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 include Recaro seats, Racepak UDX dash, fuel cell, roll cage, Exedy clutch, TWM individual throttle bodies and camshafts from a Japanese-market Integra Type R.

Located in Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada, this 1979 Mini with K24 swap can be found over on Row Your Own. The auction closes on September 25.

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.
