- We take the B16B powered Mini to a classic car meet with hundreds of Mini owners. But will they be as enthusiastic about it as we are or will they be unimpressed with the Honda power plant inside the beloved Mini...

show up to a civic meet next lol
Wheeliebrapingod 20 LMAO
HaroBubbles 👍 yes
+HaroBubbles yes
can i go to a skyline meet in my calais turbo or GQ patrol?
Uniquely, I think they'd actually be welcome.
First off, I just realized Moog is left handed. Secondly, I've never seen anyone turn the paper & write parallel like that
My dad does that. I think it helps you not fuck up certain letters.
Id say doing that would mean less palm drag through the wet ink.
It's actually pretty common among left handed people, it's to stop you smudging you words as your left hand follows what ever you are writing so you naturally form a habit of writing on weird angles
Justin Melendez I have a classmate who writes like that bit right handed also
I'm 32 and left handed, and this writing sideways concept never even occured to me. Lmao.
That judge at the end talking to moog about mini snobbery and how he loves how people modify them. That was a genuinely wholesome conversation
Wait. What? Moog writes upside down??
He should get an award just for doing that!
Liam Gabriel Ullrich upside down AND sideways....
Liam Gabriel Ullrich I
lol, still second place
@Sean Gavin Yeah, most of us do the sideways thing it seems. Just easier.
Feel like it'd be real convinent if he was like signing autographs one day lol.
"If you vacuum it you might win" haha the shade
This ^
that^
That "president" is such a loser
Why?
On tonights show, Moog writes upside down, Marty needs to go to the hospital, and Dose Vader does not want a child.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mcm Please make this a thing at the beginning of a video.
Tomarom wrong page go back to superspeeders
Tomarom your picture wtf?
Gold!
“Are you the owner of this? Young fellow.” 😂😂😂😂
Fella*
The trillions of hours of energy, effort and sweat to convert this Mini and buddy is judging cleanliness of the floor mats and dust on the pillars...jeeeezzzz....
old farts, go figure.
That old guy was kinda rude and you can tell moog was hurt
It's a show and shine. What do you expect
let me just turn this paper 90 degrees and write completely sideways first....
I want your babies
Ayyyy Riley!!
Backyard Built don't worry about it. Just watch this
Drift writing sick angle right?
Maybe it's a 180 thing... he even writes sideways
Im left handed and im more confused than everyone else.
mrsquishyboots my head started hurting after watching that
mrsquishyboots its a sickness and I will pray for your soul.
you didn't choose to be born left handed.... 😟
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS I guess you could say moog is downunder with the sickness ba dum tss
*_OH ACH ACH ACHAAAAA!_* 🤘🤘🤘
left handed as well, never seen that before
Are you the owner of this one young fella?
Luco Zade *young*
Said it to a 80 year old 😂
,
All of You don't get it😑
sort of disrespectful
"We maybe not won our category, but at least we were only Mini there that can do this" and then overpass by Mini that did win JDM category and can do more than their Mini! LOL
Absolutely chopped.
Wonder why they didn't go after the blue mini?
Didn't Marty say "you didn't even go over the speed limit." Meaning they didn't want to ?
Sorta like the picture of a speedo reading 173 mph, yes mph not kph in my friend's car, idiot let go off the steering wheel with one hand to take a picture.......
gsom7 nah, didn't even hear the vtec kick in. They were under 4K
"I had no idea that my engine's actually irrelevant..." LOL

I hope you weren't expecting a big huge trophy in a Mini competition. How would you have carried it home?
LOL.. Yeah, he'd have to take his trophy apart to get it in the car
But it would be hilarious to give huge trophies out and watch people try to get them into their minis.
This is MCM, a big trophy would just become their new exhaust tip.
"if you don't own mini you don't know the feeling of owning a mini"
it checks out
Would love to see some track footage with the new motor! Looks like an absolute blast to drive!
"how clean your car is...the engine is irrelevant", the same angle most highschool student body elections take
The same angle most U.S. presidential elections take.
Jann Bautista fucking hell
Jann Bautista the joys of concourse
Oh man, the MCM guys were just trolling those poor enthusiasts…
On the other hand, they might have wiped out the competition in the "Modified Competition" class (3:38), so it was nice of MCM to compete in the "JDM" class.
They would not. There was a race car Mini that looked heavily modified, while Moogs Mini was just updated with relevant engine/trans/brakes.
radio - "All units, Look out for a Mini doing 140.... "
units - "Yea, right. Say, where we eatin' at, mate?"
Its 09.52 in the morning, and you already made my day with this comment
b1pig LOL! although it is possible to crack those speeds in minis. mine will do that (at a push) but it's not standard by a long shot
Cooper would approved this ! The most powerful engine you can fit in the lightest body possible !
V6 be better
@@txylor7288 probably too big. That b16b engine i4 is already like too big for it. Space is only too tiny.
A Lister LT1C single cylinder high revving air cooled diesel under the bonnet of a Mini . . would cut grass big time , up in the NT of Oz , back in day . . five of us (some not small) went on a hunting trip down the track of a round trip of 500 kms or so with all our gear in a Mini Minor . . you can achieve a lot with Mini's , but not if you are claustrophobic
Sacrilege: electric motor swap it.
Be more powerful than a Honda lawn trimmer.
technically the best power the weight is a cart styled layout its extremely light weight balanced even better rwd or awd and to top it off cart engines for being so small can make huge power with a supercharger or turbocharger but i do love me some minis
Not only is this legend a lefty, but he also writes in Hieroglyphics (vertical!).
Teachers would of loved him 😎😉👏
WTF. upside down left hand writing. guess everything is the other way down unda
No mate, you have to write upside down in Australia because it is south of the equator and the letters would be backwards otherwise. It's science.
kopfschuss881 Lefties the wonders of this world.
Ariel SDV In reality which way is actually up though
Is it because we use to regard lefties as criminals so a lot of them got shipped off to 'Straya which means it's now full of upside down writing scallywags? ☺️
kopfschuss881 Obama also writes like that
You guys should do a video on Australian modification rules like what limitations you have when modifying the internal and external features of a car.
Below a certain power level the regs can be annoying, but once you hit over 400KW the cops can't catch you so it doesn't matter as much =P
i like to se a neson moter car .
and than someone got to do it for germany :-D
That's not even a question that fully frames it. On their website (I read years ago) that different areas of Australia have very different rules for what can be done.
DE Nichols true. Victoria is an absolute nazi state when it comes to modifying cars.
Hahaha, "The engine is irrelevant..." Chopped!
Man, that had me rolling.
In 20 years time, Bad Obsession Motorsport will be able to show their Mini.

At the moment it's going for paint!

Who cares if they hate it, as long as Rake loves it!!!
It’s the difference between a fanatic and an enthusiast
i love how the place for the mini meeting is so mini but it still fits so many mini`s. its kinda wholesome.
"If you don't own a Mini you don't know the feeling of owning a Mini." Kind of like a Miata. Miatas are so fun yet you get judged hella hard for owning one. Don't knock it til you try it!
yeah i"ve owned a mini damn thing kept me poor. if it wasnt rust repairs it was mechanical faults
To be fair you don't know the feeling of anything you may own till you own it. Same as say "you don't know the feeling of owning a blender till you own one"
CapnFlappyJaw says a Suzuki cappuccino owner
same thing for bmw
CapnFlappyJaw same can be said for penis .....
you know moog took the skid way of life when even his hand writing is sideways lol 3:50
SaireBerhid underrated comment
SaireBerhid to hell with sideways he was writing completely upside down at one point
SaireBerhid *SKERT*
One of the best posts you ever made: The VTEC Mini series!
Respect for Moog not taking that crap from the chairman... I find show and shines to be the most dull thing.
Super Vitz that's punny.
Aha, that wasn't intended.
I don't think the guy gave him any crap, and as always Moog was very polite and respectful. The guy was just honest and told him what kind of contest it was and what they look for. It wasn't a "how cool is your car" kind of thing, it was more based on how much effort you took in keeping your car looking nice and clean.
@@aliceshaw8265 these fuckers are there all day long, being able to sit instead of standing for 8 hours is not an issue; in fact, some people have health problems with their legs like deep vein thrombosis that requires them to not stand on their feet for long periods of time. I mean, not everyone can hire a trailer to have nice recliner next to their car ffs you must be like 15 or something or have no awareness outside your own mental world.
@@kuromurasaki5273 Your're a moron. Gym shoes was just saying that events that require participants to sit by their car for 8 hours is not his thing. It wouldn't be mine either. I'd rather watch people drive cars instead of sit beside them. You must be like 80 or something or have no awareness outside your own mental world. Read between the lines sometime.
now you need to go to a honda meet
Car cleaning competition.
I know, how disappointing!
Thats how classic car meat goes, doesn't metter how modify your car is. Only thing that metters is how well is cleaned and taken care off, paint most be perfect, no rust anywhere, same goes for the interior, most be cleaned and everything most be perfect. Most classic car meets with competition i go have 2 category, one that is for purist, no mods allowed, where cars are valued on how original they are and the modify category, if the meet is big enought they slip that category in sub categories, in the end most cars are judge by how much hard work was put into it and to keep it looking perfect.
cable ties and duct tape are a big no no
say you are in a purist category, everything would have been stock and it comes down to who has a better maintained car.
if you are in a modified category, unless the car has trims falling and duct tapes everywhere, its rather difficult to judge since there are so many varying parameters. how do you compare between somebody with a transplanted Vtec vs a turbo charged mini? how do you determine which is the better way to route the various pipes in a heavily modified car? so as long as everything is bolted on nicely and routed neatly, you are stuck with judging on how well these cars are maintained.
Thats were the sub categories in the modified category i told about comes in. Judging if the meeting is big enought, they will create more categories to fit similar cars and be as fair as possible, in this case, the Super Charged mini would problably be in stock engine modification and the Vtec mini in engine swap category, you could also divide the stock engine in other category and so on and so on. If meeting doesn't have all of that they will problably vote on the most impressive car, the one that is soo well modify that look like a car manufecter did that, not someone else, how clean the car is and ect. Some meeting also decide the winner by letting the people vote on who they think its the best car.
You made a mini that's actually reliable! ;-)
Lacks talent and or understanding to make a Mini reliable. They were my daily drivers for years...
A friend made his Cluman Estate powered by a 4 cyl Suzuki twin cam with turbo & 5 speed. Plenty fast enough.
Most VTEC conversions are sold by owners within a couple years.
If you want a balls out Mini get a Z-cars Hayabusa conversion. 0-60 under 3 secs.
@@johnwren3976 yeah seriously and if you really want to go nuts rwd swap it as well it would feel like your own little group b car at that point just put some rally tires and hoon the hell out of it
Great show, congratulations on coming second guys.👍🏽
I’m glad your mini was accepted by other open minded mini enthusiasts, you guys put a lot of effort in and deserve some credit for your hard yakka.
Well done guys 👌🏽
We have brand new MCM long sleeve T's, a new black Spine Shock shirt, plus a very limited number of Australian made, hand crafted Chopped Pendants in solid silver. You can check them out here: mightycarmods.com/collections/frontpage (Shipped Worldwide to your door!)
Mighty Car Mods even to Canada ? Cool🇨🇦
Mighty Car Mods please please please turbo the mini it would be so so so so so sick
turbo the mini
darren reichelt I don't think there's any room.
You should get a lighten flywheel for it. So it revs like a F1 car.
that judge was a ricer
Many years ago, when I was eighteen, I owned the only car I have ever truly loved. It was a 1963 1071 S , with a 649 cam, LCB, straight cut box, and twin inch and a half SU's,. etc, etc, the little red thing would hardly ever start, would, often break down, and cost me a fortune to insure.. God, how I wish I still had it today,,. They're right when they say you never forget your first true love,,.. Thanks so much for this series of videos,, all the best,, , John.
the sound is just amazing...hope to drive it really will make my dream come true...
Marty's reaction to being driven quickly is exactly why I love my hopped up old car. Nothing makes you scared / happy like that.
I think Marty honestly summed up what I love about certain cars at 13:31 and how they give you a mad adrenaline rush. Moog wasn't even going above the speed limit and yet it felt like he doing much greater speeds. For a daily driver or just driving around on the streets, that is a great little car.
omg what the frick!!!! You could have a car that runs once in a blue moon but if it's clean you win 😂😂😂😂
yea it is called reading the rules before you enter
Dude... I’m part of a classic ford club and there is a guy with a 73 bronco that was last painted in 1991 and has had the same tires sinse 1999 and the tires look brand new. The paint is actually better than what came from the factory (original colors just polished). And the interior is show room quality of life. I don’t know how people do it honestly
@@fordrestored4646 I do... He doesn't use it as an everyday motor.. Probably spends most of its life in a heated garage and comes out only to go to shows??
@@fordrestored4646 those tires are now unsafe to drive on the road

Owned civic ‘92 vtec 160hp.... that sound and how it revs is unmistakable. what a car, what an engine! what a great time of my life. Great combo with Mini, good on ya fellas!
That blue mini was hauling these are so cool haha.
I wonder what it had.
no vaping and flat brim caps at a mini meet
Seeing Moog get this jazzed up about a car is awesome. Congrats my friend.
Watching you fill that form out gives us viewers a unique insight as to the workings of your mind 🙃
What happen to the Mira build😢😢
the Mira is a wip but one of the mcm Mira was crushed
augus li None of the Miras were crushed.
fine a cuore
augus li Why is that relevant? But yeah the Blue Turd did get it.
isnt a Mira a cuore?
Watching this actually makes me want to buy a mini.
I suppose in your country it'll be a lot cheaper man.
Do it... Makes me miss my Mini
I've been wanting one for over 30 years, this just made it worse (better)...I'll make sure to clean my car though, as apparently thats the most important aspect lol
microbuilder I just want to say to you that If you don't do it now you might never do it. I really hope you get your Mini one day.
Thanks man! One day I'll have more money than bills, on that day I will have my Mini lol
The judge you talked to about modified Mini’s is cool af! He truly understands car guys!!
You guys built an incredible mini...ive grown to really like these little cars from this video series...thank you
7:58 "Don't like the Honda conversion... Don't like people doing it... Until I saw yours. Now I'm gonna do it too."
13:14 "Told ya so."
LURMINATI CONFLIRBD
Honda meet next
This whole build is really inspiring. It makes me think hard about the '88 Fiero Formula In my backyard, waiting patiently for a timing chain.
"Ow you look at the interior also"
*Remembers the headliner falling off*
How bloody left-hand challenged is Moog that he has to write nearly upside down? Or is that normal in Aus? 😉 Love the vids!
Shoutout from Mexico, long time fan, love the recent uploads!
I love what you did with the Mini. I live in the UK and have not seen one as good as that
I love the relationship marty and moog have! Love you guys!
"Oh you're coming too, great" savage
The blue mini Chopped you at the end
I just smile every time I see an episode with the mini in it
love the mini series. have watched it several times
I need to wake up to go to work in 4 hours but fuck it, It's MCM.
left hand skills represent!!!
really enjoyed this video. just enthusiasts coming together with a great passion.
What blows my mind is how you filled up that form
did he just write sideways... but up side up?
3:52 aliens are amongst us!
so much love for this build.
Awesome effort from all involved
I just met Marty in a Coles a few minutes ago and here he is popping up in my feed. My gnocchi is delicious, thanks for the tips Marty!
That judgement method is fucking ridiculous hahaha Literally How Clean Your Bloody Car Is
I was thinking the same, but the judge did comment saying that it looks like it was put together last night. Not to offend, but fit and finish does matter. You can't just expect to win because you put a Type R motor in. At least make the effort to detail your car if you expect to win.
Slaythan what part of shine in show and shine dont you understand? If you dont like it dont attend em. Pretty simple. At ANY club level car show cleanliness is next to godliness.
of course dude, but when the detailing is literally the ONLY fucking thing they consider, it's ridiculous. why bother bringin a mini then? could be any other godamn clean car if they're checking for you ability to polish!!!
yeah this is a better elaboration of what I mean, shine and show is great, but when the main point of that little mini community is showing off their unique builds it's a bit of a kick in the face to all the people who had spent months engine swapping etc. Shine and show judgement would fit in better in a "Purist" club who really care about keeping originality in their cars.
Personally I hate washing cars. I will say though, it levels the field in terms of budget. People with little or no cash can wash their cars thoroughly and win. It also stops the "arms race" of mods and makes sure cars are finished properly instead of being hacked together.
P.s. but I really hate the "my car is cleaner than yours" mentality. It leads to great cars being garaged instead of driven. And that totally ticks me off.
Excellent job, I like the modification it looks like it was done very professionally
I think the most interesting update to a mini is to fit a BMW 16V head. You did well, lovely job.
@3:50 Moog, you have an interesting approach to handwriting. I've never seen anyone write with the paper turned like so.
4:19 to keep its "Integra-ty" hue hue hue.
👀
So glad for you guys. Some day I’m going to restore my 1993 Honda Accord, 4-door sedan, 5-speed manual. I’ve owned it since 1998. It’s my only car, so obviously it’s my daily driver even though I don’t drive every day. It’s a little rough looking. So I call it Hondazilla, although it doesn’t breathe fire. I want to put a turbo in it. Probably the only mod I’d want to do. Difficult to find parts, as you can imagine. I love your channel. A real inspiration.
I need to see more of this car!
That was very odd way to write. never seen anyone write like that before lol.
award for fastest in show!?
YUP!
Awesome meet! Amazing Mini’s!!! Ahh the sound of the B16b!!
Beautiful work bro I have love for people who understand a car and knows how to work on something like that . You get to me a real gang gang 💯❤ from Puerto rico
I think Minis are in certain ways like Hondas. You need to own one to really know how great they are. Hondas get lots of shit talk but ones you own a S2000 or Civic Type R you realize how well they are built and how great pieces of automotive engineering they are.
HenkkaWRC I've got a 12yr old DC5, & it's better than many newer cars...
HenkkaWRC you have a point, man. I've driven a few 90's hondas, and they are incredibly fun. I'm not sure why exactly, but they all have that same spark of enjoyment that no other car has.
jtpro0244 They are just built well... They drive extremely well too... I've seen the specs of multiple new 2017 cars from other manufacturers, that have equal or less power on their top models... Honda were ahead of the curve, but stayed humble, if that makes sense... The DC2R DC5R & DC5S are track cars... Incredible grip for fwd cars too... The engine in my car is still quieter than the 4cyl in the 2015 Mercedes A,B,C & GLA... I've compared them before... Take care of them & they won't die... Just well built I think is what it comes down too...
HenkkaWRC they also handle well for being fwd. which is why alot pf people give em crap for.
gusgus 1991 Until I bought one, I was one of those people... All about rear wheel or all wheel drive...

You guys single handily inspired a new generation of mini owners
Love the ending guys..... great video.
I can see moog as one of these old guys one day XD
You got First Place from me. In EVERY category. (Except hauling ability, the mini panel truck has you beat; SO cute, although you do "Haul Ass"). A little foreign matter on the floor mats doesn't slow down the VTEC a bit.
I think those guys would be better off judging living rooms.
That Mini cooper sounds amazing when VTEC kicks in and it goes really fast out road
best car show on the internet . good job guys 💯
3:55 - he's writing sideways😯
I saw that too *WTF!* 😲
He left handed most of them write like that I do.
a leftie would do that
MCM! A co op with Ronny Dahl would be fine as. join them in the bush! Thanks for a great video, keep up the awesome work. Greetings from WA
mcm makes me so happy! i cant wait to have some maddd cars
This is a model of how we should all interact with each other.. Superb car also
13:26 When VTEC kicks in yo...
Second place in a class with only 2 cars. Like thanking someone for getting their ass outta bed and showing up with their car.
or as some would say
thanks for turning up
Nice to see a few minis with my estate and gt decals on.
dude, you have been extremely lucky. I once participated in a competition (not cars, something else) and I had to share the third place with somebody else. ...and we were just two competitors...
