Ford Barra 4L I6 engine
Billet crank, std head & cams
Custom SPS pistons, Nitto rods
Garrett GTX47 turbo @ 39psi
Custom Tunnel Vision manifolds
Haltech Elite 2500, E85 fuel system
T400 trans, LMS 35-spline 9in diff
Custom Ford Snowflake wheels, X275 radial tyres
Power: Approx 1300hp

XD Ford Falcon?
They came with a 4.1 I6 as standard so not much, if any, modifications to stick a newer Barra engine in with bolted on goodies.
Sleeper maybe but hardly "modified".
Could have at least stuck it in a two door...

Still, gotta give those Australians some leeway seeing as they don't produce any cars now. Ford, Holden. all gone. Now their cars are made in Europe or some weird country like Thailand!

I have a sneaking suspicion that a diesel engine.
I thought they were banned?

Didn't know where to put this 3d printed car chassis! Like the idea but needs another roll cage for offside

very nice

Thats a gorgeous chassis, how is is done? Is like a 3-D printed lost wax type thing or is the metal actually printed?

"3D printed", although they don't call it that, there are a few bits coming through being done that way in cars, notably F1. The benefit is being able to add material in just the right way to add strength where needed, with no waste.

Just thought, why not put that body on top of a Ariel Atom?

Wrong thread imo, bodykit, exhaust, lights and stripes don't do anything positive. Wheels look good though.

Nope, crap body kit, exhaust OTT.

That 2002 though, very nice.

That Mini, while not what I'd do, isn't offensive at all. Certainly not worthy of the previous harsh comments, imo.

[HM-2]

Firm "meh" on the Mini. Well done, but definitely not to my taste and largely unremarkable in a sea of far more interesting modified Minis.
Love the colour, though it would look much better without the pinstripes. The grille/mesh in the rear bumper is pretty jarring too.

[PGNSagaris]

Ha!

Love the comments. Yes, the Mini is mine. What a hoot to drive and yes, I am biased re the mods!

Just wish I had more time to drive it
