As long as none of the aftermarket parts cause the BMW part to fail, hes fine. He can still get his oil changed at his regularly scheduled interval.

Hey !
That looks more like a race MINI than a rally MINI.

I'm sure many of you noticed it's not really a MINI, it's just the shell they put on it. it's not a MINI engine either...
It's a car built for Ice rally racing. Extremly light, extremly powerfull and SUPER fast!

I was suspecting that a little bit. What is that "wall" between the cabin and the rear of the car? Is the engine front-midship or rear-midship?
