No chronic understeer, no torque steer just better all round.Would make a cracking "drifter" I reckon

Equally, if you stuff any kind of bike motor in to it, it's not really a mini is it?In my book, unless what you're after is a restoration, then if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and makes quacking noises, the it probably is a duck but I wouldn't need a DNA test to prove it's "really" a duck.
