@b3astieboi2 FWD was good enough for the Mini to capture 4 victories at the Rallye Monte Carlo. That should be sufficient for me. I do like the ZCar mid-engine/RWD conversions but I will drive this on the street quite a bit and don't want an engine in the cabin with me.

can you please tell me more about the exhaust used here? No muffler? 2" or 2.5" pipe? Stainless steel?

Love that sound!

The exhaust is 2" diameter throughout. The muffler is a standard Mini high performance part by Maniflow. Exhaust can be routed through the muffler or bypass it completely via a QTP valve. I had the entire system ceramic coated. More information here:

@googlepaidtoomuch I could see how driving in a box with a r1 engine would get annoying. I figured that it was more of a toy and toys are more fun with rwd!! cool car!
