1.8L B18C5 VTEC, OBD1 management system, stock ITR intake, bulkhead has NOT been cut or modified, DC header with free flow exhaust, was dynoed at 168 hp at the wheels last summer. The motor has stock ITR vtec cams and adjustable AEM gears. With a modified cam and higher comp pistons a 65hp gain would be achieved, but it would be insane to have that kind of power with a small light car like this. VTEC starts at 5500rpm and tops out at 8000rpm

Transmission is hydraulic from a late 90s acura ITR with stock clutch which drives better than the Stage II it used to have. You don't get that "on-off" feel in normal street driving.

Brakes and wheels: large ventilated rotor discs up front with Minitec's alloy calipers and street pads. Stock drums in the rear. Minilight superlight wheels with color matched centers, Blue and Red double springs in front and hi-los at the rear. GAZ gas adjustable shocks on all 4 wheels.

Interior: Cloth black seats from a Mazda Miata with rear matching cover and Newton Commercial matching door cards. Aluminum SportsPack dash. Autometer phantom white face 2 gauge pod with 3 aux gauges. am/fm/cd player radio, 2 speakers on rear shelf and 1 amplifier in the boot.

Exterior: body kitted with built-in grill front driving lights. Car was painted in Corvette Yellow with Jet Black roof and bonnet stripes, underside is completely rust free. The bonnet opens and closes like a stock mini. Pictures show the car with 13" wheels.

This is a very very unique car, fully legal for registration transfer to any state including California. Most conversions have been done using extended noses and B series 1.6 or 1.8 engines because it's easier and everything is readily availalble. This car is extended a little less than 4 inches and has the B18C5 1.8L VTEC most people talk about, but can't afford. This car runs extremely well and will cruise effortlessly at 80 to 90 mph all day. It has a Fluidyne aluminum radiator with a 1600 cfm electric fan and it does not run hot, i have driven it in traffic during rush hour at near 100 degrees air temp and even after a couple hours it does not get above normal temp. if you live in the area and wish to see the car and drive it please call, i am not open to trades or silly offers. i know full well that this is a very special VTEC mini in north america and also one of the very few with a B18c5. If you are looking for a car that is the "Ultimate Sleeper!" call or email. thx
