hey all, just thought i would show you guys a couple of pics of what has to be South Africa's fastest front wheel drive mini!!

Its a Toyota 1600cc 4AGE turbo'ed and nitrous fed clubman!!!its fully shaved, deseamed and chopped too!!a real monster!!!unfortunately i couldn't get power figures on the car but dam its awesome!!!

such incredible use of space - the engine bay is so neat!!!it utilises water to air charge cooling rather than an front mounted intercooler so it saves alot of space!














so what you guys think of what SA has to offer???

Hey dude! Haven't seen you on here for ages!

That mini does look hot I'll have to admit!! It probably goes like the clappers too!!

[Bevan]

looks very unique, and bet its rapid too.

[panelbeaterpeter]

That's pretty sweet! the rubbers look too big on the rear quarter windows though.

Dave (mighty_mini) isnt going to need any porn tongiht, mini with jap engine? dang!

Love the way youve used standard arches and incorperated them into the body kit. Now most people on here know i cant stand body kits, but that looks really tiday, and i do like this one, love the wheels too. Only things i dont like, personal choise, is the roof chop (cant see the point and cant stand them) and the removal of the gutter, just looks too roundey if you know what i mean.

But yeah, mint.

that lump fit's in there very well

hey man yeah i have been quiet, just reading and learning, too lazy to post

thanks for the comment!!

well here in SA the 4AGE motor is hugely popular with tuners - over 350kw and 500nm is easily attainable turbo only!!!

yeah i also think that roof chops are a bit stupid and don't like the whole smooth look personally on a clubby, but when i saw this at our local motor show, it blew me away!!wish it were mine!

we also have a few guys who are starting there own Z-cars type operation, so there are a couple hayabusa engined minis here too but here if you bust an engine its 35000 Rand to get a new one...about 2500 pounds

so we catching up slowly, as you can see only thing hampering us South Africans is rand-pound exchange rate...

[Elfie]

It hardly looks like a mini...
Never mind eh, each to their own

[asteroth]

That clubby belongs to Tommy, some where near Ben-one-eye i think. nicely done conversion!

[CanadianMiniFan]

amazing car. looks well done, interior not to my taste but hey, overall it's great.

[Avalanche325]

Overall it looks good. My biggest gripe is that piece of diamond-plate at the front of the engine bay. Everything else looks very professional. That one piece just screams amature to me.
