Honda K20 Swapped Mini Cooper - Vintage British Style With Modern Honda Power

The original Mini Cooper is a TINY vehicle. Probably lighter than a Civic. But, as is with a lot of cars of this era, it came with a pretty anemic motor setup compared with modern times. The solution? Honda power. Duh. This K20 swapped Mini is micro car perfection.

Something always confuses me when Hoonigan look at cars- they don't skip a beat over the idea of importing weird parts from Japan, but when they look at British cars its always "where do you get parts from?!?".

Larry: "Why does it pull to the left?" On this episode of Autofocus, Larry discovers torque steer edit: I wanted to add that I used to own a 2006 Kia Rio which had 110hp, manual, and 175 tires. I could easily spin tires in first and get tire chirp power shifting into second (yes I abused that car severely). I can't imagine 175s with 200hp, absolute insanity.

@TheGinger15765 3 года назад

@CoachDAReid 3 года назад

I think I remember those cars being featured in Car and Driver. Must have been a B16 swap, not a K20. I do remember Minitec needs to lengthen the shell by a fair bit to fit the Honda swap, which none of the commenters seem to recognize. That disqualifies this build in the eyes of Nik and Richard. Wasn’t it episode 1? “If it’s not 100 inches, it’s not a Mini.”

@lawrence.c94 3 года назад

to those who were weirded out with the horn sound - it is his homage to the Philippine Jeepney. Jeepneys are public transportations here at home that are mostly tricked out (stanced, straight pipes, loud sounds, etc.) and the horn sound is one of usual modifications you would find in the Jeepney.
