been well modified, the rear bulkhead is just behind the front seats. If and when it goes in it will probably be for trackdays.
Regards, Ron
