Well Done! I can't wait to see this in person. I like the Mid Canada Mini Group plaques. For those stuck in the middle province come check out the All British Car Show at the Forks on July 17th 2022.

perfectly executed. would love to have an original mini and in time build it into something similar to this.

Always boosts the spirits when you all put up more "Mini"

[kashvirsingh]

Woah! this is exactly what I am after! Nicely done

[ramonnunez]

Definitely going to D swap my mini when I get a chance, hopefully will be able to find a supercharger for the D series too! That'd be a fun little car

[Hangin_With_Shane]

Nicely done 🔥
I always enjoy watching your content and cars!

[rbirdi]

Excellent build.. nice to see the simple approach..💯

[peterallen]

Another nice one rolls out. Well done mates

I think you guys should have a look at the Nissan cg13de conversions, I absolutely love mine and it fits the light touch modern upgrade to the A series theme really well, it's even a 1275cc! I was able to keep my inner wings and use the standard radiator position (no it doesn't overheat). Weight is the same on mine but I probably overbuilt my subframe so it could definitely come out lighter.

Very nice build. I'd be interested in some more detail regarding connecting the new engine harness into the existing wiring. Also, what did you use to source the 180 bend on the intake? I'm preparing to do this exact build on my 95 SPI. I assume the alternator is still in the fender, any clearance issues with the air filter?

Wow, I know that Mini! (And my local Canadian Tire).

[Hugotrf]

Can I see pict from door panels? Like the style

[fishmonger]

love what you do man such awesome projects

[markthibault]

Very cool build. How hard is it to find a good left hand drive chassis for a project like this?

[matdddd]

A D16 is such a better choice than a B series engine.

[chrisb]

I love the attention to detail ypu guys apply to your projects. Would a b16 swap be possible keeping everything looking as stock as this?

[Cobblepot]

Luv a mini. Second favorite car after Porsche 911.

First great video. What’s your Pros and cons, of a Mini 1380 High Performance Engine with 5 speed vs D16 Y8 VTEC engine, high performance reliable street/track use? I love the stock look of the 1965 Mini Cooper S. This one look tall? Thanks

[hosrow]

Another great video. This is such an enticing idea, what is the average cost of an engine swap.

[dauwg]

Wow...so nice. Does anyone know how much this roughly costs?
