Craigslist Find: Turbo V-tec Mini

Looking to be a pest to the neighborhood Lamborghinis? Weighing in at just 1300lbs and being powered by a turbo B20, this Innocenti Mini has promise to be one of the quickest cars on the block. These cars a handful with just a V-tec swap. Adding a turbo into the formula should make this car absolutely volatile. The seller states that it will only take a day or two to complete being there are some items not hooked up yet. The front end has been painted as well as the flares. Find this little land rocket here in Longview, WA for $14,000. We think this setup will be more reliable and much more powerful than the R1 swapped Mini from a few days ago, plus we're also partial to British Racing Green Minis!

eBay Find: R1 Powered Austin Mini


Austin Mini's came with 55hp from the factory, but that didn't stop them from being an absolute blast to drive. This Mini has it's power problem fixed with a 2003 Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine powering it's front wheels. The seller has been kind enough to post several thorough videos on the auction. We've seen V-TEC Honda swaps in these little cars but this is the first motorcycle swapped one we've seen for sale in the US. Find it here in Silverlake, CA for $33,000 buy-it-now.
