It had to be an interesting thought process that led you to that solution. That's bad ass *and* unique.I was given this 08 mini cooper because the engine seized on the highway. I dragged it home to scrap until the wife seen it. I was in ..... well the good books.
Yes, it took a wild turn. Apparently its the exact "dream car" she always wanted.
Got a k24 engine from an acura tsx and made some mounts and slapped it in. Added a turbo for good measure. Aiming for 300hp but i have been told i could hit 400hp with this setup.
Have been playing with wires for awhile, but I have almost everything working except the tachometer.
Wife would only accept the car if it had a clutch so I got a 6sp limited slip trans from a 2012 civic si.View attachment 28853View attachment 28854
My GTI is about that size with 220 hp and it can be a handful on the street if I get aggressive with it.
