After loads of hard work, modifying the allspeed frame and head scratching, ive managed to fit a Honda Civic radiator into my mini, i bought one of the cheap online alloy Civic Vtec radiators and im very impressed with the quality. It was only cheap, but the welds are good and they have a goodwrite up on the forums.

So out came the dremel, and more carbon fibre got cut to pieces... and theres still good space for a slimline fan :)

The Honda Turbo Vtec conversion is taking much longer than expected, one step forward, two steps back at the moment!

My sump rusted though, so i replaced it, and at the same time i welded in some baffles too:

I also decided that i needed to fit in a bigger radiator, which is impossible with the Allspeed mini subframe. I had to modify it by cutting out the bar like this:

I cut the bar, flipped it round and rewelded it in place. I now have enough space to fit in a Honda Civic full radiator.

Ive not been able to update progress while my server has been down after being hacked in July, here are some update photos... let let the photos do the talking :)

Im very sorry to everone involved, my website was hacked in June 2010, i was away in Cuba on holiday, it really couldnt have happened at a worse time! Luckily i take regular backups so i was able to restore the website, and since then i have moved onto a dedicated web server. Its been an absolute nightmare, but finally all my websites are back up and running, and because of the dedicated server getting everything back up and running should never take so long again, i just hope it never happens again :(
