[MrJakethemegasnake]

Awesome!! I'm either gonna go 1360 or 1380, not sure yet. Thanks for the reply mate!!

[MrJSmithify]

are you sure they're 13 inch... the reason I ask is because I've been onto the image wheels website and they say that style only comes in 10 inch :/

[akura2]

@MrJSmithify "RM1

13" shown

Available in 13" - 16"

Sandwich mount shown

4 & 5 stud fitment"

[MrJSmithify]

@akura2 ohhh... they're RM1's...

that explains it!

thanks man!

great car by the way :D

[floyd96mini]

@akura2 what inch is the exhaust? I am asking this because that sounds just right for what i want because i dont want it to be to loud but so that it 'growles' ;)

[75thTheDude]

[MrJakethemegasnake]

That sounds amazing!!! I want my clubby to sound like that soon. What engine you running and what cam are you running if you don't mind me asking?? Cheers mate

[akura2]

@MrJakethemegasnake The cam I'm not sure of as it was in the car when I bought it... the engine is an A-series 1275 bored out to 1380.. Thanks mate

[TrueXile420]

[CarboNHeaD123]

Good man for sticking to the British Plates :P

[calvinnn1]

im sure this vid doesn't do it any justice

[akura2]

@calvinnn1 it doesn't... I can't wait to post a better video, but as a videographer myself, the only way to get it shot the way I want is to do it myself.. and that means someone else has to drive it... riiiight... LOL

[BritishMotocrossKid]

nice to see u still got the british plates

[Chingonshushu]

LOVE..

[mwoodford87]

[samsteryfc]

@mwoodford87 10secs standard from 1.3i, Fuel, don't talk about it, RUBBISH!

[ballyawful]

I'm 16 years old, owned a Mini since i was 12/13 (can't remember which) driving round my grandparent's farm, great fun.

[yodig1]

[minihegnirst]

Oh my fucking god. ♥♥

[KubikCv]

Love that Smoooooooooooors :)

[MrJSmithify]

could you post a link to those wheels and tyres please, they look sooooo good, thanks :)

[akura2]

@MrJSmithify Thanks... the wheels are from imagewheels dot co dot uk... they are the three-piece ones...

[MrLuke6593]

lool they hve our little minis in america ?? pmsl

[metalfrost]

haha transformers logo on the back :D

[whitbyjet65]

The REAL Mini.

[77Tonyz]

Very nice

[akura2]

@77Tonyz Thanks

[MrJackWaters]

Ive got a question, im thinking of getting a mini for my first car, would the insurance be a bitch for a 17 year old? probably be making mods like bodywork and small engine mods

[Ricardojr118]

@MrJackWaters im in the same position, for me a 998cc example would cost me about £1900 and i wouldnt advise not declaring mods, but if theyre small enough you can always get away with them, even if they come round to check they wont notice a faster cam or bigger valved cylinder head ;)

[GregPon]

@MrJackWaters hey im 17 and have got a classic mini cooper 1.3i, most of my mates are paying well over £1500 for their insurance mine is £795 go through footman james car insurance there by far the best and cheapest!

[dushbag38]

nice

[sparkyization]

Sweet! ;-)

[akura2]

@sparkyization Thanks

[sparkyization]

@akura2 Absofreekinlutely!!

Now, however, it is time for .....ROAD TRIP!!! About ten minutes of Angry-Mini (properly British Racing Green with a big # 5 decal on the door) touring the rolling countrySide at angry microMini warp speeds and wonderful sounding exhaust notes!!! :-D

[akura2]

@sparkyization FUnny you should say that... my car now has a light bar with four lights and a big number 8 on the doors right now (magnetic) too bad we can;'t post pics or links to pics on here...

[fbcorvette]

what cam are you running?

[akura2]

@fbcorvette Not sure about the cam, but it's pretty lumpy... it came with the car when bought it....

[s10withbass]

the rims are nice.

[akura2]

@s10withbass Thanks... 2.5-inch lips on the front rims, and 3.5 on the rear, staggered

[MrJSmithify]

@akura2 which spacers did you use? H&R?

[akura2]

@MrJSmithify I don't have any spacers on it... the rear wheels have spacers built into the back side of the centers... and the wheels are offset so that the rear wheels have a 3.5-inch lip and the fronts have a 2.5-inch.....

[TXTTOMMY]

lush

[akura2]

@TXTTOMMY Thanks....

[AnimepimpYT]

<3 oh god it sounds WONDERFUL!!! =D oh how i love classic mini's

[akura2]

@AnimepimpYT Thanks... I love my car

[LostProphetRalphy]

Still rockin the british plates - fair play to you

[akura2]

@LostProphetRalphy Thanks...LOL

[beagletube]

Sounds awesome.

[Pacerace100]

that sounds awesome! and i love the wheels too.

[gannar7]

what did yu do to get it to sound like that ?? i have a 1977 mini leyland i want it to sound like that !!

[akura2]

Cams, straight through exhaust, custom headers... I think that's about it

[gremlinkiller]

cam by the sound of it and what ever the exhaust system is

[Aeroluvgirl13]

ITS AN AUTOBOT!!!!! lol

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

bumble bee got a nice much needed makeover

[guitar1111111]

how much are these cars in the united states... i always wanted a right hand drive one

[akura2]

The prices vary based on where you get it and the condition.. a California Mini will cost more than an east coast Mini because the metal will be in better condition... but the prices range from $4k to $25k

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

about $15,000 to $50,000

[PeterAndres1Fan]

its an autobot :S

[evilbumblebee667]

saw your classic in Mini World...awesome stuff!

[akura2]

Thank you

[tomcatdcn]

lol ur mini is an autobot =P

[DJTheMuko]

hi i was just wondring if i could fit in a car like that im 190cm high i like the car alot and i want to get one.

[cawoodni01]

Ive got one and im 6 foot 4 which is pretty much 190 cm so yeah you should get in one without any trouble.....as long as you don't mind a slight lack of headroom haha

[wussell99]

yh ull fit im 6ft i gt loads room fit bucketseats and slide em back

[cherrybomb1493]

Awesome mini, it's a shame they're getting to be so rare in the US. Those image wheels look great by the way! Spendy but equally awesome!

[popcornkid76]

In the Uk its not so there becoming rare, its more rare for them to be seen in good condition, I want one for my first car, just hope i can find a good one :)

[robtminnican]

youll be able to find a good one but ull have to dig deep and save for abit ive been looking for one now coz ive passed my test and there all sky high prices

[digbycurrents]

Original Mini: The coolest car on planet Earth.

[CrackHamsters]

I WANT YOUR CAR

[andy891]

nice mini mate what wheels are they i want some like that for my mini :)

[akura2]

See above... :o)

3-piece Image Wheels from the UK

[bumblbeeee]

Has the old british plates I see!

Nice one!

[hl1996]

it's an autobot!!!!!!!! also that is a alsome roar for that alsome little car i thought i was looking at a dodge charger for a second. anyway the old mini cooper is way cooler then the new cooper. they messed up th mini coop now.... still the old one still rocks the house!!!

[drumtum]

Love that sound, fantastic.

[masterchief202]

mate im liking that

[Cyberdeamon]

Nice sounding Mini! was the exhaust already in the middle of the car or did you fit it to the middle?

Also has it got lumpy cam?

[akura2]

the exhaust was put in the middle by the previous owner, but it comes stock to one side...

and yes the cam is quite lumpy... LOL

[RosesForTheDead7]

sounds like mine.. mine has a rally cam so its very lumpy.. sounds mental, although a little loud as the manifold is blowing again..

love the sound of this one.. maybe get a few more vids.. be good to see more of it

[paulimms]

all down to emissions etc when the regulations came out.

[RancidMezz]

Nice Mini, sound's great.

In the UK it's highly illegal not to have a CAT on the exhuast. Is it not in the US?

[paulimms]

its only illegal in the uk if the cars newer than 1992. if its older than that then it doesnt need a cat

[RancidMezz]

okay.

why's that?

[akura2]

here in the 'States many older "classic" cars didn't have cats... so when they added the "law" that cars had to have them, they grandfathered in cars over a certain age... cars older that 1975 are allowed not to have cats and not to be smogged....

[tkmsteve331]

not if the car is older than 1992 i think mate

[wandomwillyg]

i had a dream about owning a mini last night, now i know i must have 1. wop wop woohooo baby! urs is a beauty. i got to a festival of transport every year and theres always a lil army of minis there. you should go.

[Smileyisgreat]

i love those rims, they are what all minis should have, the real classoc ones

[akura2]

Thanks.. I haven't read it/ gotten it yet but I'm looking forward to seeing the spread... I even took some of the pics in it

[famousstreetskater1]

where did you buy this car????

[akura2]

Here in the US... (California)

[xxnell69xx]

I love your Mini -I just read the feature in Mini World. Any idea where I can buy a buttkicker in the UK? I bet it sounds awesome!

[akura2]

It sounds/feels VERY impressive... like having 3 12-inch speakers in the car... without the rattle and w/o people hearing you from down the block....

[fileupdates]

aaaaaaah little dear of a car

[akura2]

Thank you

[lukethomas211]

how did you get that sound, what have you got from the engine

[akura2]

1275 bored to 1380... cams... custom header... straight through exhaust... twin SU carbs... the basics

[akura2]

I'm the 2009 president of MOALA so come on down!

[topgear1507]

how much bhp has a 1989 to 1995ish cooper s have?

[matley1664]

great sounding mini....really cool to see UK plates in the USA. Have you checked out minimark069's videos?...if not do it - truly awesome

[ejumakatedac]

I have my MK 3 on the way from England, but it still has the original 998. Love the sound of this one... I plan on spending time getting the body where it belongs, the suspension, the brakes, the electrical gremlins, then finally move on to a new engine. Mini Owners of America? How do I get information on that and possibly joining? Great mini...

[alpineb10]

Very nice car, loving the british plates!!

[akura2]

Thanks....

[Darjan1275]

Great car and great sound!!!

[denzzil91]

hi nice mini, just wondering what wheels you have and what the dimentions were?

[akura2]

We had just come back from a Transformers drive-in movie night... And part of the protocol was to do a theme with your car... It was temporary... LOL

[Aberrr]

Dude, a transformers logo?

[doubled85]

different, how fast are these things theres almost nothing to it. its so tiny, where are you from also.

[akura2]

I'm from Paramount, CA.. originally from New York.... actually mine's pretty quick... it's not that fast, but quick.... I can get from 0-60 pretty fast, but it's only a 4-speed, so it's not that fast overall... I still have to get it dyno'd.... I'm the new president of the Mini Owners of America, Los Angeles chapter for 2009 and I need to set up a local dyno day as my first decree in office...

[mevenson3]

Mini owners of America? I hope to join soon; 1962 mini on the way for me!

[mkysteel]

hi, what engine have you got and what exhaust system have you installed?

thanks

[akura2]

1275 bored out to 1380, and the exhaust is only a center twin exit stainless exhaust... and there is no Catalytic

[akura2]

never....

[stephenlandy]

angry? you mean shit?

[akura2]

there's always one ass... jealous much?

[stephenlandy]

there woth peanuts why would i be jealous, u get laughed at much?

[SummerTheFuzzy]

stop being a twat, the mini is an awesome car, first car especially, i get a lot of credit blasting into college every morning in a tasty mini SOOO get over yourself, they are coool cars

[dilloniosother]

wata beast

[dannyayo]

Lovely car.

Going to get myself one of these and restore it.

[akura2]

Thanks... they're a lot of fun

[tca118]

cool car bet that cost a lot to convert it to left hand drive i suppose its worth it after having ot over there for 13 years though

[veyronman]

The mini was sold as LHD in Europe, so the chances are it wasn't converted.

[veyronman]

nevermind, it has a UK plate on the back

still, it wouldn't have been difficult to convert.

[RosesForTheDead7]

hey dude. nice mini, iv just bought one, what wheels are they as im still stuck for what wheels to buy.

[Chriskoss]

They are superlites or minnilites. Google those 2 words mate, cheers

[akura2]

They are made by Image wheels in the UK

[sandfordmill]

im from the uk, image wheels are very good, if you didnt buy them and they came with the car you got a good deal

[dealer124]

wot exhaust is it?

[akura2]

It's basically the RC40 Millennium center exit... but instead of the twin DTM tips... it has the twin straight tips

[Danbotology]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[akura2]

Thanks... it's my favorite toy...

can't wait for mini meet west...

minimeetwest2008. com

[dealer124]

did u change the steerin rack wen u put 13s on? i no u can get away wif out doin it, but im thinkin more of how it will drive wif out it

[akura2]

The car had 13s on it when I bought it... so I'm not sure if the rack was changed... as far as I know... it wasn't

[Spekulanten]

Hi! What rims do you have? 6x13?

[akura2]

7x13 three-piece.... 3.5-inch lip in the rear.... 2.5 inch lip in the front (staggered fitment)

[Spekulanten]

Nice. Im thinking about getting some 7X13 deep dish, but im not sure if they'll fit. At the time i have some 6X13 revolutions. Nice car by the way!

[akura2]

Thanks... we don't have MOT over here so we don't have to worry about the "wheels sticking out of the fenders" law... I know they're strict about that over in the UK

[woodyking16]

my first car IS a mini!

[xjustintimex]

sick sounding cams

[lewisbarker1993]

wow dude nice mini,

im thinkin of getting one for my first car, is the insurance any good on em? also are there any websites where i can find tuning parts?

[willbleft]

Dude there's more parts available for minis than just about any other car known to man, try miniworld, minifinity, minispares, maniflow, z-cars, moorspeed, avonbar, vmax, look at stage tuning kits, engine conversions etc, if oyu are gonna get a mini, insure it with specailist mini insurance companies, any other company wont have a clue. good luck man, hope you get one!

[lewisbarker1993]

wow lol looks like i didnt do enough research i wont be gettin one just yet as they put the driving age up to 18 but i really want one lol

chhers for the help tho dude

[ngscboy]

my first car was a mini, i still have it but it needs work doin to it so it might one day look like that one ^^

but insurance for me when i was 17 was £1500(from adrian flux - maybe try somwhere else? i mighta...well probably was ripped off) for a year and it was only a 998cc :S

can't wait till its back on the road again!! :D!

[WHINElikeaTURBINE]

same here.... i want a mini real bad as well as my first car.... i just want the cheapest one possible but it has 2 be in good running condition 4 at least 3-4 years....after that hopefully il enough money to get started with mods....wud loooove 2 put a bike engine in it : )

ps: i passed my test yesterday : )

[lewisbarker1993]
