How much power is too much for a Mini? Well this one with K24 swap is good for over 200 horsepower at the wheels.
The swap, which consists of a K24A2 from an early TSX paired with a six-speed manual from an RSX Type S, was completed using a swap kit from Mini Tec.
Other notable upgrades inclu…
K24 all things.
My old Mini had a 105hp 1275cc A-series motor and was soooooo much fun! Having 200hp and with modern tires, transmission and shocks would be fun to have sitting in the garage.
Aside from my personal vendetta against the company, I couldn't imagine a mini with that much power. Driving my friend's 1275 car feels like PLENTY of power. I bet it's a rocket.
All I can think is "torque steer?" Which can be really fun.

Mine had a Cooper-spec 998 and was fun, too.
I generally agree that 200 hp in a front drive classic Mini is a bit too much......my buddy had a D series in his and at 135 hp it feels just about right.
Mine will have 250 hp, but it will be rear drive.......
Why not make it a lot dangerous with some date code 4606 tires?
