When Classic Roots Revive a VTEC Build

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is a series that explores the stories behind the car. Find out more about the people behind the build, what drives them, and what's next.
Felix's lifelong journey with classic cars has without a doubt influenced this build. Many folks have stuffed the Honda B18 VTEC engine into this chassis, but Felix's seasoned taste and eye for detail set this car apart. Do what moves you. Enjoy.

    Crazy cool. As a owner of a 1973 Mini 1001 it drives me nuts when other classic owners look down at other classics for not be original or shitting on the new BMW MINI. Drive and build what you love!

    William J Sisti i gladly shit on the bmw mini, because it's a cynical, exploitative marketing excercise designed purely to make money for greedy shareholders, and has *nothing* to do with the spirit of the original car. alec issigonis would die again if he could see it. otherwise i'm with you all the way.

    I am a Mini guy all the way. The BMW MINI's are actually cool to me, because they're still small sporty cars (by modern standards) and plus, the new countryman is AWD and can be ordered with a 6MT. All of the Mini's can have a MT which is crazy. Now, trying to find a classic mini with only 2 grand in the US is impossible.
