I think those seats match the equinox model of the mini. Great build, as always.

Yep, my old equinox had that sun logo interior

@williamharvey9752 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah thats an Equinox edition mini, they came in grey, silver and purple. I own the purple (Amaranth) variant and have the same interior. There was only 750 of this edition ever made.

Definitely an Equinox interior. Same as my mini back in London.

One day I will be able to afford a Honda swap. Maybe I can even afford to have SMCO do it for me.

Cracking looking build 👌🏼 and like others have said it’s an Equinox interior (at least the door cards anyway). Almost got one a few years back…

That's super cool. I personally love the idea of no gauges except for the single fuel level indicator light for that specific setup. I would love to see what something like this feels like driving, looks like a total blast. Keep up the awesome work!

How is it legal to not have a speedometer?

Years ago a friend of mine bought a 1.5 d series off me that I’d swapped a z6 vtec head onto He put that in a mini ! Was a blast

Think I would be very nervous seeing a cop car with no speedo in the car. Apart from that it's a really cool mini

Looks like a Mini Equinox. They came in 3 colours Armaranth, Charcoal Grey and Platinum Silver

Is the BMW shifter mod something that can be done easily, or does it take some machining work? Something you might do a video on?

I love the SSR FLII wheels, I snagged the only set I have seen come up in Aus and have nearly finished rennovating them. I am putting a carbed 4AGE engine in mine which like this one isn't the biggest powerplant but will definitely be fast enough!

Looks just like my 90 Mini. I have the dashboard/ cardboard wrapped in Vinyl.

Was thinking, “So you don’t need to know how fast you’re going ?”…..but realised even if you’re speeding, the police will be too busy admiring you to think of chasing you down for a ticket. “Aw..!..leddim go !..leddim Go-o..!”

No ,no, no gauges are to important to negate. The rest of the car is great. Everything up on the dash flies out. Every Mini driver knows that. Not gaining much space. But it is his car, let him eat cake and enjoy his stress free dash. Cool car

@johnjenniferohalloran7334 2 жыл бұрын

You are so right: my RHD 96 Sprite has the shelf dash and only a speedometer and fuel gauge - when that’s all you’ve got behind the steering wheel, you spend more time “ looking out”!

I like the idea of no gauges but I would definitely collect more tickets that way...🤣 Is it a D15B motor in it?

@SmallBlogV8 2 жыл бұрын

The lack of gauges is novel, but not having a clue how fast you're going might become an issue at some point...

@all-four-inches 2 жыл бұрын

Does anyone know what these type of wheel/tyres combo is called? Where you have a big tyre to actual wheel ratio? deep dished kinda with a 'phat' tyre look.

@BrianSmart1959 2 жыл бұрын

Nothing at all wrong with a base model D-series. 100-ish HP in a Mini is plenty enough to have a blast with. I've had my D16Z6 in my Elf since 2009, and to be completely honest, I couldn't swear for certain that I've ever even had the VTEC kick in. I do think I would at least pop a 90 MPH speedo in there though, and maybe a gas gauge.

@andrewread154 2 жыл бұрын

You have to have a speedo, surely, for regulation?

@andrewread154 2 жыл бұрын

OK. So my question is…wrt wheel diameter and diff ratio, is there a taller diff ratio that gets used in these conversions? I am converting an Australian Morris 1500 in a similar manner, but want to retain the original 12” diameter wheels, but I think the Honda had 14” rims, normally. Can you get a taller crownwheel and pinion to match the change in wheel diameter?

@signmasters99 Жыл бұрын

Nice build, guys! However, I hate the idea of no gauges - I always want to know the status of the motor

Maybe Canada is different than here in Australia but how is that road legal and registered without having a speedometer?

@nickshootsminis 2 жыл бұрын

Don't you have some sort of road-worthiness test (like UK's MOT) in Canada that would fail this car due to lack of speedo? This would be a speeding ticket waiting to happen in my hands 🤣
