Meet Jet!

Yes another engine swapped beast.

He's a fully restored 1979 Austin Mini painted in old english white with anthracite grey roof and door circles. Has lots of weight saving fibre glass including the roof, front end with a removable bonnet, group 4 arches and perspex windows. MK1 rear light conversion, twin fillers, boot, front indicators, rear number plate and grill look absolutely amazing! Swiftune's famous mirror and bracket set, centre rear fog light and parcel shelf brake light all add to the race feel. Upgraded P700 headlights, Lucas reverse light and JBW OS4 6x10 Inch wheels with gun metal hi light wrapped in super sticky Yoko A032R 165/70 tyres finish the external off perfectly.

Internally the race theme continues with a fully welded Safety Devices cage and genuine Bride bucket seats with 4 point TTRS black harnesses. Lots of custom parts including the stunning and trick removable leather Prototipo steering wheel with all the controls in the centre! Full digital dash, custom carbon switch panel and the incredible carbon race car starting panel mounted on the roll cage above your head. The launch control button (yes you read that right) is also mounted on a custom carbon panel.  A roll cage mounted rear view race mirror with custom steering wheel hanging bracket and fire extinguisher are a lovely touch. Passenger foot rest and exposed gear linkage bracket all add to the race car feel. Alcantara door cards and dash are just perfect.

Under the bonnet sites a Vauxhall 1.8 twin cam Z18xe engine running a Danst bike carb conversion kit with motorsport electronics stand alone fully mappable ECU. This all results in a huge 165 BHP with 250 NM torque power output. Has a remote/bias floor mounted pedal box with twin brake master cylinders. Fully adjustable suspension, 7.9inch Minisport 4 pot callipers with groove & vented discs, Minifins to the rear that take care of all the stopping requirements. Completely custom wiring loom. Full race spec fuel system using braided hoses (all internal) 10 gallon twin fill aluminium baffled fuel tank and high pressure pump. Custom made exhaust finished him off and sounds wild!

All in all this is a next level Mini that of course absolutely flies!
