no its a mid 15 actually... and its a Supercharged mini u fool not a beetle

haha.. i was wondering why he said stuff about a beetle..

i dont think ur going to get flamed that bad.. coz after all, everyone wants a new car at some stage :D

/me pulls out flame thrower: f.ugly, slow , and boring.. but your money :D last time i couldn't stop laughing when somebody actually tried to drag me in a copperS.. hey it "seems fast" lets go drag that skyline.

i only got yellow stickered once in melb, and its hardly as if my car didn't stand out..

p.s. you could get something a *little* more manly...

lol if i was to say no i would lie but i have always wanted one as a fun car but really wanted one after seeing it in the flesh... im going to test drive one on friday... if it feels nice and drives well i will be getting one... wont happen for a few months tho.. maybe around march near my bday

around 45 drive away :D

might get about a 4k trade in on my daewoo if im lucky... will find out for sure when i talk to them this weekend.

the one i want has leather, xenons, electric sunroof and 17s

-the list of std features is fairly impressive... plus its BMW so the build quality is excellent.

i want a red one with white roof, mirrors and wheels with the black leather and red cloth interior.

Inark,

Are you going the "Works" upgrade.... I had one of these for half a day, preferred driving my old Clubman GT. The seating & driving position drove me nuts, the steering wheel reminded me of a mixture between dodgem cars & the school bus. Went pretty good for a daily runna-round nothing to exciting, but the handling... wow for a front wheel drive the thing was rails.. about the only thing I clearly remembered about the cooper s, that friggin handlig.. "excuse me whilst I go pull myself :D"

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
