Bike engined trackday mini project
Discussion
Hey guys,
I am a newcomer to the forum here. I am currently in the process of building a FWD yamaha R1 powered classic mini with my friend James. In December 2007 I purchased a 2003 yamaha R1 motor. Since then we have modified the standard subframe and have fabricated a custom engine frame. We are at the point of sorting out the drivetrain at the moment and getting the diff/sprocket into the car. I have a project website (www.r1manx.com) and plenty of pictures uploaded (www.flickr.com/r1manx) so please feel free to take a look, I am grateful for any advice or constructive criticism regarding the build from people on this forum. Cheers everyone, I can't wait to get her lit!

Have you picked up a copy of Practical Performance Car (PPC) this month? There is an R1 engined Mini in there with teh standard subframe modified to take trhe bike engine etc etc... Apparently the chap is going to produce a kit, so you might want to get in touch with him for some advice and parts etc etc. Hope that helps. Dom
