Good
Rich you are the man 🤣🤣 seriously you do good work!!
What was your rationale for fabricating that coupler instead of using the clutch/pressure plate/flywheel assembly?
I wish I had a neighbour like you...

I thought it was Riches new brand of Black Ice controllers.
Couldn't deal

Rich have you had any experience with Lucid motors?
"Normally eight inches look good on paper, but in reality you want nine inches..." Oh man, I almost died! 💀😅
Dude is too much lol
Has anyone else noticed that he doesn’t have any shoelaces on? No just me...cool. Dope project.
Well now that you mention it lol
Yea. I usually wear mine on my head
I was looking at her Fifi. 😆😆😆
Rich was shilling those Vessi shoes a few months back. What the heck, only about 120 bux so I ordered a pair. Turns out they are sized to fit the feet of skinny Instagram influencers like Leenda. Almost impossible to put on with any lace tension, but squishy laces through tiny cloth eyelets are a pain to adjust. Feel and look good after the 20 minutes it takes to put them on though.

So random

I did like the pause, it was a great bit of editing.
Alot more thought and planning has gone into this project than what is presented here. For example notice how he just fast talked right over the center alignment of the new motor on his adapter plate.
Everything may look like it's thrown together on a whim but don't let the safety sandals fool you he knows exactly what he's doing. Anyways a great watch as usual thanks Rich!
Yeah, I was thinking "oh, hell no that's not going to work." And APPARENTLY he did get it centered. (We don't see the coupling on the inside.)
I guess he learned from the Rat Rod experience. That was the one where the coupling wasn't coaxial, wasn't it?
@@Markle2k Except he has no clutch or anyway to disconnect the motor and input shaft. Bye bye transmission gears trying to street drive a manual transmission car with no flywheel or pressure plate to disconnect the motor and trans.
@@stevenplaskett7728 no need he can program a short power cut to the motor when he wants to shift just like quick shifter on a motorcycle.
To shift you just need to unload the transmission (No torque) either using clutch or turning off the motor for a milisecond or whatever time you take to shift a gear.
@@stevenplaskett7728 You don't change gears while driving. You select the appropriate gearing for the DC motor. The gearbox is simply a complete transaxle for getting the motor to drive the wheels.
Nobody: ”watch for the mini cooper build”
Everybody: ”Watching for the best Leenda Lucie angles”

Uncle Rich supplying a fresh batch of simp bait. Bless up 🙌
Simp bait or not she made this instantly more watchable lol
love it or hate it, it gives interaction and that ups his rankings on youtube.

I hope Leenda puts down her phone and becomes a regular on the channel. It would be such a win if she's genuinely interested in builds!
no just wants attention.
For what it is worth, I have 2 mini coopers (both are gen 2) with nearly 500,00 miles between them and have had no major issues. From what I have seen though, it seems that those who drive their minis/BMWs gently or just have automatics, will have problems. If you go with the getreg manual transmission and drive it hard (stay in the power band), but use high quality fluids/filters (Liqui-Moly oil, BMW coolant, genuine Purflux filters) they last a long time. Last time I did a tune up at 300,000 miles, I ran a borescope down the cylinders and you can still see the factory honing marks. Everything looks brand new. And that is on the 13 year old 2007 Base Mini that I take on rallies.
Pretty much the only part that hasnt lasted long is the vinyl on the driver seat. I seem to get about 130k miles out of a driver seat before the vinyl gets hard/cracked. Might be better if I went for the leather seats instead of the stock vinyl (leatherette) sport seats.
All that being said, I am strongly not a fan of the gen 3 (2014+) Minis. The engines are smooth and plenty powerful, but everything else is stupid. They are heavy, gimicky, illogical, uncomfortable, not very reliable, and expensive AF to fix.
Rich I don’t think this is what Leenda meant when she said “custom videos”
This son of a gun is too smooth with the sponsor integrations. Watching Rich's videos feels like getting rick rolled each time the ad starts.
there was an ad?

She's a "Keeper". She's hot and she plays her part well.
The Mini?
And she has an amazing 🍑
How disrespectful!
If anyone wants leendas insta: @leendalucia
play her part!?! U cannot be serious
Bro. Make sure align that motor to the transmission. Lovejoy had the specs for the tolerances. I think that's a 8J hard to tell and the specs might be .0013 I use to have them memorized. If you don't do a really good alignment your going to burn the motor up much quicker than expected. Just my 2cents.
technically he could use a LIDAR scanner found on the latest iPads / iPhone12... bring the data into CAD and compare it with so measurements, since he had the backingplate machined anyways... NO WAY you could get that centre-piece aligned within that tolerance by hand :O (by hand I mean not machining it)
He probably took both the motor and the gearbox into the machine shop, and they threw the cardboard stencil in the trash ;)
@@g60force maybe I didn't explain properly. You have to align the motor coupler to the transmission coupler. You absolutely can it's done everyday all over the world in manufacturing. Pumps are driven by dc/ac motors and must be aligned properly to insure proper operation. There are laser kits that are very expensive but you do it by hand. There are shims that you buy and put under each corner of the motor pads.
@@iforce2d machine shops should be able to flatten the motor or transmission mounts but the alignment is extremely important
That hand drawn template was junk. You need to measure the centers of all holes from the center of the shaft. Machinists don't care how big you draw a circle; they just need to know where the center is and the size of each hole.
Dude! This is totally a great, beginner, DIY electric car build. Because of the availability of mini’s and DC motors, is what makes this such a great build series for you. Great job on the content because this has inspired me to build my own.
How do you plan on shifting gears going down the road, without a clutch? Does the DC motor have an internal brake? Just curious.
He must be planning to just drive in one of the gears all the time... I can't see how shifting is possible unless the cars wheels are not moving...
Shifting isn't actually needed, depending on how much battery power he's using he can probably just start in 3rd gear and leave it there. Even if, for some reason, he does need need to shift, he can hit neutral then move the shifter to the next gear with a slight pressure and it'll fall into place when the syncros line up...basically in the same way that it's possible to drive your standard car without using your clutch after you start moving.
@@Dubweiser49 Cool, what about reverse and like, stopping?
@@pete1973x Reverse you don't shift into unless you're completely stopped, so no issue there. As far as stopping itself, if you're not applying throttle to an electric motor, it will stop spinning as soon as the wheels stop turning (unlike a gas motor that's always running), so you don't need to disengage the motor from the transmission.
I Don’t know anything about this stuff, but if I was to guess I would say that using that controller he got, that cost as much as the whole budget, he will be able to put the motor into some type of free spinning mode and then add force at a rate similar to a clutch, wild guess.
Leena is not a problem. nice to see a brother using his skill and entrepreneur spirit in these divisive times.
Be much better if we got rid of libs and dems that are the true cause of the division.
"community gas" might be Rich's finest moment ever.
I feel like an r53 mini is the perfect car to EV swap for short town trips and stuff
Maybe he should do a project build for that

Please do a video where you take the garbage man out on a dirt track with the hummer. That would make his year!
My mini R53 has 210K miles and still going... i paid 3k for it. Kinda want to turn into electric now.
I see you using Leenda to distract from your garage safe sandals and professional welds. Well planned.
Love the progress: great to see what goes on at the other shops helping to move forward with the project!
Not gonna lie the main reason I clicked so first was because Leenda was in the thumbnail.

I have a 2010 Mini Cooper base model, and I really enjoy my car.
That powdered coat blue SURE is ELECTRIFYING!!!
Damn. These builds on a budget, which actually get finished. What is it, wheeler dealers?
Thank you for the free content, sir
Rich gets an Apprentice! Now he can pass off all the dirty work. While he kicks back and relax making bad jokes
the "dirty work" 😏😏
I am really liking how this new project is coming together. Can't wait for the next one...with Leena of course
Just found this channel by random suguestions and i'm loving it man cant wait to see this eco beast up and running keep up the good work
Dude you’re freaking amazing!! I have a 67 VW bettle. If you’re looking for another project we could put a Tesla motor in it. 😎 Speak it into existence.
Rich will never learn not to spoil good sources for parts for himself.
Thanks for hiring Leenda rich, nice to have some eye candy
Rich is so cheap he can't get himself decent gloves. 🤣🤣🤣
Or shoe laces xD
The word is "frugal.
He’s like Alex Choi with his creased Airforce 1s 😂🤣
I really want to like this comment but then I'd be ruining the 69 likes it currently has...
I dunno. Since the start of the global virus situation (a.d. 2020), I've been unable to find my favorite 9 mil nitrile gloves at Harbor Freight.
2 years of driving a plug in hybrid I’ve found using regen braking is less efficient than not using it, allowing the car to use its momentum while easing off the accelerator is more efficient than the braking action of regen and then the re applying of the accelerator after the regen deceleration
And what they don’t tell you is that if it’s very cold 🥶 or the battery 🔋 is already full then you get zero regen action
Nice to see a decent video from Rich showing progress, and focusing mainly on the subject at hand with (nearly) no bitching about negative comments and spiralling off for half the video with dodgy recorder covers and "edgy" humour. I kinda like this guy in this video.
Recently had my 09 mini S die after suffering the infamous “Death rattle”, was told it was done for and I was super bummed since it’s what I learned to drive in and I’d really hate to see it waste away. Your project is really giving me the motivation to learn and hopefully one day bring it back to life. Keep it up! Can’t wait to see how this turns out :)
Lee is a genius. Love it.
Hey quick question, what colleges do you recommend for automotive engineering?im just a random 14 year old who just loved cars ever since and never lets them go
The internet, or the library. You’ll find all you need there. We certainly did.
Any college with a good mechanical engineering program can get you into a career in automotive engineering. I went to UC Berkeley and had a few friends go off to Tesla, Ford, and GM.
@@MartinThmpsn thanks
You can learn a lot of basic mechanical (and social) skills at your age already, just try to land and inter job at a local car shop. Ask around if someone knows somebody, or literally walk into places and ask. With that in your pocket you can go after a degree.
You start with MIT and then go into pre med for 4 years and decide that you don't want to do that anymore and then after you drop out of pre-law because you failed the bar exam you go down to your nearest tire shop and work there for 3 years while you're stacking tools along the way and learning what you can... and after that you'll find everything else that you need to know on youtube or a quick forum search.
RRs award for best cinematography during a Leenda scene goes to 5:32
My wife and I had a 2004 Mini Cooper S. We bought it brand new.
We got rid of it at 289k miles. We had almost no problems with it until about 260k miles other than normal stuff. We didn't even have to replace the original clutch until 150k miles.
the car was amazing.
you must be one of the 6..
Best thumbnail ever!
I subbed to her of
😂 I didn’t even notice till I read this
She & Lorde almost lookalike along with Emelia Hartford 😂
I've said it before, I feel like Rich would be a fun person to be friends with... good sense of humor... works on fun projects etc
Leenda starts cracking up before the camera man has arrived at the funny part of "Never before has a generation documented themselves doing so little, so often." I'm guessing this was the second take, or maybe the umpteenth take.
She just always giggles when I talk for some reason.
23:55 That salt tho. Gold.

This was a good episode! Now I just ordered you and Linda a Focus Electric!!! Let's put the other motor in that!
Who needs college when you got this man and many others like him helping us poor people out with gem knowledge!! I LOVE YOU MAN KEEP THEM COMING!!
Leenda is actually the daughter that Rich always wanted, but never had 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She is not her daughter .. though she calls him daddy sometimes 😂😂😂
Sweet home Alabama
@@Tiger1x1 She call me daddy, I don't even know her mama ~
She gonna do it for some Gucci & Gabanna - Blueface Baby 😂😂
who is she?
Holy crap that was great episode! Was always busting my brain how to connect the electric motor to the gear box so smoothly. I like your show and how you explain everything.
On another note.. I don't mind Lena(I believe her name is). Would actually be cool to see her knowledge increase as the episodes pass.. I think it would be great inspiration to anyone who enjoy these kind of content.
I had a 2004 S in Electric Blue..I thought this was it! As far as reliability goes, it never gave me any problems until around 200k. First thing to go was one of the Xenon headlamps which was around $700 to replace. Then it was the interior door releases. I mean, why did the Germans have to go and screw up something as basic as getting out of the damned car?!? When the car started overheating for unknown reasons (actually, it was explained in this vid) I knew it was time to let it go. I loved that car, but it wasn't what I'd call an 'heirloom piece'.
Oh yeah, you've got a new sub. Can't wait to see this thing scoot. Good idea keeping the Getrag transmission as it's the one thing that's relatively bulletproof.
12:39 I agree. Anything after 50K miles are 💩. My mini literally started falling apart. Turbo seals, gas leaks, then ac. Ugh infuriating.
Getting that assistant was perhaps your best move ever. Good game pal. Checkmate for simps.
This guy makes everything looks so easy 💪💪
You might want to watch the e-quad videos again...just sayin'. Lol!
But yeah, $3500 for an e-mini? It looks do-able. Be interesting to see how much fun he thinks his classic mini is after the finishes the electric one.
The new Mini Cooper, the perfect mascot for contemporary Britain - nostalgia lashed together with chicken wire. 🙁
There were Victorians that had the same complaint. This is a truly cursed island
Thank you for the first 20 seconds, hook, line and sinker. More please.
The budget ain‘t the only things that’s tight here...
Love how rich got a new ASSistant, wonder how big wife feels about. I guess she may not care as he's now just following the click bait formula. Maybe ED can get Nikki for his videos
Well it's better than a lot of other content where the click bait is never even in the video. I'd say his click bait to content ratio is pretty good!
I’d say his titles aren’t clickbait, they are legit titles.
If the wife objects because of insecurity issues then well, that's no bueno anyway.
Is this how it is? Bunch of guys who just follow what their wife/girlfriend says and thinks? All Pussy whooped and scared?

Looking forward to seeing the battery/range specs... I've always loved the idea of an electric 'project binky' but I feel like you might struggle to keep up with them... if they ever finish.
I'm looking forward to see the 0 - 60 time.
I noticed BOM scavenged Binky's electronic dash for the CCC race car. Seeing's how it's probably 5 years old now, they can get a newer, better one for Binky.
Leenda is clever, I didn't know any of those things, well except for the motor. Great vids as usual, very educational
RICH you need to Produce this stuff as a KIT !!!!! You could make SOME bank !!!!!
Are you considering motor mounts for the electric motor besides the clutch mount? I have no idea how much that thing weighs, but it looks like it has at least 20 kg. Combined with the leverage it will vibrate like your phone after uploading when you drive over cobblestone. There is a time and place for rubber dampeners, I'd love to see a cheap alternative made from old sandals or something ;D
This project is quite cool. The engine on my VW Polo seems to be on the way out, I might attempt to do such a cheap conversion with the car as well :)
Looks like there's already a rubber damping mount on the transmission, so all you need to do is have another mount (or a crossbar with a set of mounts) that connect to the top. With some luck, you can scavenge the original engine mounts and just make a solid bar that goes between them.

I can't believe that you could cut a part from that rough sketch on the cardboard. What else did you really use?
He didn't. Look at that outline, it's actually a different shape from the gearbox housing. That whole scene was done AFTER the backing plate was already made.
If you looked closely there's also a spacer plate that goes on the motor before the adapter plate, and the bolt holes in the adapter plate are recessed.
In other words, the Mini is a TH-camr's dream car:. neverending content.

Once you make the transformation from gas to electric how do you go about registering with the state?
And/or passing State inspection (if you have them there).
I guess it's like Australia. Register it then modify it and keep the car for life and never transfer it lol
No emissions so it automatically passes that test and registration just says the car hasn't been stolen and you get the registration when you buy the car
I also wonder this - I'm sure it's different in every state, but I'd love to see an outline of what that "could" look like IRL
@@macberry4048 I just meant that I wonder how they would classify the vehicle for testing and would it qualify as an EV or are you stuck with the VIN rating?
