This Custom Mid-Engine Mini Revs to 13,000 RPM! | Outrunning Sanity

[@RoadsUntraveled]

In case you missed it, we were LIVE here on KZbin yesterday! Thanks to everyone who came to talk cars with us. We'll probably do another livestream next week and make it a pretty regular thing going forward. Enjoy the video!!

To get reverse you can use an ordinary car starter moter with a chain and sprockets on the rear axle, run it straight off the battery and an on,off switch on the dash.

WANT WANT WANT. Been waiting years to see someone do a proper review of a motorbike engined mini

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Haha yeah it was pretty insane. Adam always seems to have something crazy in the works :-P

[@bakirhminuty3286]

www.zcars.org.uk/hayabusa/ They’ve been doing stuff like this and more for many years.

[@limitlessbuilds]

And this is exactly why I’m putting a turbo hayabusa engine into my Willys Jeep hotrod 😉

[@markrobinson8575]

No

[@limitlessbuilds]

Mark Robinson what do you mean no? 😂

[@limitlessbuilds]

Patrick Bateman much harder to find though. And I am stopping at 400hp as even that would be sketchy for the weight of the car. Plus a lot more aftermarket support for the hayabusa engine

[@limitlessbuilds]

Patrick Bateman the hp is pretty close to what most compact cars have, the torque is lower though. But you really don’t need to go 300kph either so when it’s geared down you have a monster!

[@GabrielZ.]

That will be awesome man

[@andresr6103]

That car looks so fun to drive, and it's also gorgeous, I'm in love.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Haha yup, Adam did a fantastic job on this build. Can't wait to see what he does next!

[@andresr6103]

@@RoadsUntraveled wasn't expecting a reply from you, greetings from Colombia, I'm glad you recovered the channel from those pathetic scammers.

[@VS666]

I'll admit I wasnt keen on this channel but after this video I'm sold!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

:D

[@alxzndr]

Finally a detailed video on this mini!! Been seeing it all over Instagram 🤘

[@RoadsUntraveled]

👍

[@kemaruokamoto7657]

Sir where the factory to build this mini so very cool n simple I love so much this build system can you introduce yours factory 👍

[@Bulletguy07]

You need to drive a road with plenty of bends and corners as that where the REAL fun is with a Mini......even with a bog standard engine.

[@RedVine6]

That is one wild Mini that's for sure, VERY happy you got the channel back! Keep up the great work Marcus!

[@RedVine6]

I wonder how hard it is to do maintenance on that engine though. I feel like an oil change wouldn't be so easy.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thank you!!

[@danielreigada1542]

That is awesome. You remark how hot the interior is . . . probably would not be so great here during Phoenix AZ summers.

[@rowanwild343]

This thing is killer!!! Props to the builder and thanks for the video 😊

[@radityobagus1302]

So it runs sequential gearbox? It kinda looked like one, and that noise ... Damn, music to my ears...

[@nicwilson89]

It'll be using the ninja transmission I'd imagine (haven't finished the video yet), and bike transmissions are all sequential, yea. That's why he was pushing it backwards, they don't have reverse

[@patrickarchibald6787]

Bikes have a sequential gearbox, and most motorcycle engine are all one unit, the gearbox clutch, and cylinders are built in one unit.

[@streetmtb]

@@patrickarchibald6787 almost all in 1, you can still strip gears in a motorcycle and replace gears. More annoying why don't they use auto blipers so you can shift up and down without a clutch

[@streetmtb]

@Wladpad so can I but it's not as much fun

[@pashakdescilly7517]

@@streetmtb some bikes do - recent BMWs are programmed from the factory, and an auto shift is a simple kit

[@peteryang92]

Shout out to the microphone. Crazy how it wasn’t drowned out by the high revs

[@philvictor5537]

Sounds perfect. But I’m now curious to what it would do with a turbo.

[@quinnboy3296]

It would hit boost and wheelspin alot lmao

[@tonykulikovsky]

Do you really need a turbo in that

[@PaceWorks]

Love how he kept the boot tho 🤙🏼👍🏻

[@kaushikkalita7310]

THERE IS NO DOUBT, MOTORCYCLE ENGINES ARE LIKE FACTORY MADE RACE ENGINES

[@jeanquadvandamage9211]

Coolest thing I've seen this week. Curious that a ZX-10R engine was chosen over a ZX-14R engine. Guessing the engine was previously tuned for MR12, which is why it was so rich. Any thought to using a paddle shifter with a quickshifter? Nice job. Any performance metrics recorded?

[@calvinwongmedia]

saw this at cars & coffee steveston! looks even better in person.

[@JaredR1996]

That’s a great sounding Mini 👀

[@SuperHbkforever]

Lmao I know this guy. He's located on Mitchell island. Has a bunch of sweet cars

[@trustfire]

Fuel cell in the front sounds nice and safe :0

[@thatdudeinorange2297]

If you know anything about mini's you'll know its as safe as it was from the factory.. fitted one inch from the bootlid at factory...

[@zebbybermingham3270]

like car people ever gave a fuck about safety

[@antonyaiken]

and exactly where are porsche tanks fitted again?

[@trustfire]

@@antonyaiken behind a firewall in the front.

[@raychambers3646]

Better than having the engine in your lap in an accident trust me on that.

[@fairizzeero5269]

Glad u got your channel back.

This is wicked, love this

[@tomwalter8536]

Brilliant, what an eye opener for what’s possible

[@Whateva67]

As soon as the video started I knew you had to be here in British Columbia then I saw the plates😎

[@Xerdoz]

Why the hell nobody ever uses quickshifters in these builds?

[@gaberon1]

Sick car! Great video 👍

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thank you, stay tuned for some more crazy builds!

Ah nice too see you got the channel back.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Thanks! :D

[@aMoodyCanadian]

@@RoadsUntraveled What happened??

[@streetmtb]

@@aMoodyCanadian that's a story and a half, to cut it short someone took over and made a Elon musk video that was live streamed for 9 hours. The video basically said you donated 1 bit coin we will give you 5 back, it was a very clever scam.

[@vintygti]

0:04. You know its gonna be loud when the driver is wearing ear plugs!!!

[@jeffyu8854]

I love the sound of it too.

[@jewannadiim8751]

Is it hard for the mechanic and wiring ?

[@gafrers]

Fantastic. I love Pocket Beasts like this

[@soundboydesign1373]

Canada here..."yes!"... one love

[@neilfairless4589]

I would have edited out the stall at the video intro.

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

Not to mention the multiple failed attempts at rev matching his down shifts :P Just made himself look a right Plonka...

[@wileecoyote5749]

Those VTEC ones are crazy too

[@RoadsUntraveled]

We will have one of those featured on the channel in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

[@-Just_Justin-]

Absolutely stunning ride. Just right in every aspect

[@VeliRajasaar]

MiNi, in this case, meaning Mid-engined Ninja :P

[@eddieMurphy11111]

i missed it sorry but i used to have a blmc mini with a tuned cooper s engine in to and boy did that go i would love to know how many miles per hour it will go

[@KB-Riderwithabeard]

I saw a little bit of the livestream and thoroughly enjoyed it! Seeing 3 people who are into cars talk turkey was amazing. But I can't find the video anymore, is it deleted? I'm very curious for the new car Marcus, 1 of the only hosts in car loving KZbin who actually drives a RHD Japanese car! OT: Fantastic car this is... So happy you guys are back!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

We don't plan on keeping livestreams up much longer than 12-24 hours and even then they'll be kept unlisted so only if you scroll in your subscription feed will you find it. That first one was just a test run but in the future we'll be sure to schedule them at least 24 hours ahead of time so you can be notified when we go live!! :D Cheers man, thanks for the support.

[@KB-Riderwithabeard]

@@RoadsUntraveled yea it was pure luck I even saw it but I clicked and honestly never looked back. I did watch the first 10 mins after it was finished but wanted to see it all again the next day. Too bad but I understand. And no problems; you're 1 of my favourite channels, always on top of the list (maybe because of my KZbin searches?). Anyways keep on doing the good stuff!

[@downshift83]

ouch that transmission pop tho O_O

[@MBLegend89]

Is there a way to fit a busa engine to a normal car gear box so can rev low and have revers gear must suck if you want to go backwards lol

[@stevepettifer4896]

Just because that looks a bit too non-stock, have a little look at the Project Binky series by Bad Obsession Motorsport. Toyota Celica GT4 engine and running gear into a mini. For funsies. You wouldn't believe it to look at it from the outside (and it's not quite finished yet) but sooooo much of it has been custom fabricated by them. Ultimate sleeper! Would be awesome to see a back to back with this when it's done. Shame the Atlantic seems to be in the way :(

[@jojojeep1]

My neighbor just built a twin turbo K 24 Honda in a old mini Cooper from 1969 900 horse to the wheels all four wheels

[@deerpeter1]

Sweet "Mini", now do a review of one with a proper tuned A-series! 👊

[@D4VE26]

Where is the dash from? Is it a 'bogus' one from minisport? And what are the seats?

Hi what arches are on your mini

[@GarethHarris-h4i]

[@patrickarchibald6787]

No mention was made of the motorcycle the engine is from, or the capacity of the engine. I'm a bit of a Kawasaki nut, the instrument cluster looks like it came out of a Z1000, but they make more like 130 HP.

OLD CHILDREN, love it.

Those are intakes concern me.. thinking out loud. If you want some ram effect.. and highly debatable at those speeds.. you need scoops.. not those things. I'm even concerned those things may be hindering due to Venturi effect.

Where and what is the name of that long straight road at the beginning of the video? I see it in so many videos is it in Canada?

[@RoadsUntraveled]

We never tell haha. But considering we're Canadian and the borders are closed.. yes, I'd say it's safe to assume it's in Canada ;)

[@sandygarage3802]

Looks like great fun. Outstandingly good built mini👍❤. There are many engine options to consider for the mini, but I like motor bike engine's in mini's (the sound, rev's, & shifter). A H2R engine would be mental in a mini.

[@Gearbhall]

This has been a dream build of mine. The supercharged H2R engine would have the torque to really move the extra weight of a car without being so stressed.

I need to see a build like this but with awd
