Default my other long term build - K24 powered 78 Austin Mini

Because Highroller wanted to see the build and so did others on here i figured i throw it up. I know the FAKLAD sentiment on here, but its still a cool build nonetheless.

enjoy.

P.S: everything is a copy over from my build thread on another forum.

So ive got a bit of a cool long term going on that some ppl know about. i thought id share the pics.

Shell: 78 Austin Mini
Powertrain: 2004 Acura TSX 6spd. K24A2
Induction: TWM 42mm Individial Throttle Bodies with CF velocity stacks/K20a ITR cams, with adjustable ex. cam sprocket
Suspension: Full adjustable coilovers front and rear
Brakes: 4 pistons "big brake kit" up front/rear disc converion in rear
Frame: tubluar front subframe designed for K-series mini converion/ Customs cage with attachment points to subframe.
electronics: Powered my Hondata K-pro, display controlled by Rackpac digital cluster. More pics to come when i get the car back from Lejeune once the cage is in.

enjoy.
