DIY 450bhp Cooper - ZCars

Just come across this on ebay;

2001 MINI MINI COOPER RED on eBay, also, Mini, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 13-Jun-08 18:59:33 BST)

450bhp Zcars Cooper, with Honda Civic Type S engine - not cheap though...£37,500!

To be honest, I can think of better things to spend that time of money on...!

Dunno how that got to be 450bhp with a civic S engine, even with a turbo? Photos are from 2004 as well so it may not even be in good nick, way too expensive!

5 seats? I think that might just be a mistake on the sellers or ebays part.

That's so cool paint the roof red but standard alloys and a One badge on it and you would have a real sheep in wolfs clothing.

Is it really a MINI if it has a Honda engine in it? A lot of money for the sake of being different in my opinion.

It makes Rolands £10k Turbo conversion for a MINI Cooper S seem cheap! You could have 400bhp for £16k once you addi n the cost of a £6k MCS, now prices have dropped. It would be similar age to the Z-Cars one too.

Still, fairplay for doing it.
