Check you post in the second gen forum.
Theres 2 mini coopers in Tampa area with rotaries,Im not sure which engine though.
You need to decide what engine willbe better for you...
12A
13B N/A
13BT
20 B
Once you knwo what engine then decide on the carb set up,you can make a any 13b into a carbed engine and 12As came carbed

thats sounds kinda odd,the only reason i can think that someone would wanna do this is to have a mini in a different class..that is if its being x'ed or rallied.

Every car should have a rotary.....
Although, the mini has unbelievably great handling on its own as a FWD lightweight sub-compact car. Why would you want to change it, and throw it all off?
Just a novelty item?

HEy, Brealistic, there is a MINI race team that is always out at the SCCA road races around here. One of the minis has like a 200 horse 1.3 liter that reves around 9500. this car is awsome!!!! has a wide body kit, full aero package, and always runs in the front of its ITE class...... the kicker, its painted Hot PInk and driven by a chick, Pretty damn cool.

Mini's were the first space efficient transverse engine front wheel drive car in the mass market. That is their main claim to fame. They are the antithesis of rear drive.
