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.

Pretty sure the Potenza alloy wheels are of German origin from the 90:ies But probably copied many times since then..
Hey, I’m 13 years old and I’m rebuilding a mini Classic from ‘77 with a 1275 cc enigine. I love you’re mini 😍😍

That's dope.
"It's as light as a roll of toilet paper." I love it.
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.

I have both classic and new mini's and I love them both so much fun 👌
I love those fender flares and fitment, so clean. 11/10 - Mastapiece
Mini shape Honda power. Perfection. I'd rock that bad boy all day long.

I've thought about the idea of a modern "classic" mini; same body, but modern engine, brakes, wheels, performance etc. I'd be so happy with a car like that.

Jeff Fisher dude, me too
Highly individual mini, infectiously enthusiastic guy and a well edited film. Superb chaps. Well done.
G'day from West Australia for 38yrs trade life building car's I have always told my customers, It's your build I Am just the guy building it properly for you. Using your vision, screw what anyone thinks of it it's your car enjoy it.
He remembers the 60s & 70s? Dang he sure has aged well
As a Honda guy and a car person in general I'm just in love with this. I've always loved the money and wanted to do something like this.
tidy looking mini, i love how you have it on 10" rims too, the best and only size for a classic mini
It's stories like these that moves car people...awesome! Keep 'm coming!

Thanks for the kind words!
I love the amount of thought and care that went into taking this to a new level
That mini is just heavenly! And I totally dig the VTEC! It brings a new life to the car
This is a rad little mini... and so much work that many people (including me) wouldn’t realise until you hear all the stories. Super cool.
Love these 'Behind the wheel' videos! Keep them coming guys.

BlueBadgerMini the production quality really is fantastically good
Love the car and a great story as well. If I ever get up to Vancouver I’m looking this guy up for coffee and car talk. Seems like a really good / funny guy.
Love what you’ve done with that mini and the edit on this video. Keep it up guys!! 👌🏻
Bravo! Well done. I really enjoyed the video as well as the zeal in your build.
I can relate. My first car was a 1978 mini clubman when they were £100. Enjoyable watch. A very well thought out and executed video. Kudos.
that cafe racer look is eye candy, its a wonderful mini
Watching your video has convinced me to buy and build the sort of mini I'd want. Love what you've done to yours .. stunning!
Very nest. And live the statement about building a car that you love and moves you. Minis are one of my favourite cars and thus one is neat. The fender flares and window visors are right on.
Super awesome mini! Good work, man!
Immediately liked the video when I reached 1:30...awesome intro...build what makes you happy
This was such an awesome video, really brought me into your world of loving minis. I subscribed to your channel and hope to see more like this one!
what an insane build, love the red interior with the white paint. Looks insane
I liked video before even start watching because I know its gonna be awesome as always! You guys rocks! 💪🏻 Keep up with great work!

You have built my dream! This ride is so choice🤙🤙
Yes Sir! Good sound and good looks
Love to go out for a spin in that beast. Nice job man 👍
This video and a few others seriously make me want a b18 mini... Beautiful car.
Felix, great video! I like the Mini and one of my next cars is likely to be a V-tech mini. I am like you I love building a car that gives me pleasure that is fast, cool and reliable. Great job!
A very nice car, I love it. Congratulations
Wow, what a great story!

you can put a rover V8 in a mini, yes in the front! Vtec conversion has been very popular since well before MCM. Was a great project from them though.
One of the best you guys have done. Especially the intro with the old footage. Well done.

Sweet ride, nice work.
Unstoppable little machine 🔥🔥
Nice piece of kit. Prefer original but would rather see an old mini on the road even if modified than original in a tip. So well done.
This looks great!
That was a joy to watch
Beautiful video
Just what midday Wednesday needed.
Love your mini.
Jealousy & respect.... Nice. Great video guys Thanks

It's sooo beautiful!
I love that you're not an uppity purist. This car is 100% in the spirit of John Cooper, who took the Mini from humble people's car to race winner in the '60s. I guess in that way, John Cooper himself is not a Mini purist :)
Great video! Love the final edit. Super interesting dialogue. Comment on hood pins was awesome! Had a great laugh on the MAGA comment.
Very nice! Not just a regular mini but a mini designed specifically for you 😊

They are very personalizable cars
I love anything with a Honda engine swap, especially when it's mated to a lightweight car.
I´m absolutely in love. This is the most beautiful car i´ve ever seen. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Very, very, very, very good job here. If i´m ever getting rich, this is what my car should look like :D
Thanks for the video!
Wow, a super cool car.
One of my dream cars
Great story man

When he said Richmond I was like no way, makes me really missed the beautiful BC...great choice to shot the video at river rd by the way
I love JDM I love minis. We on the same page fella, I love it
I love this build so much. My wife loves her r56 and our si. It’s only a matter of time before she’s like “let’s k24 swap the mini”
GREAT CONTENT
Superb!!
Love the proper classic British intro!
Outstanding
