VTEC POWERED CLASSIC MINI COOPER
24.5k ONO[/align][/align]Extended sheet metal so car opens and closes like stock.[/align]B18c5 with LSD tranny
Complete adjustable suspension all around[/align]Big Brake kit with alloy calipers[/align]No rips or tears on the interior[/align]Paints shines like new[/align]Tilton pedals with with Wilwood racing MCs[/align]LHD[/align]Short shifter with JDM **** [/align]Car runs and stops like no other[/align]1.8L B18C5 VTEC,OBD1 management system, stock ITR intake, bulkhead has NOT been cut or modified, DC header with free flow exhaust, was dynoed at 168 hp at the wheels last summer. The motor has stock ITR vtec cams and adjustable AEM gears. With a modified cam and higher comp pistons a 65hp gain would be achieved, butit would be insane to have thatkind of power with a small light car like this. VTEC starts at 5500rpm and tops out at 8000rpm
Transmission is hydraulic from alate 90sacura ITR with stock clutch which drives better than the Stage II it used to have. You don't get that "on-off" feel in normal street driving.
Brakes and wheels:large ventilated rotordiscs up front with Minitec's alloy calipers and street pads.Stock drums in the rear. Minilight superlight wheelswith color matched centers, Blue and Red double springs in front and hi-los at the rear.GAZ gas adjustable shocks on all 4 wheels.
Interior:Cloth blackseats from aMazda Miatawith rear matching cover and Newton Commercial matching door cards.Aluminum SportsPackdash.Autometer phantom white face2 gauge pod with 3 aux gauges. am/fm/cd player radio, 2 speakers on rear shelf and 1 amplifier in the boot.
Exterior: body kitted withbuilt-in grillfront driving lights. Car was painted inCorvette Yellow with Jet Blackroof and bonnet stripes, underside is completely rust free. The bonnet opens and closes like a stock mini. Pictures show the car with 13" wheels.
This is a very very unique car, fully legal for registration transfer to any state including California. Most conversions have been done using extended noses and B series 1.6 or 1.8 engines because it's easier and everything is readily availalble. This caris extended a littleless than 4 inchesand has the B18C5 1.8L VTEC most people talk about, but can't afford. This car runs extremely well and will cruise effortlessly at 80 to 90 mph all day. It has aFluidynealuminum radiator with a 1600 cfm electric fan and it does not run hot, i have driven it intraffic during rush hourat near 100 degrees air temp and even after a couple hours it does not get above normal temp. if you live in the area and wish to see the car and drive it please call, i am not open to trades or silly offers. i know full well that this isa very specialVTEC mini in north america and also one of the very few with a B18c5. If you are looking for a car that is the "Ultimate Sleeper!" call or email. thx
