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.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
