218bhp... bit lighter than std.... 444 in the uk of a total of 2000.


Alex

 

if you want to look like one of the millions of flanges that drive around in these jumped up slow arse bags of shite then feel free.

















obviously not my cup of tea, i prefer your subaru

 

I like em, well, like CooperS's, never driven a modded one or a flash one like that, but can imagine em to be bloody good

 

Thats a GP thou.... not a slow one

 

I would say yes

 

i've driven a Hartge converted cooper s,with similar power to this one and it was excellent

 

orrible fookin wheels on them

long live 4 spokes

ther than that, they look a bit less girly that the other 20 million mins about.

and id imagine they go ok too

 

i LOVE them, i would consider one but in the end the FRS would be the one i would choose.

 

My work has 4 of these on order they are awesome little cars
they are so light & quick there is a waiting list for them here

 

you are pretty much the LAST person i would have expected to buy one :S

 

Alex, nooooooooooooooooooooooo! Keep your RA, mate. New Minis are just wrong, especially that gash-looking GP.

 

hmmm 50:50

 

i must admit that does look pretty nice but love the old skool mini's

 

I love old ones too... I got 4 of them.

Always promised myself a new cooper s....

so I think I've paid a deposit

 

i like it

overpriced mind

 

Thats looks really nice Alex, not sure on the red wing mirrors thou.

I say go for it mate.

 

i think it looks awesome

I love that

 

oh dear....

buying new cars is far too easy

 

200bhp original mini. you know you want to What's your extreme might mini car pushing out? I want to build a vtec mini for my sister while she's at uni. she'd love it.

 

i went out in a brand new 2006 Cooper S last night. Love the noise from the super charger and the car handles really well. Bit bumpy but you expect that from a "sporty" hatch back, but still bumpier than my ST170 or a Focus RS

If the GP is lighter and more power than the Cooper S then gonna be a whole load of fun, it gets my thumbs up

 

Yes love em, and get the minisport 250bhp conversion

 

not as good as they cracked up to be IMO

shocking in the wet

 

do it mate,, they look really cool

 

I like the new Minis, but the styling on that looks too "fussy" for my liking, and looks like a Max Power feature car .

 

my racer is 140

my road car is 170 so I dont really need 200, I'm nearly there

Alex

 

its special mike

and the ads say its got 16" disks!!!!!!!

A slight metric to imperial mistake I think LOL

Alex

 

So whats different about the GP version compared to the Cooper S ?

 

How would your racer compare to a miglia? I've heard some crazy figures for those things!

 

All it needs is to be plastered in Foxtons Estate Agent stickers

 

mates just bought a cooper s with the john cooper works on it, thats 210bhp as well

 

about 50bhp,lighter,worked suspension and brakes probably too,oh and price

 

about 8bhp more

50kgs lighter

lsd

no rear seats

444 to the uk of 2000 total

recaro seats

better suspension

18" wheels

and a few more pennies!

Alex

 

get a z-car instead.

 

prepped for dogging, let's do it

 

At the moment not very well... its still being sorted the cage is a nightmare!

It should be quicker the end of this year... its a simlar spec with bags more grunt and less weight!

Alex

 

Got a bit excited did we


Nice one Alex... but as Chip says, Wouldnt have thought you'd ever get one!

 

Miglia's are quoted at what, around 3.5 seconds to 60? How fast is yours going to be?

 

3.5 seconds to 60

 

They aren't far off. I saw an aseries racer do a 4.18, but wasnt a miglia. Miglia's are almost entirley carbon fibre last time i saw one.
