Very nice :) Is that a 2" exhaust system? How did you find wiring up the engine? Any problems?

Lovely mini :mmkay:

Let us know how you get on with it as a daily driver in a few weeks or so :P

Some videos today since I've gotten used to driving it. This is still with the 17-17 sprockets.

Thanks all. I plan to flog the HELL out of it and hit some track days. For now I'm daily driving it.

Very nice car, what does it feel like with the R1 lump compared to the A series? I bet you don't see many other Minis cruising around town. I think I only saw 2 when I came to CA and they where both in the same driveway. :)

VERY NICE! I've been interested in the Pro-motive conversions since I first heard about them, good to hear of one somewhat near by.

First second are useless and third as well if you don't ease into it. The A series has around 50hp while the R1 has 150hp and 11,500RPM. Hit the power band and you have to hold the wheel with a deathgrip.

Its the fastest car I've ever driven.

I've only seen 4 other mini's in LA. ;D
