    cheers for that buddy. yeah a couple of my mates are building up mini's they have gone all-out A-series though, serious money spent, straight cut 'box, full webers, seven port heads. personally i can't see the appeal when they will spend 4k on just the engine when i could rip a pgt apart and have easy power and relatively cheap tuning capabilities. are you staying 1.4? or considering 1.6 or stroker?
