piston gone bye bye (original mini)

Kinda funny, the miata is the biggest car I own right now. The heaviest too. Going to drop the b18c5r honda motor in the 1990 (blue one) and build a 1310 7 port for the 1965 (green one)... green one is at 1350 lbs give or take and the blue one is at 1575.
I can't stand the dubs on the blue one (12 inch wheels) I am going to go with 10's like on the green one (4pots under there though!)

K20 is an amazing motor. Amazing.

The car I wanted to do before the miata. Wish K20's werent so ******* expensive.
Now for numbers, with very little tuning the car is making over 200whp with a very quiet exhaust and tied with a JDM 6 speed transmission accelerates like a rocket. The car feels very tight and has great feel due the extra bracing and a custom alignment.
For the gas mileage folks, so far with very little tuning the car has averaged 48mpg with about 60% highway and the rest stop and go. This includes the 7 runs on the dyno. I’m confidant it will break 55+mpg once tuned. With the ability of the Hondata K-Pro we have had the car at 19-1 AF ratio with 40 degree of advance with no issues.

10's FTW... people stop me in the street asking what size are those?? Im doing a rear subframe / rear brake rebuild shortly... keep her nice snuggled in the garage for being 45 years old. But Still the MOST FUN TO DRIVE.
I had to put a headgasket on my car one time, in a serv station parkinglot. Either that or no go home.
Ive seen plenty of pistons look like that on the turbomini forums. Goodluck with the rebuild.

jedduh01, what width are those? I have 10x6 revo's on my 65. I want to run 10's with no flares on my 90. From what I have seen 10x5's minilites with "s" brakes and aluminum superfins out back will fit with no flares...then again..can't be certain... I may go KADS upfront on this one as well. But the still out just like s brakes.

Ill do a measure for you tomorrow. I want to say im at 6 also. I ran the normal size Yoko A008's forever. But for my cooper disks the front track is for sure wider than the rear. Ive got S brakes Up front, Stock drums on the rear with a Small .25 spacer on the rear too.. Its a little narrow in the rear if you want to be square, but for the ride, (little oversteery) but I think its fine. Ill have a wheel off in a day or 2.
