hi im building a turbomini and am close i hope to my first drive and was wondering what to expect what would you compare a turbomini with a standard unmod engine to acceleration wise would it be like a 130 vw bora or what sorry if question sounds daft but totaly unsure what to expect |

yeah, it's a totally different kind of feeling. And it varies so much depending on what the build is like.

Im yet to find a car that compares to a turbo mini for the scare factor. Sure there are plenty of cars that are quicker but they are far to controlled compared to a mini which adds a whole different element! lol https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

The problem with real machinery is that it is made to be quick, so you can put your foot down from 0-180 and it wont even kick out on you |

It's the zig-zagging as the boost comes in that makes it entertaining... |

I can't wait until i get mine on the road. Sad thing is that it will be the fastest car I have ever owned. Quickest thing I ever had is a diesel Passat. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Ive said it before, and ill say it again since going in a turbo mini ive never been in another car that feels quick Dont want to be negative but unless your turbo mini is 180+ bhp its never going to scare the hell out of you. Ye dont get me wrong it will be quick but dont think youl be racing evo's and ferrari's . Rick ps Il be honest id like to have a go in a 200+ one to see what the difference is Edited by cossierick on 24th Oct, 2008. |

Cossierick, If you no what fast car fell like then yes i agree with you, BUT, take for instance, if you get a chav that come from his 50 bhp corsa and NEVER been in any thing else, he will get mini a mini turbo and wet him self at just 150 brake :) It's all what people have been in and can compere to.
Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Rick ps Il be honest id like to have a go in a 200+ one to see what the difference is iv driven quite a few jap cars with over 600hp fast yeh, but if teh traction is there they are very stable, sit at 150 and it feels like 50mph. take a passenger in one and you mite get a giggle or a "fuck me this is rapid" as you get lifted out your seat, hands reaching for the ceiling.. take people out in the mini and they either end up in histerics or white as a ghost. Never been in a car as skary as my own, and i consider my mini to be quite stable :) evo's are slow. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

It's the zig-zagging as the boost comes in that makes it entertaining... LOL yes that can be quite fun, then theres driving it on any kind of damp surface.. even more fun.. I find I have to back the throttle off as the boost comes in to keep the wheels from spinning, its quite an art. My BINI is a lot faster but doesn't nearly replicate the shear danger of the Mini. If I want a thrill ride you can guess which one I get out!! I dont agree on the "takes 180 bhp to be scary" thing, Its all relative, Hell, Before the turbo I scared the shit out of a few with the 998 (38 bhp) City engine just by slinging ito into corners hard, Americans who drive pickup truckas and 4x4's are not used to that!!
