- I love a hot Mini and have driven quite a few BUT nothing prepared me for this car. Stunningly presented, very lightweight and loads of power !
At the rear of this car you will find the engine from a Honda Civic Type R, perhaps one of the best engines ever made. With VTEC and a 9000 rpm redline the engine produces 215hp in a car the weights only 750kg !
This car was built and prepared by ZCars. These guys do very special things to Minis and others in what they call Classics Reimagined. I hope to do ore with them in the future. For more info head over the their website...

You know it's fun when a middle aged man laughs like a teenage girl 🤣
@Conor Mcdonald oh don’t be such a fuddy duddy kill joy🤪
is that what you get out of this? go to the barbie channel!!!
Thats the beauty people dont umderstand. Cars are made to make u smile. There is no point in driving something if u r not smiling
I know he's having so much fun! Whee!🏎🤣👍
now, i want a classic mini in my life...
I bought one as my first car, it is still now the most fun car I've ever driven, it's like a go kart. But get ready to spend 3 times the money you think you will need to spend, it's a money pit. Still the best car I've ever owned
Bomb shell💨
This is going to hopefully be my first car and it’s a beautiful car to be honest.
This one, maybe?
I have always wanted one.
Pete Pete Pete, a mini is a mini not something you transplant everything other than a shell to cover the internals. While I applaud the engineering and application and the thrill of its ability, which is very impressive. The Project Binki Mini was enjoyable to watch by the Bad Obsession crew putting it together, yet to be finished though. All good. Cheers and thank you once again
Fabulous car, and what a nice bloke that owns it. I love that it’s discreet and he’s not showing off by covering it in wings, huge vents and painting it pearlescent orange
This is exactly the type of content I want to see more of. Brilliant!!! It's just fantastic to see people passionate about pushing the boundaries and bringing new tech to old cars. :)
Judging from the reaction it’s getting I plan to do more that for sure 👍
Absolutely Brilliant! I love projects like this that give new life to old classics.
the engine sounds amazing. that thing seems properly fast. The owner's collection is straight up my alley 😄
Love how Mini's make 13" Wheels look massive!
czcams.com/video/JwJjQdl0q7U/video.html These have 17s 😁
What a fantastic mini, never ceases to amaze me the engineering ability of people to marry all the parts together. Great video again, thank you 😁
My pleasure Jim 👍
One of the best car designs ever with one of the best NA Honda Vtec engine”s, can’t fail really! Shows where we’re going wrong with certain ideas in the modern era too imo. Ideal B-road car for me and I’m taller than you. Great viewing PP.
Cheers 👍
The modern era is dictated to by a few things- safety standards, and cost sharing.
For real. Newer cars are super heavy, big, low rev, turboed unreliable garbage. It's not hard to make a good car like this.
The whine of the engine, The Crackle and Pop of the Exhaust. Brilliant. Just Brilliant.
👍
This is an epic car. Little or not. The aesthetics meet the beast performance to create a not so tiny monster. Great content, great car.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Classic, with a twist! Can't wait to watch this.
I love classic minis since I was a child and my father had one... Just the looks, even without the silly engine. Love it.
👍
Fabulous car and a wonderful noise, what they have done to this car is absolutely outstanding. Cant wait to see the other cars of Daves.
Wow weeeeee!! That's Dat sound right thurr boy!! The sound of variable valve timing and life electronic control, aka VTEC.
Thanks love the Mini and performance and feedback must be amazing, also love the paint choice looks really cool with the arches and wide tyres
yes certainly is one of the coolest classic mini's, wicked, thanks Dave and Pete
Glad you enjoyed it mate. The reason I do CZcams 👍
That engine sure sounds mean!, lovely job.
👍
Wow what a beautiful Mini, can’t believe the speed she went. Must have been amazing. I found photos of my very first classic Mini (F Reg 1988) at the weekend and so wish I could have kept her but I do love my modern Mini it’s still such fun to drive.
LOVE the understated grey/black. Fantastic car ! I would love to see move videos of that thing ripping around, on a track. Congrats to the architect of that beast. Cheers !
Watched it again , amazed how it’s stays on the road , brilliant piece of work from Zcars . Every petrol head should have one 👍
👍
Excellent sleeper, wonderful classic brought back to life, love to own something just like that 👍🏿👊🏿
Great job of a classic, the wife and I are now on our third mini and love them.
Cars cars aren’t they 👍
Another great car combo of classic and amazing performance, love the variety of cars you share with us.
Thanks Dave. That’s the plan 👍
About 15yrs ago I came across an article on a Yellow Mini that had been Grafted on to an AW11 MR2 chassis and running gear . Looked awesome
Beautiful machine bud sounds epic 😈👌🏻, really enjoyed the video , being a big Honda enthusiast always nice to see the k series in different machines .. just about see the k series in most things now . Says a lot really. Cheers for the content mate .
Absolutely brilliant. My first car was a mini and I thought that was great. This must be something else.
I’d love to hear more about the build and engineering and the other cars in Daves collection.
I hope to actually go to ZCars and do a film there 👍
Love it! That is so cool! Classic minis are such good platforms as they are from factory, and this one has just been taken to the next level! I want one :)
I want one too 😂
Am speechless dude, it's bloody awesome.
Mad on a track, crazy on the road !
Absolutely insane in the wet !!
The mini handles like a go-kart but is tricky at the limit.
With the engine in the rear, I’m guessing it’ll be like a classic 911.
Understeer, then massive oversteer.
It’ll hang on until it doesn’t, then, because of the short wheelbase, come around very suddenly and quickly.
Thrilling to be sure, but not for the average driver.
Reminds me of the Giocattolo in the 80s. A mid-mounted 5ltr V8 in a front engined V6 Alfa Romeo Coupé.
Sweet!
I had a Alfa 1750 GTV when I was in my 20s that handled like that. like you were on rails, but if you pushed it too far would let go the rear very quickly. Great car I wish I hadn't sold it they are worth a small fortune now.
Great video! What a superb car. I love the way he’s kept it classic looking but made it into an animal. Even down to the modern grey paintwork. Look forward to seeing his next project 😀
Cheers Tim 👍
Love this, what a car and sound from the outside too 😮
A mega, mega mini. My boyhood dreams come true....brilliant.
I felt this car performing even on video,I am 6ft 2 had a mini use to Run A38 Brum to Bristol late night early morning..Your mini is Amazing
Amazing. I still have a couple of Mk1 Minis. I want one of those.
Amazing classic Mini, you forget how small they really are, that must have been pretty scary driving around in the wet conditions .
What an amazing car well done that man 😀😀
It was very scary 😂
Love seeing classic cars like this getting a reboot and topped off with wicked performance 💯
Very nice car. The shape, wheels, body accessories, the exhaust sound, the colours etc, the list is endless. I love it. Thanks for the video. Keep it up. 💯
Absolutely cool. I am a sucker for classic minis but this is on another level. Definitely considering getting one. Great channel. . .south out from South Africa
I love SA 🇿🇦
Oh wow 🤩 Your face was a picture. We’ve known Z Cars for a while and they produce incredible rear engined Classic Mini’s. This one certainly blew your doors off 😎
I am still gurning now 😂
Got a grin from one side to the other man, that’s fantastic car love it
Thanks Simon 👍
I've always wanted a mini.... after watching this I NEED one!
Absolutely love this channel! You do a FANTASTIC job! I recently bought a near mint 1968 Morris Mini with a 998. Now I must start saving for a Honda Vtec conversion! Too cool!!
Great to hear you are liking my vids 🙏🏻
Evening all. Looking forward to this. Love old minis 👋
Hi Ben 🙋♂️
It is so beautiful aesthetically and in the engineering sense
Garbage car ground clearance is zero car
It's absolutely amazing. So beautiful and powerful tiny car. I love it so so much.
This tell you anything is possible. I'm really digging the paint job. Awesome!
Absolutely amazing well done fella
Many years ago at a Dutch car meeting, I've seen a classic mini Cooper with a custom build v8 in it, no joke.
That is bad ass , love it , I need one of those !
Now that is a dream ride. Every detail is perfect.
beautiful, also love the simple interior
Cracking car, cannot wait to see his other cars. Really enjoying your channel Pete. 🤗
He has some proper interesting cars 👌
I recall a Mini racing in the early 60s that had a dohc Lotus Cortina engine and hand built gearbox replacing the BMC engine! So much power through the steering wheels it had difficulty with corners, ah memories, but this is nice...
Years ago I rode in an Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite which was a modified road rocket like this. It was insanely fast and as an open top car, it was incredible...
This thing is absolutely insane. Best build of 2020 imo.
Cheers 👍
Absolutely brilliant!!! The fun you could have with that mini at traffic lights!! Can’t wait to see the Fiat 500, outrageously brilliant!!!
I can’t wait either 😬😂
Drove one with 260bhp about 7 years ago always great work from zcars stunning car.
They sure are 👍
This is more than epic, great vid!
The national speed limit was adhered to at all times🤣 Sounds epic looks epic and goes and handles epic I like this one 👍
It was indeed 😬
@@PetrolPed are your pants on 🔥?
@@PetrolPed Can you smell something??
If we're talking about minis, binky would blow your mind
I love Mini Coopers, i had one when i was 20, a long time ago. Beautifully finished project.
Thanks Rafael 👍
That Mini is Insane!...what a beast...thanks for the video.
It sure is!
Wooooooow its coolest car ‼️ I like that colour scheme too 💯‼️
Just wow. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and goes amazing. In short....amazing!
Absolutely amazing loved it great colour, but I'm old, the engine should be in the front. That's all about a mini. 🤔
Yep 👍
Mini has always been my dream car.
What a mega mini, it’s what dreams are made for 👍👍👍👍👍🙏
The most beautiful machine I have ever seen. I would love to own that
When you are standing alongside this car the Mini looks like a corgi car mate 😊😊😊😊
It was tiny 😂
Didn't Mr. Bean's?
Bow down to the masters. Every factory Z car is an unequivocal embodiment of craftsmanship, commitment to excellence and boundless conversion imagination. Masters of the art. 🙏💯🙏💯
It's crazy!!
Mini body with powerfull engine, unbelieveble!!
so fast....!
I like this car!!
Nice dude...
Thumbs up from Autotune Indonesia dude...
Cheers 👍
sweet ride. i imagine it's like a go cart with a rocket strapped to it.
Pretty much 😂
Just when you thought you had seen all the modification that can be made to a mini along comes a fantastic motor like this. Wow, I know what I want for Christmas. (Need to work on the impressions Pete. LOL)
It’s on my Christmas list too 😂
i just found what i want to do with my life. Geezuz what a car.Thank you! Great
The joy on your face is priceless, what a fantastic little mini ;)
👍
These mini conversions are great and there are so many engine swaps possible.
One of the cars that used to show up locally had a turbo'd 1.6 CVH with nitrous that was heading towards 300 horsies.
Thing was ridiculous, but that's kinda the point I guess.
Blimey 😳
What an absolute pocket rocket. This mini is a work of art. 👍
Yes it looks absolutely Stunning ⭐️
Can't beat that, keep it up! That's the way cars should be done, big engines midget chassis. For good! Bests mates! No replacement for displacement!
Brilliant video, shame it was wet, but the potential for that car's performance is massive. Killer sound and handling. I bet the smell of Adrenalin was huge.
Oh yes 😂
Well, that was something special Peter.
It’s getting lots of love 👍
Really Awesome Build..I want this Vintage Mini
My first car was a mini brought back some great memories for me and looked like you had a blast mr petrol ped another great video keep up the fantastic work love the channel 💥👏👏👏
Cheers Matt 👍
Mask didn't matter. Your eyes told us what the performance was like.Brilliant
That good to hear 😷
Like at 6:50 when his eyes start darting about like pingpong balls and he first starts to fill his pants.... I could see the smile from a mile away!
@Conor Mcdonald Exactly. It was going well, until I saw the masks. Lost all credibility. Once people wake up, things won't get better😂
@Conor Mcdonald you again? Geez mate lighten up!
Awesome little mini! Your eyes said everything lol!
😂😂😂
Fantastic bit of engineering
Love it!!’
Many nice things about the car. The color and styling is great!! Engine is a whole mother level.
I want this in my life!!
...and it still has that raspy, rowdy, see-ya-later suckers, classic Mini sound...love it, love it, love it!!!
Bruh that’s vtec
That Mini is SICK!
thats a bloody marvelous beast of a ride... wow...
👍
Absolutely epic. Had an 850 mini 40 years ago souped with twin carbs and 215 tyres. Want want one again. Only thing is the wide tyres for a light car didn't have good grip on the wet, l spun off a few times, went back to 165 tyres for better grip. Look at Monte Carlo rally minis, all had narrow tyres for grip. Aside, congratulations on building this fantastic mini.
One of the best videos of 2020. What pandemic. Role on that 500. Give that owner a night hood.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I love mini and love sound of vtec engine... Nice video... Keep it up boss...
Love this i live only 2 miles from where we made them love this vidio n love the old mini Quality .
That vtec sounds mean as hell screaming on the inside of the car. Someone throw a turbo on that bad boy!!
That’s just incredible. Me and the wife just realised we need a classic so thanks for this. Awesome vid mate.
I want one too now 😂
Back in 2009 I bought an R1 powered Zcar mini.. absolutely insane pieces of kit but come with a rather large running cost due to the fact of extreme wear and tear.. definately miss the thing though, I remember Chris Allinson the founder of Zcars taking me out in his demo Vtec mini and it was absolutely insane!
That car is amazing and it sounds incredible. Smiles per gallon
Oh yes 🙌
