Loving this build thread. Good work!

Big thank you to John for making our ideas come to life. Wish I was down in Maryland helping him!
He's got an ace up his sleeve for the engine bay as well. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Nicely put Speakers, with all the research and reading build threads an asking people who have these swaps done, I know I made the right decision for what I want this car to be, It will be my daily for 3/4 of the seasons, to be 100% streetable and to be able to really drive her will be amazing!
If I was building a track car or 1/4 mile car I would've went a different route. And like John says, if I need more (should say when), these little motors love boost ;)

 

Hey, beautiful build man... I started lurking on Johns page, and WOW he does some nice work... now to find his twin on this side of the country. 

Question - maybe you already answered but any reason you chose the d15 over d16? I'm storing info for my future build and would like to know...

[mini-fvr]

Not sure where you read d-15.....
But this is pretty much the setup ...
d16 with SI bottom, zc pistons and head, rocket cam, 3.7 final drive, mfactory LSD, obx throttle bodies, hondata,

 My bad... must have seen the comment from the other member and though you went with a d15... Will be awaiting updates eagerly!

[mini-fvr]

Hoping to get some updates soon! I know the Itbs and headers have been cut/welded for Fitment,will get those pics up ASAP.

New mirrors

by the way for the people that are following, Those are not the banded wheels. Should be able to have some more wiggle room when John gets those sorted ;).

Absolutely love this build. The mirrors suit it so well. Can you actually see anything out of them?

[Vinay-RS]

I love your mini! That stance is perfect :)

[mini-fvr]

Thanks guys.
Mirrors look great but haven't got a chance to see their function.

The stance will be even better once the new banded wheels are powder coated and ready to roll. :).
Really can't wait till she's back home.

John at MCM is doing an incrediblely awesome job! Wish I lived closer so I could put some wrench time in! 4 hours one way. .
This is the first time I haven't been the main builder on one of my own cars. Just no time with the busy work/kid/family schedule.
