lol denham shes selling the soarer and might be getting a Poojet (206) :D

meshmesh - thanks for the comments on it... thats probably one of the major things that attracted me to it, the power doesnt really worry me too much... i'll keep it std until the warranty is out and then put an exhaust and a few other things on it... wouldnt mind puting this kit on it...

mini's are 4 hoochi's!! lol narkk man what are you doin????

an MR2 is girly...

weak power... no handling.

a hyundai exel is girly...

no explination needed.

a mini is a classic/nostelgic car :D

they handle extremely well... especially the cooper s with the upgraded suspension package and they go hard for their size.

my 2litre R32 stock does a similar 0-100kmh and 0-400m and this thing is a 1.6 and corners twice as well.

Have you driven one nark? Realised there is no boot space, no comfort features, and pretty ugly designed interior.. sure the 'specs' look good.. but for that sort of money youd want much more of a car thats offered.

If I were you, id go a renault clio sport... damn amazing little cars, every feature under the sun, handle better than a pug gti, and the mini.. and can be pixked up for about 30k now..

yep, front mounted fours, not the best looking car, but after you sit and drive one, the looks really dont matter.

Seriously man, drive one of those, or even the pug gti.. and you can see you'll get everything your looking for and more for 10k less.

Minis are WAY over rated.

all the car reviews on NRMA, Autospeed and the likes all say the build quality is far better than the old... even the brazilian made chrysler/bmw engine is apparently well made.

There is probably 10 other cars for 45k I would get before a Mini. I spose if you want to replace your manhood with a pillow who are we to judge :D You could get a matching Mini skirt :(:D

Seriously, December or November 2003 Motor mags had a write up on the SC Mini... probably worth a read.

i'll see what it drives like on friday... i dont want an NA... mainly cause i dont like paying 1800 for an exhaust for a 3kw gain... i want something i can get power out of easily... which a supercharged mini i can because it has plenty of aftermarket parts available.

if u guys can find me a car that fits these criteria for the same price i will gladly take a look at them:

1. it isnt a WRX (too many old people and women drive them and it would have to be an STI)

2. It has leather interior

3. It has a warranty and free servicing

4. is under 45k

5. Has some form of forced induction

6. insurance is under 1200 and the excess is less than 1000

7. It has to do a slowest ET of 15.5

8. Looks the goods

9. Is less than 2 years old

theyre ugly on the outside... unless u can get me one of the euro mid mounted v6 clios.... the ones here are frount mounted 4s arent they?

Now your talking!

Talking about ugly, the clio sport , even worse french made cars... or even worse Ghosn GTR... or that new renault with the big butt. That butt better watch itself, coz I got a couple of boots coming it's way.

I agree about the mini interior, creative but if it was half as the free flowing design of the outside it woulb be spot on. We could go one step further & following the design que of my next car....hurry up please "mr gaydon & mr silverstone", ive been waiting since december 02.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
