    Absolutely outstanding. This is an awesome creation. No bling just basic essentials. A Wolf in Sheep's clothing.....200bhp. In a mini. That must make it a pocket rocket. I wouldn't change a thing. I imagine this would last forever. Pure genius. Well done guy's. Well done....... Also, thank you for taking your time and giving us a full informative video.

    Can you do a video about all the costs of a V-tec swap? Im 16 and right now Im restoring my 91 Mini with my dad. A V-Tec would be a pretty nice upgrade later on, but I have no idea how much something like that costs.

      I'm 17 and just helped my uncle do his swap on his 90, took us about a solid week and a half of labor (mostly tuning), but we were able to do it on a budget thanks to some decent salvage yards. Ended up only totalling about 2k, just gotta look around

I would love to see more videos on the engine mods like cutting and welding the intake manifold, etc. I would like to see more on the wiring too. I'm going to be building a b20z from a 2001 honda crv. 1976 mini cooper s...I have the mini and the crv, still working on the body work before I buy the subframes and pull the engine. Great video!

One suggestion: pay attention to 'uh' and 'um'...... it's a challenge to eliminate them from speaking, but it'll make your presentation even better than it already is (and it's already superb)..... looking forward to seeing more of these videos! Thank you

    Some English Vtec subframes keep the original mini suspension vs minitec use coil overs.

    • @Stevestonmotorco
      @Stevestonmotorco  Před 4 lety +1

      We prefer standard mini suspension, hands down. You can keep standard suspension design with a d series conversion but the width of the b series motor almost requires the custom arms of the mini-tec kit.
      This one remains comes in the rear.
