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.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
