mini's are 4 hoochi's!! lol narkk man what are you doin????

an MR2 is girly...

weak power... no handling.

a hyundai exel is girly...

no explination needed.

a mini is a classic/nostelgic car :D

they handle extremely well... especially the cooper s with the upgraded suspension package and they go hard for their size.

my 2litre R32 stock does a similar 0-100kmh and 0-400m and this thing is a 1.6 and corners twice as well.

Have you driven one nark? Realised there is no boot space, no comfort features, and pretty ugly designed interior.. sure the 'specs' look good.. but for that sort of money youd want much more of a car thats offered.

If I were you, id go a renault clio sport... damn amazing little cars, every feature under the sun, handle better than a pug gti, and the mini.. and can be pixked up for about 30k now..

yep, front mounted fours, not the best looking car, but after you sit and drive one, the looks really dont matter.

Seriously man, drive one of those, or even the pug gti.. and you can see you'll get everything your looking for and more for 10k less.

Minis are WAY over rated.

all the car reviews on NRMA, Autospeed and the likes all say the build quality is far better than the old... even the brazilian made chrysler/bmw engine is apparently well made.

There is probably 10 other cars for 45k I would get before a Mini. I spose if you want to replace your manhood with a pillow who are we to judge :D You could get a matching Mini skirt :(:D

Seriously, December or November 2003 Motor mags had a write up on the SC Mini... probably worth a read.

i'll see what it drives like on friday... i dont want an NA... mainly cause i dont like paying 1800 for an exhaust for a 3kw gain... i want something i can get power out of easily... which a supercharged mini i can because it has plenty of aftermarket parts available.

if u guys can find me a car that fits these criteria for the same price i will gladly take a look at them:

1. it isnt a WRX (too many old people and women drive them and it would have to be an STI)

2. It has leather interior

3. It has a warranty and free servicing

4. is under 45k

5. Has some form of forced induction

6. insurance is under 1200 and the excess is less than 1000

7. It has to do a slowest ET of 15.5

8. Looks the goods

9. Is less than 2 years old

theyre ugly on the outside... unless u can get me one of the euro mid mounted v6 clios.... the ones here are frount mounted 4s arent they?

Now your talking!

Talking about ugly, the clio sport , even worse french made cars... or even worse Ghosn GTR... or that new renault with the big butt. That butt better watch itself, coz I got a couple of boots coming it's way.

I agree about the mini interior, creative but if it was half as the free flowing design of the outside it woulb be spot on. We could go one step further & following the design que of my next car....hurry up please "mr gaydon & mr silverstone", ive been waiting since december 02.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
