VTEC Mini Ep 8 - ARCHES
Vložit

- Creating the look of the car is a fun part of every build. The wide wheels and arches on this mini are defining and eye-catching features, so it's important that they sit right. After they're installed we bring you into a part of our creative process as we play with vinyl and paint to come up with the livery.
Check back for coming episodes.

I'm nearly 64, in 1975 I had a 1071 Cooper S, (1963)
How I loved that car,,,
649 cam, straight cut box, twin inch and a half's
LCB,, etc, etc,
those were the days, !!
(long before you guys were born,),,
atb, from England,,
The best episode you guys have ever done!
Pretty hot indeed!!! The fiberglass file sounds like a dog barking late at night at nothing!!
Looks awesome... you guys as a team work so well... you get everyone’s input without shutting anyone down,,, then when all is said and done the end result is so much cooler than going with one person’s solo idea. Well done... well done indeed.
Love the fitment of the arches 'flares' gives the mini the right stance-look. Looking forward to seeing what you've done with the graphics! 😊
So stoked to see the final episode. This has been a fun series. Thanks for sharing!
I’ll be super excited when I get to this point in my build. Waiting on some body panels. Then I’m going to sand blast the body. Mini is looking great!!
I just picked up a 1275 GT clubman project car. I live in Ottawa Ontario and I've never seen one around here. I see a VTEC swap in its future 😄
So glad I found this channel. Will do as a replacement for Street Banditos. Rip.
So good looking. Thank u for the effort. now its patience for the next episode..
I'm definitely stealing that matte black number board idea. I'm looking forward to the next episode too.
looks awesome! Like what others have said, every video stands on the shoulders of the last as you guys find your groove
Are the tabs enough to stiffen up the fenders? I know it’s common to weld on a new a lip that’s sold to stiffen it back up
Love your content - pretty sick build! Keep on going guys...
Best regards form Germany :)
N. P. Team Deutschland haha
Awesome job guys! Congrats from Brazil!
Cringed when they cut the body a little, but is satisfied when seeing the new custom wheel arches. Keep up the good work guys! Definitely will know where to go once I want to get my own Mini in the future. Even though I'm from the U.S it's gonna be worth it.
Hope you are using taper wheel bearings. With the offset of the wheel and that spacer it will put alot of load on the bearings
thats a very nice trick with the taps. I have the same flares and that would be handy before I put mine on
Love the work, planning a turbo vtec build on a 75 clubman myself. Something I'm stuck on is exactly how to choose the best wheels to suit (Happy to cut and flare - the bigger and fatter wheel i can fit the better).
Keep up the good work lads
Wheel choice is a fun one. Thanks!
what wheels and arches did you end up going for, putting a b18c into 76 mini here in Australia
This channel is fantastic
Great project. Greetings from the UK :)
You can alter the rear arches. You cut the outer skin on a line with the outer edge of the inner arch, trim the inner arch to match and fill the resulting gap with sheet steel welded in. This is called "tubbing" and gives you about an inch or a bit more of height.
😂 sounds like my bed on a good day 😂
Love watching this build and especially love how it's filmed.
With the stripes.. you could have done them in a matt vinyl the same colour as the car, this would have given the subtle look you were after.
Loved binge watching this project!
What's the size and offset of those wheels?
Beauty place with beauty car.
Using a grinder like that , in a few months you’ll see little brown marks in the paint - been there done that .
Not sure why you would say you can’t cut the rear arches? Used to be a common thing over here, you just need to weld a strip between the top of the arch and the side panel. A mini tub style.
Will you challenge mad obsession motorsports by racing the mini vtec against project binky? That would be sick. You can ship that little thing overseas no problem... right?
Damnit that Mini looks and sounds sexy. I want it!!!!
What have you done for the rear suspension setup to prevent tire rub? Either on this or other builds. I'm on new cones with highlows, GAZ shocks, and 10" wheels with slight poke. Maybe 2.5 fingers of clearance. I get rub on bumps, especially with a passenger. Anything higher than the lowest damper setting is crazy bouncy... I've read mixed things about putting bump stops on the rear. Thoughts? Are coils the way to go?
Like the stance
hi what about Stevestonmotorco. logo in white on the black background and also give the the stripes a slight retro look by cutting out a pinstripe from that wide black stripe that you have. The old Britax sponsored Minis had something similar, you could even go a step further with paint and give it a worn slightly vintage look.Great project keep up the good work.
Did you guys consider the 225/45 Toyo R888 tires? Much beefier and stickier than the 175/50 Yokos. Really give the car a serious stance and attitude.
Bit sunburnt??
mini austin foooooor tuning
Great stuff...but what about some ear protection and dust masks when cutting fibreglass?.
Respiratory protection is always strongly recommended when working with fiberglass.
Hi where did u get the coil over shocks?
I'm curious.. how do you rust proof it when you cut into the panels? I have used paint in the past but rust always seems to come at some point :(
Some paint is still probably the best way
What does it cost o build something like this?
Metallic grey with white or black racing stripes
what are the wheels and tires?
Nice !, almost as good as the one MightCarMods did ;-)
Isn't the dust from fibreglass as bad as asbestos?
Yes
What suspension are you running on this mini?
Please one day teach us how you'd make your own vtec (in mini) subframe😭❤️
I HIGHLY recommend contacting Carl Austin over at Force Racing Wheels in the UK (www.force-racing.co.uk/wheels/). He makes THE most incredible selection of custom billet 3-piece wheels for the Mini.
What rims are these ?
:0 25 degrees, this guy needs to see a doctor asap!!!
I made flares for my k swapped 1974 Civic in a similiar fashion to how you slit the fenders and pulled them
Follow the build on ig @74k_civic
Distributor coil edit power to relay woa
Mighty car mods done it first
Do you set the suspension on its lowest setting before lining up the flares ?
We set it on the higher side for ground clearance

Thanks for the reply
Not gonna lie, the cutting was kinda hard to watch. It's looking sick though guys, nice work.
👍
👏🏼👍🏽
4:45 song?
すごい発想力で行動力だと思うけど、絶対乗りにくいと思う。これなら軽自動車に載せた方が楽しめる。
should have gone with the old GT side stripe but put VTEC in the end rather than the 1275 GT
I second this...
Great build, camera angles leave much to be desired
Guys first of all i love your videos but at 5:40 please don't use this tool with out protection it can Damage your face seriously !use protections on face and on tool this tool it's equiped with a shell normally
You need a better camera man😂
Yes, fire that guy!
