Recommended Posts

lol denham shes selling the soarer and might be getting a Poojet (206) :D

meshmesh - thanks for the comments on it... thats probably one of the major things that attracted me to it, the power doesnt really worry me too much... i'll keep it std until the warranty is out and then put an exhaust and a few other things on it... wouldnt mind puting this kit on it...

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.

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
