I had a '64 Renault R8 in high school. 1700 pounds, 43 hp from 1108 cc's, 4.12 gears. The water-cooled engine was hung waaay out back. With sacked out swing axle rear suspension and rock-hard weather-checked 135/15 Michelins, it would do the sweetest donuts all day...
Perfect time to come across this video today as Scottos Audi build unveiling dropped today too.. "I might get it running one day... Its gunna be dope."
Thousands of people have put millions of hours into Sprites and Midgets just like this one on race tracks all over the world. A properly tuned A series engine is a beautiful thing and this car deserves a place in the right garage.
Well this was rather entertaining! Making me want to have a go at drifing my 72 1275..... Might do that with a video! Still... I would love to get my mitts on that motor and tinker
ohhh my god.... this dt brought a tear to my eye bc my father had a midget when i was only 5 but had to sell it bc times weren't easy. i feel the need to find it, if it still exists
Rematch! Too much uncertainty and no one can really claim a solid win. I would just call this day, "Two dudes take turns blowing out a hoonigan booty".
Don't know if it's possible but it be awesome to disconnect the Busa motor from the transmission of the motorcycle and then have like Collins adapters or somebody make you a special adapter to go from the Busa motor to the midget transmission so you still had reverse and everything and actually made that into a really super nice car with real power, nice modern suspension, and stuff.
forks ,someone else knows what a rockford is!!! that is the first time I've heard that in a long time...grand rod run, pigeon forge. used to have a burnout comp. over 40 year ago...i love it still. even though they don't do it anymore. tore the place down. used to to it right out front the main entrance. this is way better than anything on cable...don't sell out, please. elf
was gonna say I hope they don't post the video of haggard lurking at the Hoonigan Garage but I know it's not gonna happen 😅 good! looking forward to the footage of LZ tho
I've got one. Not good. Low power, little to no heat, not rain proof, bad body lean, tiny tires, always breaking down. The list goes on. That's why I'm converting it to electric and gonna sell it ASAP.
Here's a person from the UK responding as predicted :-). Check out Will Corry Motorsport for what we do with Midgets in Ireland and the UK. Also have a gander at what we do with Midgets in sprints, hill climbs and circuit racing :-)
Busa has 2 times the power? try 3, if this were making the full 60 too. One guy I think did put a busa in it but his design didn't work well as a clutch replacement meant full engine removal, which the motorcycle clutch didn't like the extra weight (be it not heavy for a car, but bike yes). Rover/Buick 215 are common, 4age, k20 and others as well. I think I might get one and run the stock one and then possible a duratec swap.
i wish i could find a nice MG B by me for fair $ . my dad had one in college and his insurer made him get rid of it . 3 sets of wheels were stolen back then and each set equal to like 1/2 the cost of the car each time. after he passed, my mom found the receipt for when he bought it and plan to frame it . id toss a red top SR into it though . always wanted to do it for him ,but never had the chance. never even been in one before. def gonna do it one day. .
The engine from a Honda S2000 would fit, and is already rwd. A friend of mine did this swap years ago, can't remember whether he used the Honda or Midget transmission though.

Watch Car Saviors on Discovery Channel after Street Outlaws - Monday April 17th - Do it!
Could you do a video on your Audi S2? Those things are wild.
+Dr. Bananable Lector With hopes, this show will lead to Scotto finishing that thing!
TheHoonigans I think that all the videos are badass epic All the above!!!!....
TheHoonigans I seen your show that rolls Royce is awesome
TheHoonigans what year is this car?
As an MG Midget owner and an Englishman I can tell you. DO IT ON THE GRASS!
As an MG Midget owner and an Englishman I can tell you... don't do it on a public park. you get shouted at. and fined.........
im going to need to try that!
@@TurboMiniTV Indeed you do
donut is outdated, more like a 40hp english muffin.
Eion McCullough a Danish maaaaaybe
as a midget owner all I can say is that they are awesome despite the lack of power
RaggedKiwi I own an MGF and it's fun to drive. But still not very powerful
Same
After seeing this I'm going back to buy an mg that I previously turned down lmao

Damn I'm in need for a 1275 A series, like gold dust here
weld the diff
It really is the answer to all hooning-woes...
So. LS swap Herts old ls3 in the midget. Since he's swapping in a rotary :)
This is the best idea on the history of the planet. Not a smart idea, but a good idea.
What about an rb20 det lol (if it will fit) or find a good turbo v6
They might not need Hert to break things but had he driven it the back end would've been caved in too! 👌👌
Never Disappointed!!✨
The owner is cracking me up. Hope he comes back

2nd burnout. Did one the exact same way with my ‘73 XP
ohhh my god.... this dt brought a tear to my eye bc my father had a midget when i was only 5 but had to sell it bc times weren't easy. i feel the need to find it, if it still exists
The most wholesome episode ever
I love that thing because I have 1965 2.2 ecotec swapped MG Midget!!!!
Fun to see one of the earlier shows compared to 2021!
Sad. I wish I had some of the parts from that car. My little project Austin could use them.
British Auto Salvage, Macedon, NY. Look them up.
I like to see a swap with a sport bike motor
Rematch! Too much uncertainty and no one can really claim a solid win. I would just call this day, "Two dudes take turns blowing out a hoonigan booty".
in the uk there is a thing called autotesting and midgets are very popular in them i have a 200ish bhp one
Im definitely watching Discovery Channel tomorrow

Are we gonna call those mini donuts “munchkins”? Y’all should get a
Midget in a mini doing munchkins 😂😂
Great BMC A-Series motor love it
You played yourself. Now you have to swap a Hayabussa engine in it
Oh shit this is when you guys get the RR that you guys are rebuilding right now #HoonEveryVideo
She needs the Ariel Atom V8 engine.
It fits.
With a Hewland sequential gearbox.
Perfection.
I was just ABOUT to go to sleep, sheeeit.
That reverse 180 is called a vin diesel because he does that in all his movies
Shootout to Scotto "finishing" the Audi CQ and it is dope
Damn it Hert !!! you don't even have to be there and you break shit !!!!!!!
Wonder if Acp ever sold the crx in Canada that Matt Farah was going to buy. Probably still sitting there years later.
This is just insane.
I'm British and there is a turbo my miget on my road and it does burnouts
I want that car. I'm being dead serious I want it in my driveway
damn. i want a midget now.
The only donut it’s making is Maple Bars.
that would be a cool car to see some triangle motor giving it power. the world needs more rotary
That car looks sick, hope he engine swaps it instead of scrapping it
radoriAUA It looks in good condition. Panel gaps better than most roadworthy examples in UK. Needs four cylinder 16 valve Ford power.
April fools!!!
Oh shit I'm behind
"Hert like hood." XDDDD
As a owner of a 1979 MG Midget 1500 I found the video despicable.
Same 2 79 ,1 76 1 72rwa ,1 AH 68 sprite things like this hurt and im not a pureist by any means
Thumbs up lol! I never claimed to be classy just claimed to own British cars.
Atleast it's running..SCOITTO
forks ,someone else knows what a rockford is!!! that is the first time I've heard that in a long time...grand rod run, pigeon forge. used to have a burnout comp. over 40 year ago...i love it still. even though they don't do it anymore. tore the place down. used to to it right out front the main entrance. this is way better than anything on cable...don't sell out, please. elf

LMAOOO THAT SHIT WAS OPEN DIFF AS FUCK
Time to roll up
It breaks my heart to see them abuse a Midget in this way. And a 1275 at that.
I want a MG Midget now
I've got one. Not good. Low power, little to no heat, not rain proof, bad body lean, tiny tires, always breaking down. The list goes on. That's why I'm converting it to electric and gonna sell it ASAP.

Alright, now I have to try that in my triumph
Spitfire? Swing axle rear?
I'd like to see that!
I'm a simple man, I see a broken hood, I like!
#HertLogic

In good old American tradition and honoring Caroll Shelby, PUT IN THE MUSTANG GT-500 ENGINE
Lol he tried.......Great video!
The british would cross pinkies to show extreme 😂
Busa has 2 times the power? try 3, if this were making the full 60 too.

What every car's last moments should be
i live just down the road from where it was built
i wish i could find a nice MG B by me for fair $ . my dad had one in college and his insurer made him get rid of it . 3 sets of wheels were stolen back then and each set equal to like 1/2 the cost of the car each time. after he passed, my mom found the receipt for when he bought it and plan to frame it . id toss a red top SR into it though . always wanted to do it for him ,but never had the chance. never even been in one before. def gonna do it one day. .
An SR would be a fun swap.
is that car for sale now?
Turbo it... Let er rip
I have a 1966 mg midget. I wanna swap the engine. Can you give me some good suggestions for powerful engine swap options. Preferably Japanese engines.
The engine from a Honda S2000 would fit, and is already rwd. A friend of mine did this swap years ago, can't remember whether he used the Honda or Midget transmission though.
skerp. Cars have nicknames.
I'm really sad about what you're doing to this nice British roadster.
It's a nice car, it's really nice and should be saved!
What happened to this car in the end?
But let me tell how fun it is to drive one lol it a bit go kart
oi, dont knock the A series. that thing is a master of design...
Well the e36 is totaled, 4 banger beamer swap?
he needs to be putting a busa swap in it
At least it had a good death and I hope my dad will let me drive his like that one day😂😂😂
