remember when Moog was building his Saab, he put aside the old intercooler from his 900, saying it'd be good for Marty's Mighty Boy. Marty has previously discussed how cool custom pickups are, and the Suzuki Mighty Boy is a custom pickup truck..... Presumably using the engine from the half-cut Kei car turbo from japan that they brought back years ago

Starting at 13:52, the speech gave me goosebumps. It was today that I got so pissed at my car for minor troubles, that I felt like leaving it alongside of the road with the key in the ignition, felling so poor and unable to do anything. I invested so much in it, it works, doesn't look good, still better then when I got it. Got it when my grandfather passed away. I swore to myself I'll never ever sell it, even if I starve. I live in a shite country where you can't maintain a 27 year old Golf II TD with an average paycheck, but I love it so much that I don't even care. I have my dreams about that car, and the hope that they will come true. Thanks MCM, made my day, made me feel better about it. Cheers

I found your story was enthralling from start to finish. What a stupendous achievement. Knocking down one problem after the other in a sensible way and good common-sense changes and adaptions each one. You rise above all the others who jury-rig and tinker about and do temporary fix or one inadequate poorly-engineered 'fix' after the other. No, you did none of this and excelled in dealing with each problem in a sound and sensible way. You were also not afraid to buy lots of kit items that were premade and pre-assembled and you brought them in where somebody else had dealt effectively with certain problems and provided a good solution. Well done guys. what an exciting video of a mammoth task you set yourselves.

Moog... You mention engine evolution... Sir Alec Issigonis never intended the Mini to have the cast iron A series engine. He had an all aluminium engine in mind; with multi-valve technology... Due to lack of funds, his plans were put on hold, but later developed into the K series engine, which ironically found its way in to a few production Hondas when they and Rover shared technology.

My brother in law had the exact car. Built by Super Mini's in Georgia. 220 plus HP Acura race engine. Switched steering to left side. Tubular subframe. You couldn't keep the tires under it. I made and fitted the shifter perfectly for him. The shifter was made from stainless steel and heat treated and the knob was aluminum. He was tall so I had to set it back. Super Mini's are now putting Acura V6s in the back of them. Sick.!!!

You are a lucky man owning a SUPER VTEC MINI and most importantly having great friends to help you out! Love your show, keep it up mate!

@Mighty Car Mods The Mini is fantastic and to add to your statement about keeping up with the times John Cooper took a standard Mini 850 and up rated it for racing so yes that is what you have done you have not destroyed it, also people in the UK have been sticking in a Mini 1750 engines out of Austin Maxi's or 1300 engines out of Austin Allegro's for years and then Rover K series units under the bonnet and as you know they come in turbo and non turbo the only thing to stop it in the UK Insurance companies.

kinda pointless in a mini, you hit something? roll it? you dead, even if you roll cage it? your still getting an engine through the cabin if you prang it.

@Oblithian 7 жыл бұрын

I don't know if I could live with a wheel position like that. Reminds me of driving a tractor ...or a delivery van ...or a Super B (which I guess is a giant, advanced tractor).

@aussiebloke609 7 жыл бұрын

You can get an extended bracket that lets it hang a little further below the dash rail...but if you're tall, then the steering wheel gets in the way of your knees. The photos don't show it well, but it is a VERY small car - only 10 foot long from bumper to bumper, and still fits 4 adults - so there's really not all that much spare room to play with. Not to worry, you get used to it really fast - and with the way they handle, you'll be too busy concentrating on the next corner to worry much. :-)

have you seen stock Honda radiators? they're tiny

@aussiebloke609 7 жыл бұрын

It's not real wide, but it is rather thick - I suspect that's how they're getting away with it. My worry was that with half the rad behind the headlight, it might not get the air flow they would prefer. See how it goes.

Damn this really made me smile. Seeing the joy in you two for Honda power. Amazing job guys. inspiraional .I remember that first time I turboed my d16a6 crx back in 2003 with a Porsche turbo, 98 Civic upper cat manifold, exhaust pipe for intercooler piping, oversized intercooler and a missing link with a apexi v-afc and rc injectors. Man what a feeling. Keep it up guys. Best channel on KZfaq period. Loads of content and information.
