This is our entry level and the most affordable budget conversion we offer for the Drive-in Drive-out/Turn Key package line up. This conversion offers unbeatable value for money and compliments a proven 120+HP (In Stock Form) D16 single cam VTEC engine (last generation) into your classic mini stock length front end. In stock form this engine has the performance to match a highly tuned A-series classic mini engine but with added Honda reliability & 5 speed gearbox for motorway cruising. Moreover this engine has Coil on plug therefore its a lot smoother compared to the older generation D16 engines. Many go with this package who daily drive their mini for work commute and it surprisingly does 30-40 MPG if you are concern about fuel. 

One of the great things about our Drive-in Drive out packages is that we fully rewire and upgrade the electronics in your mini for future proof/max reliability. This includes engine loom, ancillaries loom and interior loom. Since the full car gets an update with modern switches, relays and fuse boxes, we bin the 50+ year old unreliable Mini factory wiring looms which never seems to work properly. 

Moreover, a custom steering column will be fitted which will be mounted low down and centred to the driver’s seat for better driving position and this steering column will have updated Honda indicator stalks and new ignition barrel fitted. Therefore indicators, wipers, parking/dim/ head light controls will be in built to the stalks like any modern car which is a great touch.

The subframe cradle is Mini suspension based to keep costs down much as possible therefore if you already have adjustable suspension on your old Mini setup, all that could be straight swapped to this subframe to cut down further costs. Also, a fun fact about this package is due to the compact nature of this engine and being all aluminium, this weighs 10kg less than the original A-series drivetrain.
Potential Motorsport Billet engine mounts, custom intake manifold, custom cold air induction kit and a custom 2inch exhaust manifold will be used to tightly compact the engine package into a stock length front end. Drivetrain is also equipped with billet drive shafts and a custom on board billet short shifter for sharper faster gear changes.

Furthermore, the D-series SOHC engine and gearbox that will be provided by us for the conversion will be a good healthy runner and few tests will be shown/carried out to support this. (i.e., compression test, oil pressure etc.) We try our best to source the “least miles” engine/g.box at the time of your conversion Or If you require the engine to be rebuilt using all new components, we can do this too for an extra cost depending on our schedule.

Styling wise either you can go for a Mk1 look, Café racer (like below), sleeper mk3/4 cooper or whatever you desire as the choices are endless. This kit is compatible with 10”,12” or 13” wheels. For the conversion we only cut the inner wings and everything else will be untouched. Unless you want a removable front end for easy access and serviceability.

For the base price of £7552.00 you will have a fully running converted mini using your suspension parts from your original subframe. Extras for this package would be the dashboard integration at £650.00. Dashboard integration is where we dismantle the Honda cluster into pieces and re fit the dials on a custom mount to suite the mini 3 clock dashboard. This is the cheapest option to make conversion look sleeper inside. If you want custom dials to your liking, we can make that happen too for extra. Furthermore as extras, we offer full set of custom billet adjustable dampers specially valved and made for the kit at £450.00 which will increase comfort and also by adjusting them, will give the performance you need with less body roll, two birds one stone situation. This conversion is by far the best bang for buck as it matches the performance of a highly tuned A-series engine for half of the price. All we require from you is to drop in your rolling mini to us to proceed with the conversion. 

FIY – Conversion duration changes depending on our schedule at the time. Usual time period is 4-5 weeks.
We are updating the site at the moment. Will post more updated pictures of the converted minis with most newest updates and videos soon.
