I wasnt going to tell you all...


Recommended Posts

wouldnt mods void your warranty as well?

Not the factory Works upgrade. but at around $7K, brings the Cooper S, into STi range.. Hp goes up to around 210Hp...

Your other option according to your criteria, is the Alfa GTV 146... I reckon you'll find em close to th 50K mark, even less for desperate.... Now that Aussie knowhow.. donk the biggest motor in the smallest thing youcan find. Only if they made the 4wd drive version

Firstly;

Gay-MD.jpg

The only car mentioned in that entire book is 'MINI COOPER S'

lol, seriously though, if its what you want to do then go for it BUT;

Keed in mind that buying it new and that it doesnt appeal to many people the depreciation will be awful...

ALso keep in mind that they are gay.

That is all.

lol jk.

lmao

actually due to the fact its more a nostelgic type of car it wont depreciate a hell of a lot over 5 years in comparison to buying a GTR or a daewoo :(

homophobe :D

same as the daewoo... indicators on the left :D

and the mini is still faster to 100 and down the qtr and with mods will get more power out of it than the NA...

i take that back...

i thought they were 0-100 in 7.8

its actually 7.4 same as the mini

0-400m however neither of them state.

guess it will come down to which one impresses me more when i test drive it.

Why has no-one really come out with the :flamed:

Nark... man. as others have said... GAYNESS.

and im not joking. You want power... your want forced induction...

A mini with a mini blower is going to go no-where, maybe backwards.

good thing you did tell us all... so we can bust-yo-ass-fo-bein-stoopid!

in dunno... i have SO many defamatory words and insults for you now that i dont know where to start. :thumbdwn:

DOWN WITH THE FWD :talk2hand

:talk2hand

:talk2hand

I'll still give you a ride in a mans car once in a while.

but it's gonna cost you for being so gay :D

:( :zap:

rofl u tard.

i dont want a street machine... i want a nice daily driver that i wont be hassled by cops for retarded things like H patterns and Tyre freakin weights and whatever other bs they want to come up with. I want something where i can get insurance at more than 2 places which dont charge u thru the arse.

this is a temp thing for 5 years minimum until i import an R34 GTR from NZ.

nark, don't be sucked in by a new car.. while they all seem and good the "savings" you are talking about will easily be over-ridden by the expenses - the "scheduled servicing" at a mini dealer to maintain your warranty, the insurance, and most of all the depreciation. Get something 2-3 years old with a 2ndary warranty, much more sensible option. I doubt parts will be either cheap or easy to obtain either.

Minis are WAY over rated.

Definitely! One of the most overrated cars ever if you ask me. What is the big deal? They're overpriced buzz boxes and just "trying" a little too hard in every department.

lol at inasnt, RiggaP, smooth, and pushead's comments - right on the ball :( Hey we're only a small minority too, what is the general public gonna think of you as this tall lanky guy steps out of a mini :D Better get the mini-skirt to match the car, don't want a clash there.

Actually, time paint your 32 pink i think.. hehe

CooperS 0 - 100km/h 7.4 seconds

Hence when i had a run against one it looked like he was standing still at the lights. He actually seemed shocked at this too, next set of lights wouldn't make eye contact :D See that will be *you* nark if u get a mini.

God, you can't let cop hassles turn you off driving a car.. thats the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
