Glad you enjoyed the car mate. Gotta give mad props to Dose Vader (Miles) up at AM auto in QLD for all his amazing work on this car. And congrats to you for managing to fit inside it!

Bet Moog saw one of my videos and couldnt resist plonking a b-series in his mini 😉

@TornadoCAN99 3 года назад

I'm 6'1" and initially had trouble in my '88 Mini, but all it needed was to add seat position extender brackets....and to remove the steering drop bracket a previous/shorter owner had fitted. Now it fits me much better. This video shows what happens if tall and using a stock seat position

@Drew_peaballs_128 6 лет назад

Nice episode! Gives a far greater appreciation of the whole build!

@eppyz 6 лет назад

Couple of things. 1. Tuning Fork is amazing at what he does 👍 2. This Mini is one of my personal favorite MCM mods builds, just looks like it would be so much fun to drive. 3. Lastly watching Tuning Fork drive this car was like watching 30 clowns getting out of a VW bug. Just comical to watch 😂. You guys over at Haltech really know your stuff and seem like a great group of people, keep up the good work 👍

@haltech 6 лет назад

Thanks:)

@dentjoener 6 лет назад

I wonder how big tuning fork is, being a tall dude myself. I believe he's taller than I am :)

@albonfilms 6 лет назад

Fantastic episode, Scotty! Love the longer, "review-style" format! You look like the perfect fit in that Mini! 😅

@haltech 6 лет назад

We wouldn't go as far as saying "perfect fit" but he couldn't stop smiling for days after that weekend.

@Steezypleasy 6 лет назад

The first shot at 0:10 makes it look like a forced perspective shot, as if the car is a toy closer to us. Just because the roof is up to his waist haha.

@bennylloyd-willner9667 6 лет назад

Haltech I think the smile came from his knees pushing up the corners of his mouth😁😁

You know the worst thing about this video? The feeling of homesickness you feel when you recognise some of the places and roads the car is being taken for a fang on.

@aexwor1 5 лет назад

I change gear around 1750rpm. I cruise on the motorway around 2500-3000rpm. The engine red-lines at 4750rpm. Boost kicking in around 6000rpm is a completely alien concept to me. Found this through MCM & Skid Factory; seeing it all transform from two blokes in a driveway to technical videos has been a pleasure, the progression has been natural and much as I try I will never love the whole group of series as much as you all always seem to making it and living it.

@deanoscott 6 лет назад

@Labergemusic 6 лет назад

Wow this is so hugely interesting. I didn't follow the build in the most detail so getting this summary of the engine is PERFECT. Love this kind of video.

@Alex-yx4vd 6 лет назад

Fantastic show. Glad RU-vid found me this channel. Excellent presentation, i learnt something new, the editing was great. Just enough of everything. Subscribed and going to watch through all your vids so i can become a touch smarter.

@STocKi777 6 лет назад

When you guys were in Perth last, I was driving home from work through the suburb of BibraLake. I saw this little beast turning right, coming around a round about. As I was heading straight throu the round about, I gave chase and planted my silver TT 300zx to catch up. once I pulled up along side it... I see the Moog's big cheesy smile as he's giving me the 'chop' signal. I knew nothing of MCM at the time... but that's the night where my addiction to your channel started.

@MrSkysommer 6 лет назад

Another epic explanation from the Tuning Fork, if only you looked more comfy in the driver seat. Awesome credits to you Scott for passion and knowledge.

@MrVolksbeetle 6 лет назад

I'm still amazed that you can get in and out of it. This is one of my favorite builds. So much work to supercharge the OG engine, then so much MORE work to shoehorn that B16 in.

@SirDaffyD 6 лет назад

Great informative video Scott. There's one thing I'm sure we all wanted to see though. We saw you sitting inside the car driving with your knees almost up around your ears, and you kneeling at the front of the car and still being taller than the car, But we didn't get to see you untangle yourself getting out of the car. Now that would've been a good laugh. Keep the great videos coming.

@macjordan3901 5 лет назад

Canadian naysayer here. I watched the build and that was a challenge that personally I would not take on. This is a cool little ride and the builders deserve a pat on the back. But with no malice or hard feelings intended. One way or another this car is a .......?? dunno what to say...?..... but still in its own way damned impressive I guess.
