how much would it cost to get one built, do you reckon, using a sound roadworthy donor? in KYMA 4 they say 3.5K but thats home built, anyone have any experience with honda minis?

Depends on spec.

B18C6 Spec R lump, DTA management and Weber throttle bodies will be way over £3,500 before you go near a spanner.

Subframe, driveshafts and suspension you are looking at around £1500.

So £1500 plus engine and induction kit plus labour if you are paying someone.

Both Watsons and SAE Mini VTEC both charge around £10K for a drive in drive out conversion and it takes between 2 and 3 months.

So it's more of a "drive in, drive home, wait for 3 months, drive back, drive out" conversion, then?
