He won't look gay when he dicks on most cars when its around 200bhp.

However that did sound slightly gay.

PIus intercooler, otherwise those mods will more or less be pointless due to high IAT's.

Even then it won't dick most things. My cammed and bodied 8v used to deal with S Works comfortably.

What makes ya say that?

I could hang into the coat tails, but tbh not a chance of keeping up over a distance really.

I have no problem now. Low boost and I go past them. :-)

My bad didn't realise I missed out the intercooler (just read this back to myself sounded like I was trying to funny but im not

Nice upgrade. Very marmite cars, I've driven about ten S's now of all ages and still can't decide if I like them. They look great though.

It was probably similar, however it didn't dick on any M3.

Still don't think 200bhp in a cooper would take any M3 its a quick car, so i did some maths.

Standard M3 is 226bhp tonne
Mini @ 220bhp is 192bhp tonne
A 106 at 750kgs with 157bhp would be 209bhp per tonne so sje its still not as quick.

The fact is you would take the mini as its better build air con etc.

[sje00]

Don't know where this M3 shit has come about.

[sje00]

Thought you may find this an interesting read.
I been chatting to this chap about his mini he is running in Time Attack. He's gone from the S'charger set up to same Turbo I'm running for various reasons. Looks a mental car!

I personally wouldnt have the mini. Mainyl because i dont require a daily driver. And i didnt really like the one we had as a family car last year.
Which is why i bought sje00's 8v lump

Everyone does know sje00 is running circa 380bhp now? Tom why is your thread turned into sonny bashing? If anyone actually met the guy they would find out he's a top bloke.
Anyway back to the mini.............

Like i said the other day, get a pipe on this! One of the best sounds ive heard from a car has come from a mini.

Not sure about that have you heard a 350z

However bushy90 above had a miltek now has a JCM exhaust (not jcw) sounds awesome.

[CraigLovelock]

Glad its sorted man.

I only had one day insurance on my charged eunos but couldnt get enough of the whine.

Nice head turner PTSSHHH is boring after a while haha.

Nice exhaust and intake should see a nicer whine

[UKtom]

thanks for all the comments people todays my first dat off since I bought the car.. did plan on giving it a good clean but it's now raining shall have to hope the weather clears up a bit later on..

haha they are wicked cars, honestly mate! more fun than my vtr anyway
only downside to them is that they're built so well, when you're cruising along in 6th gear it seems like a normal car, like the saxo doing 60mph.. then you look at the speedo and you're doing 90
so much fun though, superchargers are the way forward yo

it already burbles when you drop the revs in first gear, sometimes even a little pop
but I think a straight through it'll sound mental, gunna have to do some research lol.

haha craiggggg you need to get insured again, supercharger cruise is needed

[UKtom]

weather cleared up so got round to giving the car a quick clean.
