vtec in austin minis
my dad owns a o.g. mini he got from germany when he was in the service years back and was always into them. he and my brother who lives in atlanta came across this place that puts b series motors in them. they took a ride over there one day and talked with the owner and took a ride in one.. they said it was hands down the most insane car they were ever in. my brother races shifter karts and it said it was scary fast. 1st through 3rd gears are usless. from what he said hes got like 200+ hp from a b18c in a 1700lb. car 
. with a sub 5sec. 0 to 60 in a tin can car with that much hp. im sure it is nuts. the car pulls some insane #'s on the skidpad too. anyways we are going to be building one soon since my brother decied to ditch the porsche road race project and pick this up 
my dads old mini is going to be revived into a monster. take a look at their site.
