I never thought I would see it. But that car defines the word OVERKILL.

Wow, I remember the first thread where you were putting it together. Glad to see it's all done. I can't wait to see some video action.

i remember seeing the original thread for this as well. when i first saw it i couldn't help but grin at the idea of an lsx in a tiny car. awesome idea! i opened it up and read that it's now operational, and i grinned again. you going to be absolutely destroying unsuspecting cars. hahahah great job! can't wait to see some videos.

Awsome little ride! But you gotta know, sooner or later some chick or some fat little kid is going to point at your car and say "Look, it's a Mister Bean car!"

Happens all the time

It wouldn't be any good with a vid because the car is in my shop- all the machines and air compressors going will drown out the car in the vid.

You know whats funny. About 2 days after seeing this thread I actually saw an original mini in a parking lot. And I said to my parents and GF who have been worrying about me putting such a large engine in a small car (rx7) and I said see that car right there!! Theres a guy putting an Ls1 in one of THOSE!

And I proceeded to claim my sanity using you as a scape goat.

Lol glad to know I'm not the craziest sum-bitch (sob) out there
