This is my car on consignment. Great car - thought I'd make sure the Mini enthusiasts know about it, too.

Holly cow...what an awesome car. If I have the extra $ I would buy it in a heart beat. Is the VTEC engine is the original for that year.

 

I bought the car from the person who had it built with the Minitec kit powered by a late '90s Integra type R motor B18C (US market, not a JDM).

I've gotten as much as 45 MPG when just cruising around, mixed backroads and highway. Average around 35 mpg. Much has been spent to get this car 100% both from a safety (i.e. nicely installed 3rd brake light at top center of rear window) and mechanical standpoint, probably close to $30k including original purchase of the vehicle as a VTEC Mini.

 

Gene,

Do you mean it was built with Minitech kit by Mini or aftermarket built. What are the reason change to that engine, etc.

 

Dozuki01,

It was an aftermarket build, not by Mini. The pioneer of these builds I believe is www.superfastminis.com and there are different engine choices.

Some people choose the 1.6, others the 1.8 Type R motor, etc.

 

is it still for sale?

 

Yes, vehicle is still for sale.
