Ello guys, just randomly thought today, just how powerfull are your cars and how would you rate them performance wise against other turbo'd cars and jap cars etc. Like what performance cars do you know for a fact that your turbo mini is faster than*tongue*

Dunno why i thought of this question but just thought it would be interesting to see what ppl say!

Cheers, Rich

depends how you define faster tbh, over the 1/4 mile? off the lights? down the B roads etc etc...

dont forget most minis will top out not far over 100mph so you'll soon get left behind if your going over those kinds of speeds in a straight line.

I know benross is the resident Scooby spanker though...lol

I duuno really, i guess 1/4 mile is the way to compare i guess, theres a local 1380 that pushes a blokes 4wd skyline up to 3rd which is quite cool!

I mean things like saxos and 106 gti's, starlet turbos etc etc... all do'able in a 130+ hp turbo mini?:cool:*tongue*

Haha, your looking a bit o' fun aren't you? I got cheeked up by a lad in a Civic Sport full of his mates. I don't have the turbo on yet and I'm not a street racer but it would be nice to wipe his smug face clean in front of his mates. Like a fully laden Civic Sport? Seriously...

Up to 120mph it'll out accelerate anything with less than 250hp per tonne, and a one or two things with more due to the optimised gearing of a close ratio mini box.

Pure physics once you've left the line.

If full road trim minis are what you are interested in the runs at avon park for my old green mini were good.

0-60 in 5.3 seconds in full road trim! 10psi of boost and no intercooler. Although my engine is not quite metro turbo standard.... 14.4 overall time

Dax do an extended version of their Rush model, its basically a cateram style car.

Interestingly they do a chassis prepped for the rover v8 to drop strait in, (slightly wider engine bay and different engine mount positions i belive)

Its my dads dream car, he has a high spec overbored 3.9v8, dirty great ellbrock carb, slighylu worked heads and all the transmission....

Now all we need is to find a spare 20k for the dam kit!
