There's around 75,000 mini's in the UK. Only 25,000 licenced. That means up to 50,000 are up for grabs 😉 I shouldn't say this, all mini's need to stay in the UK 😭 We have plenty of those nasty BMW minis too. Take them please! 🤣
Yes the brake and clutch masters work but the stock mini clutch master is .75” bore and the Honda is 5/8” so if you use the stock one it will be very stiff and a short throw. We recommend either adapting a factory Honda clutch master cylinder or when using a single line brake master there is room for a MGF clutch master to be used, it directly bolts on and is a 5/8” bore.
@Stevestonmotorco how is the weight of the subframe compared to others on the market (e.g. McGee)? Love the two piece design for ease of install and maintenance.
They are 80lbs each (which includes the skidplate), and with the lighter Honda engine, they come out to be about the same as a mini set up, which retains handling characteristics around town.
@@StevestonmotorcoWhere do the higher costs come from compared to the MCM kit? The price is a little higher and i am deciding to order yours or the mcm kit as i want to retain stock suspension
Yes, we have one mk1 subframe in production that has not been officially spoken for yet, and we have access to a bunch of mk1 donor subframes for special orders too. Send us an email if you're interested!
You say mini MPI fuel pump is not adequate. I have mini mpi pump WFX100810 which is rated to 121 psi max. I have B18c engine fuel pump which is rated at 48-55 psi, so why would I need to change it?
We have bench tested a few and the flow rate is different between the two. Perhaps the pressure is the same, but volume is higher with the pumps we have tested. I’m sure it would only be a possible issue at full duty cycle but still it’s good practise to have a new pump and have it matched to the Honda, especially if using a stock ecu
but you have the engines built by Crafted Classics Tuning LTD, are you not capable of rebuilding such a simple engine? I saw a post some time ago where you were tagged with a classic engine for SMCO

Nice!
I kinda have this playing in the background, then I look up and am like "HOLY CRAP, the car's white now!" HA.
Will mini pedal and master cylinders work on d16? Any features?

What’s the steering rack? Original or Honda too?
What gauges was the car at the beginning running?

Perfect! Can you tell the time of delivery? Need one to germany :))))

Do you have a version for a Mk1 Mini - with the earlier style of subframe mounts?
Yes, we have one mk1 subframe in production that has not been officially spoken for yet, and we have access to a bunch of mk1 donor subframes for special orders too.
Send us an email if you're interested!
Whats the colour code of that orange Mini in the intro? looks sick
Thanks! It's a Nissan orange
It’s so bad ass, I want to covert my mini but the budget is somewhere between 10 and 100K, right? 😂
has anyone done this to a Aussie moke?

Any make of pump that meets the required delivery parameters is suitable.

I had to sell my mini recently which I owned for over 20 years 😢
