Hello from Japan. I have a question about Minis in Japan. Do Japanese models get converted to right-hand drive or do we get models made for the U.K.?

Hello from England
I believe each MINI is built specifically to suit that particular Country`s Regulations.

Hi tinfro and welcome

I've read japanese designers created a different version of the "old" mini.
Do you know what are the diferences between each model?

DaFlake · Nov 22nd, 2006, 05:49 PM

WOW, welcome to the forum!

Welcome, Tinfro.

So...do you have a MINI? You're still welcome if you don't, but if you do, are any of those pictures above pics of YOUR MINI?

The black JCW was mine(pic I took before I got a chance to get it home...over excited I guess). I didn't have much time (work) to customize it the way I wanted to. It was sold because I thought I had to move back to the States (りこん）. Please feel free to send me your Mini pics or let me know what mods (or future mods) you've done.

beken · Nov 27th, 2006, 06:25 PM

Nice car. I like the aero kit.
Mine is totally stock. But I plan on getting a pulley and upgrading the brakes in the future.
So what are you doing in Tsukuba? Is that a university town?

I was thinking of visiting Japan sometime in the next year or so. I have friends who live near Kobe. So a bit of a distance from you.

lespurgeon · Nov 27th, 2006, 09:54 PM

From one Pacific Island to another, welcome. I saw several MINIs when in Japan earlier this year, but was more impressed by the Shinkansen, which was really fast and cornered like it was on rails.

Aloha!
