AWD Mini with a K20 Inline-Four

Maddog Customs in Wangara, Western Australia is building this unique Mini for a lucky customer. The owner purchased the Mini as their first car in 2000. The Mini received a built 1100 cc A-Series with a mild camshaft in 2006. However in 2012 the Mini went through a huge transformation. They cut off the front body panels and trunk bottom to make room for Mini Tec AWD B-Series front and rear subframes. The front suspension is a combination of Mini Cooper and Metro uprights, hubs, brakes, and CV joints and Mazda MX-5 uprights and brakes in the back. They replaced the small A-Series inline-four with a 2.0 L K20A inline-four from a JDM Integra Type R that sends power to all four wheels through a 2nd generation CR-V AWD drivetrain.

    1. Hi James. Thanks for informing us of the broken link. It appears they have removed all info of this project from their website. You can still find more information on the build in their Facebook album. Clicking on the image shows more information.
