Sam Clothier built his Morris Minor (FA51) to drift. It is powered by a turbocharged RB25DET NEO inline-six producing 400-500 hp (294-367 kW). The motor features a stock internals, aftermarket head gasket and studs, G30-660 turbocharger, and Haltech Nexus R3 ECU. The motor is backed by a T56 six-speed manual transmission and R200 differential. Everything is supported by a custom chassis using Nissan S13 subframes. The body features a cabin from a Ute, doors from a coupe, and back from a panel van. On each corner is a R31 Skyline TI 15-inch wheels wearing 195/55 tires. Listen to Sam explain the project to Simon Telford from Street Machine in the video below.
