One of our local competitors has a classic mini with an 870bhp Audi 5 cylinder (I want to say RS3/TTRS engine) with quattro AWD. It’s basically a spaceframe with big front and rear wings, but technically a mini. It is spicy. Chris Slade Mini Quattro
I asked a Jdm importer about this 20+ years ago. He said there's no way it would fit in the front, due to the position of the transfer box, either putting the engine way to far out front, or the front wheels would be behind the A panels 😂😂😂 In the boot was the obvious choice
@@skippy2987 cardboard is way cheaper to form and fit, how do you think boats are made by hand. the auto cad machine sits in the corner broke, so the manual cardboard design must be implemented.
Binky was a three years in when I saw it and it inspired my project. 7 years later my project is basically done, driving it around for the last 4 years fine tuning. Binky still isn't done. Very very good but not done

Same layout as the Factor Five 818, one of my dream car builds 👍
Incredible build. Talented guy
This had some serious work done to make this happen. So awesome. 👍👍
What a great build! Analog dave gives this one a big thumbs up.

Awesome! Good work Chris!
just wow. what a lovely build . congratulations .
Absolutely love this mini. I turboed mine with a Haltech Nexus R3 but this Subaru setup is on an entirely different level.
Glad to see Connor getting much more comfortable with the interviews. Much more fluent to listen to.
Keep it up HPA. Still my favourite content.
Cheers mate! Just takes a bit of time but having Andre as a mentor helps too. I'll make sure Connor sees your comment 🤘 - Taz.
Totally mad! Well done.
That's bloody awesome
Really impressive build, looks great too.
Great build.
rear mounted boxer engine in a 2 door coupe? that's the porche we have at home!
Rear or Midengine? lol
Interviewing skills really improving here, but I really wish I could have seen that thing RUN!
Closest thing I’ve seen to my dream build. Really cool

Cad was used. Cardboard automotive design.
hahaha where would be be without cardboard eh! - Taz.
Cardboard helped me solve overheating on a couple of cars!
Also helps me trace lines I can't follow with jigsaws :p

Your build also sounds awesome to be fair! - Taz.
