@Hoonigan Autofocus I am embarrassed for us honda guys every where , NO REV LIMITER , every honda engine you ever come across has to hit limiter for you any time you want, once its warm ofcorse, no camry starts here But if its a honda ya better honda that limiter boy 🤣💯
Larry you've got to cover Bad Obsession Motorsport's project Binky if ever you get a chance when in the UK, that's a mini that the world needs to see!!
Yeah, man! I'm from Winnipeg in Canada, biggest Philippino community in Canada per Capita. Many good guys I know through work have that awesome accent 🤙
I had one too many drinks out one night, and this cute Filipino "girl" ended up having a dope feature I wasn't prepared for in their pants, I was pretty peeved after I finished.
I love this kind of build, small car with a "reasonable amount" of power. Also wilwood brakes and aesthetically it's not overly modified. It's perfect.
VQ35s DE and DD are the newest rice in socal over the last 5 years, they're all stock (engine/drivetrain) with shitty exhausts, beat up, and auto. Hardly any of them are HR or have a good exhaust. Usually only the VQ37HRs are modified
@@kindbud shit yea its true abunch of ricer kids haveing been makeing rice burners outta vq powered cars,,,but vq's have been out for along time I've been into vq's for bought 13 years they're great engines if built and tuned right and pretty dam quick,their in alot of nissan and infinity cars and suv's
We love that he uses it as a daily driver! The k20 is an incredible power plant, it is a “monster” due to torque steer when maintaining front wheel drive, put it in the rear and its power delivery is much easier to drive fast.
Here in Indonesia, even a wrecked Mini is so damn expensive. Not to mention the K-Swap and that cool whole front-end pop up. Thanks for the video, Larry! Shout out to the owner.
Larry Chen, incredible feature, well thought out and put together car, and props for being the only one at Hoonigan that can build a car and not have Scotto give it away 👌
Larry: "Why does it pull to the left?" On this episode of Autofocus, Larry discovers torque steer edit: I wanted to add that I used to own a 2006 Kia Rio which had 110hp, manual, and 175 tires. I could easily spin tires in first and get tire chirp power shifting into second (yes I abused that car severely). I can't imagine 175s with 200hp, absolute insanity.
Something always confuses me when Hoonigan look at cars- they don't skip a beat over the idea of importing weird parts from Japan, but when they look at British cars its always "where do you get parts from?!?". You guys know we speak English in England, right? Its got to be the easiest place besides canada/aus/nz for an american to buy stuff from!
@@heyoitssky1191 Don't gotta explain it to me, I have a '62 Meteor I want to build into a 60s Nascar/SCCA/TransAm clone. Doing things right always costs more, but at least you don't have to go back and redo it. Biggest thing with the WRX swap would be forward mounting a radiator and possible intercooler, unless you mount them above the engine and closed off the rear half of the Type 3 with a firewall
@@perotekku yeah I plan on doing it right the first time it may take me 10 years to do it but it’ll be done right and as for the intercooler and radiator I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do but I’ll cross that road when I get there
to those who were weirded out with the horn sound - it is his homage to the Philippine Jeepney. Jeepneys are public transportations here at home that are mostly tricked out (stanced, straight pipes, loud sounds, etc.) and the horn sound is one of usual modifications you would find in the Jeepney.
Due to the minis popularity in export markets there was actually more left hand drive minis produced in total than right hand drive ones! ‘It actually feels pretty big’ ‘it feels like it’s gonna be pretty big because look how long this stick is’ PHRASING LANA.
I think I remember those cars being featured in Car and Driver. Must have been a B16 swap, not a K20. I do remember Minitec needs to lengthen the shell by a fair bit to fit the Honda swap, which none of the commenters seem to recognize. That disqualifies this build in the eyes of Nik and Richard. Wasn’t it episode 1? “If it’s not 100 inches, it’s not a Mini.”
I highly doubt a Filipino would wanna put the Japanese Imperial battle flag on their car after what the Japanese did to them during their occupation of the Philippines in WW2!

"Why does it pull to the left?" LOL... Larry experiencing torque steer for the first time
LMAO thought the same thing. Haha
Needs a better LSD! mine was uncontrollable before I changed mine
Woooooww
Larry you've got to cover Bad Obsession Motorsport's project Binky if ever you get a chance when in the UK, that's a mini that the world needs to see!!
Providing they ever finish it lol
It's a bracket, not a mini!
not ready for at least another 10 years,its close but not quite there yet.....awesome build but WAIT
This Mini even has a checkered roof, just like Binky... Coincidence? I think not... 😁
@@frankgile1996 A lot of minis had checkered roofs neither where the first that is for sure.
Shout out mighty car mods
Yeah they used a minitec subframe too, honda swaps are very popular here in the UK. Ive got a B18 in my mini :)
Larry: This car has way too much power for the tyres.
Builder "Thank you."
good response
EPIC
Lmao I came down to the comments when he said that
lol i was just about to comment this lol
@@fastberry1162 I read the comment right as Larry said it in the video. Spooky
Uh oh... That hood flip up is so sweet, I feel like this just extended the build time on Binky another 5 years!
Looks like saab 900 hood hinges
yep. looks like binky may have some unexpected delays lol
You know it’s gonna be a dope feature build when you hear a Filipino accent.
Pillipino accent 👌🏽
Yeah, man!
I'm from Winnipeg in Canada, biggest Philippino community in Canada per Capita.
Many good guys I know through work have that awesome accent 🤙
Yeah yeah
I had one too many drinks out one night, and this cute Filipino "girl" ended up having a dope feature I wasn't prepared for in their pants, I was pretty peeved after I finished.

Respect to the builder of this thing
filipinos have the cleanest taste in modifying cars
@@chickerino1869 love from PH🇵🇭👌🏽
The builder lives in Ohio. Lol
@@brianbowersox peep under the hood 🇵🇭
@@JonahQuintanilla, I know the previous owner... The guy who did the build..
“oh I can drive? Pull over here” lol
Made the vid so much better
I'm half way through the vid before I noticed the steering wheel is on the correct side lmao
Gotta love the sorta dude to have a immaculate thought out build and Larry says "Seems so well built" and his reply is "So far"
Agreed! This level of humbleness is rare
“It has WAY to much power for these tires!”
“Thank you” 😎
"10:35 WAY too much power for these tiny wheels" "thank you" 🤣 I love this man!!!
This is like the Honda b-series swapped Mini from Mighty Car Mods, it's sick!
Yeah! accept this is k...
I love this kind of build, small car with a "reasonable amount" of power. Also wilwood brakes and aesthetically it's not overly modified. It's perfect.
Probably one of the best swaps I've seen.
i can't count how many times a random VQ has passed by you revving while you're filming
They want the smoke. Lol.
👀😒 _Smoke 'em..._ 😎
Vq35 is were it's at for nissan boys...love the vq engine,,,honda k20 is an incredible engine too.

Bro this is one of my dream builds 💯🤯💣 I bet it's fast af too, power to weight ratio
What an amazing car! We had a couple of Minis and this brings back some great memories.
I love that it isn't loud
We love that he uses it as a daily driver! The k20 is an incredible power plant, it is a “monster” due to torque steer when maintaining front wheel drive, put it in the rear and its power delivery is much easier to drive fast.
Just crazy how cool that Mini is...and extremely immaculate!
Beautiful build! My 1970 Mini had a Vauxhall/Opel XE 2.0 with 250bhp running on 6x10 Minilites with 165/70 Yokohamas. It was a real handful!!
Here in Indonesia, even a wrecked Mini is so damn expensive. Not to mention the K-Swap and that cool whole front-end pop up. Thanks for the video, Larry! Shout out to the owner.
That's how you know dude is confident in the car, "you wanna drive it?"
Dude this is my exact dream car
I don't really know how I get in here, but I can tell you for sure I absolutely not regret it ! Damn this mini is lit !
Larry Chen, incredible feature, well thought out and put together car, and props for being the only one at Hoonigan that can build a car and not have Scotto give it away 👌
Absolutely love your content youre a great interviewer
Great video, absolutely stunning Mini!
She's a beauty! And I'm a fan of those flares. Sweet lines, and shapes. ❤
This car was built for me by MiniTec in Georgia. The current owner has made a few subtle changes but I have the receipts for the build.
Hi Jason I hope you’re well - a year later I know. If you’d be so kind as to let me know what gearbox is being used?
More ppl should do this with all compacts ( LS Swap 1/2 Scale )
That's the thing i keep in mind when see old VW Golf barely having 100HP, sometimes even less than 70
Hahaha the horns are freakin hilarious. Love his own taste on it.
Pulling the left - insane torque steer!
this will have to satiate my binky addiction for now! well done!
Enough power to be either fun as hell or scare the shit out of you. It is a really incredible build.
Larry: "Why does it pull to the left?"
On this episode of Autofocus, Larry discovers torque steer

My 06 G6 GTP was 240 from a 3.9 and 6-speed. Shed chirp with ease and that had 225’s.
@@TheGinger15765 pfft that isn't impessive.
over 200hp with the mods
@@mackcummy4976 Don't worry, I've since bought a LS1 T56 GTO over the summer. Course, no torque steer issues thereee
Duuuuuude my mom used to have a 2006 Kia Rio but it was auto...that car was fun to drive and literally handled like a go kart
Everytime this guy posts a car swap vid. I am like "sho me dawae".
This is making me miss my old '97 Cooper.
they were still making them in 97?
@@palmermonsen9098 Yep all the way to October 2000 when the last one rolled off the production line.
@@DynamicEvolved crazy, I never knew that
That laughing horn is the cherry on top.
K Minis are so good 🤤
Such a great swap and build, clean, straight forward, and just fun.
digging the yellow headlight
good work keeping the conversation going... guys a material robot

Keep your R32 Skyline...I’ll take one of these 😃
Met VJ in a meet very cool guy, sick build!
Respect from England, it’s a cool little mini.
I realize there are packaging restrictions, but why would you put the air filter right behind the radiator? Hot air intake...
This thing is sick inspires me to work on my vw type 3 square back
You better, those are getting rare, such cool cars
@@perotekku I wanna do something like this just a really clean resto mod suspension, cage and a wrx engine stuff just isn’t cheap

Best car owner when hear him laugh when someone else thrashes it hahaha
*VTEC Intensifies*
haha VTEC kicks in massive left pull, mad credit to builder
Amazing video like always, but I didn’t hear one crack of vtec! “Keep up the good work!”
Due to the minis popularity in export markets there was actually more left hand drive minis produced in total than right hand drive ones!
‘It actually feels pretty big’ ‘it feels like it’s gonna be pretty big because look how long this stick is’ PHRASING LANA.
Why does it pull to the left? Lol surprisingly it can be driven in a straight line
You should try the Minis with the motor swapped in the back, too
Moogs mighty car mods mini has a b16b motor in it now which only just barely fit. Is a K series block bigger than a B series? I would guess it is
Good Lord that is AWESOME!!!
it will be a monster at most hillclimbs
A year later I know. What gearbox is being used?
This is the real deal. I love it.
Larry you keep saying about not being able to put the power down.
Convince him to make it AWD 🥰🥰🥰
nice job Chen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like the mini!!
So he made the A class Forza Build Mini. Even has wide body.
Moog from Mighty Car Mods would have killed for a hood like that hahaha
His accent reminded me of the jo koy special. Lol. Philippinos ftw.
i love classic mini's. someday.. someday..
I LOVE them too, along with sleeper cars, great when they surprises everbody and pulls away.
@@larsstougaard7097 for sure. but still needs to be driveable tho.
@@alienfac32 ha ha true, maybe this mini had a little too much power for wheel size, but still cool.
That horn is next level lollll
there is one wrecked i one to buy and make it in my shop just hope its not sold
I like how he trust you to drive it and let you find out it pulls to the left when you step on it🤪😂
so how fast is it Larry? faster than the R100??
Seen a swap like this back in like 2006 ish range. Massachusetts builder and owner.
I think I remember those cars being featured in Car and Driver. Must have been a B16 swap, not a K20.
I do remember Minitec needs to lengthen the shell by a fair bit to fit the Honda swap, which none of the commenters seem to recognize. That disqualifies this build in the eyes of Nik and Richard. Wasn’t it episode 1? “If it’s not 100 inches, it’s not a Mini.”
Light car big motor moves 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌
Is there an address to the shop who did this swap?
d16vtec is good enough to daily in a mini. fits better than a kseries or bseries and can use factory transmission and factory wiring
proud to see this beast. from ph
The horn was badass 😂
Saw one of these in the uk at good wood with a mid engine v8
What a beast looks amazing 👍😁
This has way too much power for this car..."Thank you" lol a true tuner
KABAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! that is a sick mod!!!
larry asking if its a 5 speed ....then shifts it into 5 before he can respond lmao
I bet this thing is a low 12 - high 11s.. Very fast for swapped k20 motor.
That's a nice K20 Mini
I need me cooper Honda swap bro that looks so good holy fuck
Are y’all posting photos of this car?
This would be a dope conversion for a Honda N600 or Z Coupe
honda engines are the best
is there any chance of an NSX to be in your video?
it would be soooooooooo cool
Was hoping there would be a Japanese bursting sun on the roof instead just for fun lol
I highly doubt a Filipino would wanna put the Japanese Imperial battle flag on their car after what the Japanese did to them during their occupation of the Philippines in WW2!
Mighty Car Mods have a B series swapped JDM Mini they did a lifetime ago, great build series if anyone is interested 🤘🏻
The coolest uncle boy
She’s pretty. The 2tone headlights don’t do it for me, but that’s minor :)
A specter air filter holy crap do they still make those?
Yeah autozone carries them
Nice one vanjoy👍👍
Automatic for the wife
K20 mini for the daily. Sick!
that mexican laughing horn is so damn hilarious!
