Most VTEC's cost the same as some used MINI's.

 

The Vtec minis I'm familiar with cost more than new base model MINIS!

 

lol that would be sick to see a cage in a classic mini, it will deff. help with accidents. All I need to do it keep looking for a classic. If I find one then you guys will have a new member

 

Yeah I know The Vtec mini's cost alot, but I never said I was buying it straight out, I said over a period of time I would buy part after part until I got all parts needed for the swap, unless I could find a shell than I could go right ahead and by a used Vtec motor. atleast I could do that and save money. I don't have the money right now to put out on a new Mini.
