This is exactly the type of content I want to see more of. Brilliant!!! It's just fantastic to see people passionate about pushing the boundaries and bringing new tech to old cars. :)
Fabulous car, and what a nice bloke that owns it. I love that it’s discreet and he’s not showing off by covering it in wings, huge vents and painting it pearlescent orange
I bought one as my first car, it is still now the most fun car I've ever driven, it's like a go kart. But get ready to spend 3 times the money you think you will need to spend, it's a money pit. Still the best car I've ever owned
One of the best car designs ever with one of the best NA Honda Vtec engine”s, can’t fail really! Shows where we’re going wrong with certain ideas in the modern era too imo. Ideal B-road car for me and I’m taller than you. Great viewing PP.
Absolutely epic. Had an 850 mini 40 years ago souped with twin carbs and 215 tyres. Want want one again. Only thing is the wide tyres for a light car didn't have good grip on the wet, l spun off a few times, went back to 165 tyres for better grip. Look at Monte Carlo rally minis, all had narrow tyres for grip. Aside, congratulations on building this fantastic mini.
Pete Pete Pete, a mini is a mini not something you transplant everything other than a shell to cover the internals. While I applaud the engineering and application and the thrill of its ability, which is very impressive. The Project Binki Mini was enjoyable to watch by the Bad Obsession crew putting it together, yet to be finished though. All good. Cheers and thank you once again
Mad on a track, crazy on the road ! Absolutely insane in the wet !! The mini handles like a go-kart but is tricky at the limit. With the engine in the rear, I’m guessing it’ll be like a classic 911. Understeer, then massive oversteer. It’ll hang on until it doesn’t, then, because of the short wheelbase, come around very suddenly and quickly. Thrilling to be sure, but not for the average driver. Reminds me of the Giocattolo in the 80s. A mid-mounted 5ltr V8 in a front engined V6 Alfa Romeo Coupé. Sweet!
I had a Alfa 1750 GTV when I was in my 20s that handled like that. like you were on rails, but if you pushed it too far would let go the rear very quickly. Great car I wish I hadn't sold it they are worth a small fortune now.
LOVE the understated grey/black. Fantastic car ! I would love to see move videos of that thing ripping around, on a track. Congrats to the architect of that beast. Cheers !
Absolutely cool. I am a sucker for classic minis but this is on another level. Definitely considering getting one. Great channel. . .south out from South Africa
Oh wow 🤩 Your face was a picture. We’ve known Z Cars for a while and they produce incredible rear engined Classic Mini’s. This one certainly blew your doors off 😎
Absolutely brilliant. My first car was a mini and I thought that was great. This must be something else. I’d love to hear more about the build and engineering and the other cars in Daves collection.
Amazing classic Mini, you forget how small they really are, that must have been pretty scary driving around in the wet conditions . What an amazing car well done that man 😀😀
Great video! What a superb car. I love the way he’s kept it classic looking but made it into an animal. Even down to the modern grey paintwork. Look forward to seeing his next project 😀
Love it! That is so cool! Classic minis are such good platforms as they are from factory, and this one has just been taken to the next level! I want one :)
Brilliant video, shame it was wet, but the potential for that car's performance is massive. Killer sound and handling. I bet the smell of Adrenalin was huge.
Living in America, every older mechanic has a V8 car of some kind with a carburetor. I've seen a million old muscle cars, and trucks with a plain V8. They sound good, but they are all the same. I have never in my life seen a Mini like this in real person in the States, or if I have, it was maybe only once as a kid. The custom cars like this, which have custom engines, are so much cooler than any factory V8 car with a standard style engine. There's something so special about cramming the wrong engine into a car, and re-engineering the entire car to make it work. And the sound!? WOW. This thing is awesome. The sound is better than any 4 cylinder, and certainly better than the Subaru EJ25 version..
Great little midi i had one in they 60s i used to race at charterhall .I have raced alongside Jim Clark in the saloon car class charterhall. Was near where hi farm was also Andrew Cowan hoo did the London to Sidney rally.
Beautiful machine bud sounds epic 😈👌🏻, really enjoyed the video , being a big Honda enthusiast always nice to see the k series in different machines .. just about see the k series in most things now . Says a lot really. Cheers for the content mate .
my first petrol ped vid an the subscribe button has been pushed that mini is the next level of insanity . pocket rocket an the dude only lives 3 mile away your new BFF great video
Pete your look of shock had me laughing 😆. No one will resto mod a tesla in ten years but a mini thats another thing. Well done Pete fantastic content...
I previously owned an '06 Acura RSX type S with a modified I-VTEC 2.0L (230 HP) 6 spd with KPRO ECU and to think of that engine in a car that is 1/2 its weight would be SCAREY fast.... My complements to the builder and to its owner....
Bow down to the masters. Every factory Z car is an unequivocal embodiment of craftsmanship, commitment to excellence and boundless conversion imagination. Masters of the art. 🙏💯🙏💯
Slightly different path to this one but I think the future for electric power units in retro cars (and some new cars) is promising. Pricey to convert right now, but as supply improves and experience, we should see a wave of sleeper cars from a bygone era detroying some modern stuff.
@Mark Brown oh don't get me wrong, I'm with you, I'm struggling to buy a new car because they are all so dull; usual 4 pot 2 litres etc, but as a concept I can see it being popular
That looks just stupendous! I used to have an S2000 & so know what an amazing engine the V-Tec is, I’ve always wondered what one would be like in a classic Mini. Also, have always been interested in how a RWD Mini would perform. We need to set up a side by side comparison in the dry next summer Peter! :-)
Many moons ago, I owned a Civic VTi-S (only 500 were imported to the UK) which was equipped with a LSD from the factory and it's that car that learnt me how to drive a FWD properly due to the steering feel. Unfortunately, a diesel VW Passat bloody T-Boned me and wrote it off.
Damn, what a find for your channel! That's SICK. I'm mostly Corvette builds on my channel now, but I have a massive Honda background and import build side. This is an incredible machine to put together...man, that's awesome.
Love the vtec. Revs like a b...ard. I had a new fn2 and it would red line at 160mph. No clutch needed, just bounced the limiter for quicker gear change. Mental in a mini. Poss a supercharger to 380bhp would be suicidal.
You know it's fun when a middle aged man laughs like a teenage girl 🤣
@Conor Mcdonald oh don’t be such a fuddy duddy kill joy🤪
is that what you get out of this? go to the barbie channel!!!

Bomb shell💨
This is going to hopefully be my first car and it’s a beautiful car to be honest.
This one, maybe?
I have always wanted one.
The whine of the engine, The Crackle and Pop of the Exhaust. Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

Cheers 👍
The modern era is dictated to by a few things- safety standards, and cost sharing.
For real. Newer cars are super heavy, big, low rev, turboed unreliable garbage. It's not hard to make a good car like this.
This is an epic car. Little or not. The aesthetics meet the beast performance to create a not so tiny monster. Great content, great car.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Absolutely Brilliant! I love projects like this that give new life to old classics.
Love how Mini's make 13" Wheels look massive!

What a fantastic mini, never ceases to amaze me the engineering ability of people to marry all the parts together. Great video again, thank you 😁
My pleasure Jim 👍
yes certainly is one of the coolest classic mini's, wicked, thanks Dave and Pete
Glad you enjoyed it mate. The reason I do TH-cam 👍
the engine sounds amazing. that thing seems properly fast. The owner's collection is straight up my alley 😄
That engine sure sounds mean!, lovely job.

I love classic minis since I was a child and my father had one... Just the looks, even without the silly engine. Love it.
👍
Thanks love the Mini and performance and feedback must be amazing, also love the paint choice looks really cool with the arches and wide tyres
Great job of a classic, the wife and I are now on our third mini and love them.
Cars cars aren’t they 👍
Fabulous car and a wonderful noise, what they have done to this car is absolutely outstanding. Cant wait to see the other cars of Daves.
Mad on a track, crazy on the road !
Absolutely insane in the wet !!
The mini handles like a go-kart but is tricky at the limit.
With the engine in the rear, I’m guessing it’ll be like a classic 911.

I can’t wait either 😬😂
LOVE the understated grey/black. Fantastic car ! I would love to see move videos of that thing ripping around, on a track. Congrats to the architect of that beast. Cheers !
Classic, with a twist! Can't wait to watch this.
before the typeR engine swap, before the typeR was ever a prototype the ultimate engine swap believe it or not was the MG Metro turbo.
Watched it again , amazed how it’s stays on the road , brilliant piece of work from Zcars . Every petrol head should have one 👍
👍

Wow weeeeee!! That's Dat sound right thurr boy!! The sound of variable valve timing and life electronic control, aka VTEC.
Watched it ten times now !!!!! Get the million views
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another great car combo of classic and amazing performance, love the variety of cars you share with us.
Thanks Dave. That’s the plan 👍
What an absolute pocket rocket. This mini is a work of art. 👍
Absolutely brilliant. My first car was a mini and I thought that was great. This must be something else.
I’d love to hear more about the build and engineering and the other cars in Daves collection.
I hope to actually go to ZCars and do a film there 👍
The most beautiful machine I have ever seen. I would love to own that
Drove one with 260bhp about 7 years ago always great work from zcars stunning car.
They sure are 👍
It is so beautiful aesthetically and in the engineering sense
Garbage car ground clearance is zero car
...and it still has that raspy, rowdy, see-ya-later suckers, classic Mini sound...love it, love it, love it!!!
Amazing classic Mini, you forget how small they really are, that must have been pretty scary driving around in the wet conditions .
What an amazing car well done that man 😀😀
It was very scary 😂
It's crazy!!
Mini body with powerfull engine, unbelieveble!!
so fast....!
I like this car!!
Nice dude...
Thumbs up from Autotune Indonesia dude...
Cheers 👍
Am speechless dude, it's bloody awesome.
Got a grin from one side to the other man, that’s fantastic car love it
Thanks Simon 👍

I want one too 😂
It's absolutely amazing. So beautiful and powerful tiny car. I love it so so much.
Can't beat that, keep it up! That's the way cars should be done, big engines midget chassis. For good! Bests mates! No replacement for displacement!
Brilliant video, shame it was wet, but the potential for that car's performance is massive. Killer sound and handling. I bet the smell of Adrenalin was huge.
Oh yes 😂
That’s just incredible. Me and the wife just realised we need a classic so thanks for this. Awesome vid mate.
I want one too now 😂
Evening all. Looking forward to this. Love old minis 👋
Hi Ben 🙋♂️
Love seeing classic cars like this getting a reboot and topped off with wicked performance 💯
Had to come back to this after today's Fiabusa vid!

Pretty much 😂

Many nice things about the car. The color and styling is great!! Engine is a whole mother level.
Amazing. I still have a couple of Mk1 Minis. I want one of those.
Wooooooow its coolest car ‼️ I like that colour scheme too 💯‼️
Many years ago at a Dutch car meeting, I've seen a classic mini Cooper with a custom build v8 in it, no joke.

@Mark Brown
I agree but it’s interesting that GM is introducing the Chevrolet Performance eCrate system soon and it won’t stop with just the one.
i think some of the magic would be lost if you couldnt hear that high revving vtec engine behind you, electric would feel very muted.
@Mark Brown better this than the cars being lost forever through non-servicable parts
