i had the mini in its stock form and the motor was shot and needed a rebuild.. so here we are today

if you can get a mini with no engine or not runnin you can prob get the car for $2k and MiniTec sells a almost bolt up kit for $2500 then you need the engine/tranny and radiator and some other small stuff, but your on your way with all that stuff... they are at www.superfastminis.com...

I would learn how to drive it before you start putting aftermarket parts on. Is there any way you can beef up the suspension to make it a little more stable with that heavier, more powerful engine in it?

it has a full custom suspension....... theres nothing stock in the front of that car.. brakes, suspension (springs, shocks), fully adjustible toe/camber... fully adj ride height... everything is pretty much custom and new....
