Congrats, its an awesome looking car and refreshingly unique!

2 words.. wow, what a beast very nice XD wouldnt have added bodykit but probaly best body kit ive seen on a mini! (its different) how much did that huge BOX full of kit cost you if you? cheers

[danny1]

wow that is one very tasty car.

how much did that set you back if you dont mind me asking?

and i really do liek were you put your clocks its def different.

could you possibly take a pic of you sitting it it so we coudl get a feel of how it looks from the inside with having teh clocks were they are please?

[PhotoguyUSA]

Thanks guys......

I've never sat down and actually added it all up but I'd imagine it's in the $40,000 range total. The big box alone was around $15,000 at todays rate it would have been $8000

I will take some picts with a driver here soon and post them for you.

Luckily enough the kit cost me materials only $300. The actual sculpting was done by Ben Abutin a custom wide body kit designer here in the states and a personal friend.

Got to the Dyno yesterday

Working on the video now.........

The turbo is so efficient and the exhaust is so short, boost control was problematic. But by adding an additional wastegate to the system it should work. We were hitting 18.4 psi at 7100 RPM at 60% throttle. So the limits of the stock block were increasingly starting to rise. So we stopped the tuning at 60% throttle. However its no short of FREAKING SCARY 406BHP 300TQ on 91 octane pump gas!

YipEEEEEEEEE!

The car was tuned by Shawn Church and Daniel of Church Automotive Testing. they are masters when it comes to tuning and using the Hondata engine management system that I use. They have tuned 1000's of cars and think that we should easily see 460-500Hp with the additional wastegate.
