This weekend I join R53 Owners Club at the beautiful Beaulieu in the New Forest. I'm attending the Mini Cooper Rego show, dubbed to be the biggest MINI show of the year!
My channel has been fairly heavily overrun with my big 4wd's, they won't be going anywhere with many more trips to come...but it's also time for a new project. Enter the K Swap Mini idea! Whilst Covid - 19 is currently screwing the world, it's become increasingly difficult to go on any trips, so all my focus will be on the K Swap ...

So nice that father and son are making memories together. I do hope he got himself a mini cooper and you enjoy a road trip together. I am 65 and enjoy my 53 reg brg mini cooper every time I drive her. I also owned 2 original Mini's one a 1275 gt in the 70s and one in early 90s. They are an iconic good looking fun little car. Best Wishes 2U.

15:11 Must be so tricky driving that on the roads with all the potholes 🕳 and speed bumps 😮

@K03sport 3 месяца назад

it's shows like this that made me regret buying a 2004 GTI 1.8t 5M (in 2004) and not buying a 2004 MCS. Had the GTI for 15 yrs. But driving a MCS after buying the GTI gave me huge buyers remorse....would the MCS have lasted just as long? Probably. It was the go-kart I was after. 2nd choice was a NB Miata, followed by a Legacy GT Spec-B. 2004-2005 was a great year for cars....... 🏁

Really good to meet you at last Tom, after watching all your videos. Didnt get to see you at the show, but enjoyed our chat at the Master Builders Hotel. What a beautiful place. Good luck with your minis.

Hey Richard, great to meet you too. Your 53 is spectacular! Look forward to meeting up again soon

Great to see you are doin alright and to know the grey mini still exists, been a while, almost worried you went to offroading fulltime and ditched the Mini xD congrats on the blue one

@ApexGears 3 года назад

Between moving house and sorting work out getting time to push the kswap has been a premium! But all good here thank you 😁

Nice chatting to you on the day, I've only just stumbled on this video now lol, I'm the owner of the one with the small momo steering wheel (y3cka) . The wheel is a "momo millenium evolution " 👌👌

Whats the best reasonably loud exhaust systems for r53 ... Too many to choose from.

Nice to see Sussex Road Race Motorsport on side of your car Kevins a top bloke, you missed so many other good cars on the stand at other end to where you parked in footage

@ApexGears 2 года назад

I'll try to get them all in next time mate. Thanks for stopping & watching 😁

Where was this im so upset I didn't know about this

@legendkhanproductions5263 2 года назад

Guys when see mini you be shocked to see many upgrades and much more done to it

@thisisapen 2 года назад

how are you finding the TD 1.2’s? Day/night difference over OEM imo!

@ApexGears 2 года назад

I ran the TD's before on other cars and yep they're extremely lightweight and make a huge difference! I love 'em! I've got a few sets of wheels but set with these ones for now.

@autopov1459 2 года назад

what road is this ? at 4:00 i live in the area and would love to drive it

@legendkhanproductions5263 2 года назад

Can you let me know when the one is please everyone going have drop theirs jaw when they see my mini it's completely a one off too much done to it out standing.

@sleepercell9926 2 года назад

What seats have you put in that? I'm too big to fit in the standard R53 seats

@ApexGears 2 года назад

The seats are BB6 seats from a company called BB7 - you can find them mostly on Ebay. Really nice seat!

@TheMalakyte 3 года назад

What hotel did you stay at? I might do this and stay over next year.

@ApexGears 3 года назад

We stayed at 'The Master Builders', it was great..the food was unreal. We'll be booking it again for next years show.

@IsraelitesUnited 2 года назад

Julian Goulbourne0 seconds ago Is it possible to discharge the ac radiator by yourself if you want to replace the ac radiator I know there are two ports of the left hand side of the mini r53/r52/passanger side.. I wanted to change the ac radiator.

@ApexGears 2 года назад

It is possible sure but I'd recommend a garage doing it. The gases released are toxic and there's a ton of pressure in the system too.

@owensmith7530 2 года назад

It is illegal (in the UK at least, probably also in EU) to release air con gasses into the atmosphere, they are extremely powerful greenhouse gases. Garages need a licence to work with them and they use equipment to capture it on extraction.

Hey bud, good video, I can’t remember if we got to chat the day was bit of a blur 🙈

@ApexGears 2 года назад

We spoke momentarily but hopefully catch up properly soon Tim 👌🏼

@jenkszy3684 3 года назад

how much you reckon the whole K swap has cost if you don’t mind me asking bud, really want to put a K20 in my R50 instead of buying an R53 but not sure if it’ll cost too much

@ApexGears 3 года назад

Hey mate, I'll be going through a whole costings video over the next couple of weeks. It's a fair chunk of change if I'm honest.

@jenkszy3684 3 года назад

@@ApexGears sorted mate ill look out for that & hopefully it’s not too much money haha would love a k series engine in one of these little cars such a great chassis let down by the potential of the engine
