mini cooper or mini cooper s

[Ben_L]

I dunno if its worth looking at or not? Is it too girly?

[Moke]

Stick with the Saxo :y:

[jeffchiz]

too girly lol

[Jaytee]

Cooper s for me. But the older one, with the supercharger.

[Gary-VTR]

Definitely too girly.

Can't help but laugh when I see estate agent types driving around Limp-Bizkit-stylee thinking they're the dogs baws in their Coopers. :homme:

[Ben_L]

fair enough. just they are coming up low mileage and cheap nowadays. I dunno what other cars to look at :(

[Tommo87]

get a 1275GT or an orgincl JCW.

[Ben_L]

nar i was thinking a newer one. something newer, safer and faster than a saxo that has air conditioning

[Tommo87]

newer,heavier,safer,duller.

[Saxo-Will]

older new shape with supercharger as said! was gonna get one myself!

[rey]

Cooper S, yes please.

Supercharger whine ftw.

[leeroybrown]

[jw1325]

[J222JRA]

Im getting one...Cooper S... going to be the everyday car for the mrs and something for me to play with at the weekends.

...and im a lass lol

you want + 160 bhp, get a EP3. supercharge it. FTW

EP3's standard are 197bhp.

So + 160bhp anyway.

[VTR-Chris]

superchargers on EP3s sound shite, that whine is annoyin

i was gonna supercharge mine but ive now decided am turbo'in it

[jw1325]

EP3's standard are 197bhp.

So + 160bhp anyway.

i know they are 197 standard.

what i meant was why buy a mini for 5/6k when u can get an (around) 70-80 k EP3 for 5k.... another 1.5k on a supercharger (ish ) and you have more plenty more power than the mini for relativley they same money.

and as for the supercharger whine.... if you dont like it its easily covered up with a Buddy Club Spec 2 or a full spoon system ;)

[VTR-Chris]

1.5k for JRSC kit?! maybe second hand if u could find one

id rather the sound of the turbo spool an dump valve anyway :P

for £4600 u can get the turbo kit supplied an fitted with management, which is what shall be purchasin with my bonus this year :P

[jw1325]

still!!! no thanks!

just...hondas are not built for turbos lol! just...no!


supercharge Yeshhhhhhhhh. Turbo. No.

why put a turbo on and have to wait a few k revs for it to kick in, when you already have a smaller, equally frustrating version of that with Vtec?

Supercharger = constant fun ;)

[VTR-Chris]

the vtec point is brought down to about 4k revs
