  • interesting VTEC conversion

    This may make most anyone puke, but you have to admire doing the VTEC conversion as a mid-engine. It could have been a lot more tastefully done.

    How Mark Heller's 1974 Austin Mini was built with an Acura Integra Type-R 1.8L VTEC engine

    Looks like some sort of SUV collided with a Mini. The underdash A/C unit should be a joy for the passenger to run their knees into.
    If you were going to all the work to do a mid-engine conversion why not go with 10 - 13 inch max wheel size with a wide tyre to put the power to the ground.

        I definitely admired the engineering.

        Then I puked.

        It's only my opinion, but I can never understand why someone would want a car that looks like a buckboard out of a Gabby Hayes movie.

            Agree about the wheels... Good god builder, have you no taste...? That's a Mini, not an Evo VII.

            Also, what is it about people building these kind of things having no taste and being colorblind? An orange exterior combined with bright blue slashes + a blue interior? Someone needs to go back to good taste school asap.

            End of Mini (sic) rant.. ;-)
