Mini RS Cosworth

[AshRS250]

My Step Brother has spent the last few years building a RS Cosworth powered Mini. Its now 99% complete now so he picked me up earlier this evening and we went for a little drive on some local roads. here's some videos of the car:

(there's more on my YouTube channel)

He's currently running the engine in so has it on low boost producing 260bhp and he limits taking the engine to between 4-5k max.

When he can dial the wick up it should produce around 360bhp.

Let me know your thoughts

360bhp in essentially a biscuit tin will be fking awesome.



Sounds brilliant.

Truely Mental. Love it.

[steeveeboy]

Is that FWD still or has he converted it to RWD?
Also...... AWESOME!!!

[Egg Chaser]

Words can't express how brilliant yet insane that is!

I don't really like the massive rear arches, but I suppose they're like that for a reason (I assume it's RWD/AWD?)

[Ian974]

By the look of one of his other videos, it does look like it's a RWD setup. Looks mental!
