[R1 Besikting help]

Thanks for taking the time to reply guys!

I am aware of the power to weight ratio. I think that the mini should weigh around 700 - 850kg, which is pretty border line regarding the SFRO rules.

The kit in question is - http://www.pro-motive.co.uk/R1KitInfo.html

Apart from the engine, the only other major modification to the mini is a change in front subframe. All mini suspension etc are retained.

Do you think this is will be an amatörbyggd or ombyggt fordon?

I have been following that mini build, its extreme. I wouldn't be attempting anything close to that!

[R1 Besikting help]

Hi all,

I have had a good look around your forum, and there seems to be lots of interesting things going on!

Unfortunately I dont own a locost or similar. I actually own a classic mini. I am planning a build of a second mini, featuring a r1 engine, mounted in the front and driving the front wheels.

I should also point out that i cant write Swedish, I am a Scot living here!

Anyway back to the mini build; i have struggled to find a definitive answer on whether I will be able to reg besiktning or get the car through a SFRO check with an r1 engine. SO i though i might try my luck here (as you seem to be well informed).

Has anyone managed to get their car with an R1 through a reg besiktning? or even SFRO.

I have spoken to SFRO, but they where very vague, to whether the car would pass or not. now i dont want to spend 150, 000 Kr building the car for it not to pass, so any advice would be helpful.

Many thanks

Craig
