Never seen the point in modifying mini engines to this degree. My 1979 1000 feels like youre doing a 60 when you're doing 30! Original A-Series for the win, they managed to win the monte carlo with a standard engine so this really is slightly pointless, i love the look, just not the power!
@jewses Yeah I know that, but it is still shit power by todays standards, you buy regular superminis with that much power today. I never said it wasnt fast, just how different the times are that back then 16v and twincam were a specialty, yet now they are on everything.
@Enzer89 yeah but todays "superminis" aren't using an ancient A series =P. not to mention they are a whole lot bigger than the mini (If we have the same definition of "regular superminis"). But i agree with you, this is a common conversion nowadays and it certainly doesn't cost 50k to do it or to get that much power.
@pennypacker93 that's not a VTEC honda engine, that's a 16V head on a A-series block, there's a few companies doing it, this one is a Jack Knight head, they'r similar to the KAD heads, there's too 16v valve conversions using BMW motorcycle heads. so that's not "just" an engine conversion.
@Enzer89 your a moron if ur claiming shit power!!!!!! the thing weighs as much as my right ass cheek and using 1.4 liters to pull 160 big ones. i wud take this baby any day!!!!!!!
@Enzer89 yeah - well mate a 1959 mini had about 34 bhp when it came out- and the same car above 150 bhp...so do the maths lets take a new BMW Mini cooper and give it what 700 bhp?
By the time you can drive the work on it should be done then? ;). Btw, how does a 14 year old earn enough money to restore a car?, some of the parts are in the thousands and beyond. Parents?
@MrDeano324 yes hard to belive right its a complete car and some times it over whelms me to do the workkbut its a complete car and my uncle owns a work shop outside his hous where i have got all the equipment that i need like welders grinders drills and metrics and normal spanners i think the question is hopw much will this cost me.... around 1750 i can make my dash board and accesories i have taken a pause on it but will be welding it within the next week i hope check out my vidsit on there
I've gotta mini n only paid 500 quid for it and it smoked an Audi a4 round a roundabout when I first got it and last week I beat my mates 1 litre saxo in a little drag race n I'm only in starting stages of tuning it :D
@SuperWhoopass I guess you americans are used to 600HP fuel guzzler SUVs which weigh the earth and have a top speed of 10mph. The mini weighs less than a tonne so the power to weight ratio is huge. Jeremy said that the car goes from 0-60 in 5 seconds, not even some supercars can do that! So stop being so obnoxious next time!
You can achieve the same effect for rather less than 50 000£. You climb into a metal box with a pile driver, start it up, then ask someone to push you off a cliff.
i hate the way clarkson always makes the cars sound really good at the beginning and then by the end of him testing/ driving the car he starts to talk about the bad parts and it makes you think that the car was cool and now its SHIT.
50 grand? are you kidding me? choose between this pile of shit and a used 2008 BMW M5. i'll choose the m5 even if i know that im going to crash and die on the first day.
Man some of you know fuck all about cars, a dog box is not a gearbox that allows you to change gear without a clutch. That's a sequential box, a dog box is just a different layout between 1&2 gear (and 2nd to 3rd) due to the higher frequency of changing from 2nd to 3rd while racing they are in line, as oppose to having to go up and across. As for 16v mini's you could build one for 50p nowadays!
@Mattiphone3743 it's you who don't know fuck all about cars, sir. they're called dogboxs because of the dog tooth gears they use, and you can do clutchless shifts with a dog box.
@kyleisreallycool Oh really mate, why don't you look on the Internet, or maybe you could listen to when Jeremy says the gearbox is a "straight cut, dog box". Straight cut, meaning the gears are straight cut as oppose to being helacial (at an angle). So in this instance he's only describing the box layout. Mate I know what a dog box is, but it doesn't mean ALL of them are cluchless. This is not a cluchless mini, find the spec on it if you want. 16v mini's have no need for a cluchless shift.
@orange618m "Dog" refers to how the gears are selected and engaged within the box. I know my explanation wasn't 100% accurate, but I tend not to bother when these morons wouldn't have a clue what I was on about anyway.....
@koreannow can you even read? Are you retarded? I've been arguing the point that this is a mini with a standard clutch system, that it is not a clutchless shift mini..... Wtf are you on about.
@Mattiphone3743 mate you the dumb fuck who cant read i didnt say its a clutcheless shift i said just because it has a clutch doesnt mean you have to use it. you can clutchless shift any manual doesnt matter fuck about the cut NOW FUCK OFF BACK TO THE MILK BAR YOU KIWI CUNT
clarkson dosent know whatta dog box or straight cut gears are haha! SHows how much he knows about cars. Oh yeah, he dosen't he's a tv presenter. People forget that.
@d4zcr4n Lol you are all idiots. This was filmed yeeeaaarrrss ago. A dog box was a rare thing to come across in them days so he had never heard if it. Or he had heard of it but was just trying to be humorous for the viewers.
@JohnL2011 You havin a laugh?? we have had dog leg gearboxes since the 70's!!!! aven the origional m3 had a dog leg gearbox in the mid 80s and that car was hella popular here in europe/britain, this was filmed in fucking 1998 so its not even that old and you got it the wrong way round back then a lotta cars had a dog box but nowadays its a rareee thing, lol
@dilawer321 Yeah. Was a long day xD. But still i bet Jezza does know what it is, he just pretended he doesn't for a bit of humour. It put a smile on my face lol.
@CrossCheckCharlton But it's this simplicity, the tin can on wheels, that we love so much about our cars! Real metal and not reformed plastic like you find on your standard American muscle car. American monsters may have the power, but we have all the style.
@buttonisbest thats just a twin cam cylinder head ahahaa same mini block under neath,check up the twin cam conversion kit :) well worth the money if you want a very fast mini
@d4zcr4n Agreed; And as replied to 1 other mini vid. Why not a 911 [ 300+ h.p.] and save huge bucks. Although..... the cost of a new mini cooper in Can. is thru the roof. The stock minis, all over the roads 35 - 40 yrs. ago got extinct in a few short yrs.
As diid the VW in all guises a little earlier... What? Did the Japs wave a magic wand and turn them into 510s,240s,RX3s and in turn, the Koreans paid 'em back with the Hyun-"die hard"
man, i asked a Rally company in the UK that builds WRC cars, for a quote on a 6 speed SEQ gearbox + custom engine mounts + custom bell bousing for the clutch + custom axles + pneumatic shifter (flappy padles), it was almost 20.000 pound.
what are the reliability like on these twin cams? 50k is a right kick in the crumpet i would have thought the engine/transmission would not be much more than 10k tops
I'd rather have this Mini Cooper he's driving than have a mustang or camaro , thats just me, I like sleeper cars, I'd rather have something everyone thought was slow, then surprise them. He said 160 HP..? 250 HP would be even better and then slightly wider tires to hug the road better, XD

1.8 16v, acceleration 0-62m/h in 7,x second from fabrik.
Add a remus exhaust and airfilter + some tweeks and you are below 7 seconds.
it was faster than any V8 pushrod from that same.
the Audi RS2 designed porsche and only 315hp is twice as fast as any pushrod from that same time.
i bet 1000us$

I'd rather have this Mini Cooper he's driving than have a mustang or camaro , thats just me, I like sleeper cars, I'd rather have something everyone thought was slow, then surprise them. He said 160 HP..? 250 HP would be even better and then slightly wider tires to hug the road better, XD

Easy to do when you put a Honda VTEC B-series or K-series into it . Search VTEC mini. BRACE YOURSELF... then ROCK AND ROLL !!!!!!!

Vtec and this the different. I think is the handling. I know Vtec run straight is very very fast. I don't thing make turn is better than this.

@undergroundbasement you dont need 250 your power to weight ratio is like 300 horse to a ton

I owned a '74 1000, and it was the most uncomfortable car I ever owned, but, God, was it ever fun to drive!

Yes. I owned one MK5 1000 before. Now I had a 1972 850 only. But I like it.
