A bit of number fiddling me-thinks

Woops forgot the link!

Mini

Lol, what the hell is a racing carb needle??

And if he takes that to 8k revs very often then he's not going to go much faster than a snail on crutches.

9 secs? and 60+ on a stage 1? I'm no expert but hmmmmmmmm yes mate...

Everything is racing on that car! Racing falkens/budget tyres whats the difference lol!

what jammy you mean you shouldn't constantly rev that high? 8k wouldn't want to try it! 4.5k blows my ear drums!

[Pooky]

Its pretty much the same spec as my mini!

Mines 55bhp at the fly it revs to about 6k if i push it and i reckon i could get a 0-60 to nearly 10 seconds and a top speed of about 85 (after about half an hour of accelerating!)

[jimbo_edmondo]

you sure about that 10 secs? my old 72bhp MG metro used to make around 13 on a good day slightly downhill. Haven't timed the mini, oh yea because i don't have a working speedo at the moment lol!!!

[Pooky]

Well i've only really tried doing it once and that was pulling off of a country lane onto a major road. I had my windows open but was counting in my head and got to 11 seconds?

[jimbo_edmondo]

ok then, i used to do that. try it from some lights with a stop watch, get a mate next to you shout start an stop to him at the right times an see what you get. You might be right could just be me. I think for a standard 998 it is 16-17 seconds? so add say 20% more power? (stage 1) and 14?

Pub talk....

Ans: Prove you trousers on the black track, 12 days to go and counting, and I still havn't got a road worthy mini.... ARGH !!!!!!!!!!

[pdaykin]

Just remember, the 1275 Cooper S only did 0-60 in 12 or so seconds.

And the early cars were lighter with more grunt !!!!

[Pooky]

Maybe i count slow! :tongue:

It did surprise me when it was only 11 seconds!

[rob mini]

ive got a proper timing device and my stage 1 998 not set up properly did 0-60 in 13.78secs i suppose his could be about 11secs if its all bang on but why rev to 8k if its got a standard cam and how the doesnt he get valve bounce?!

100mph is achieveable in a stage 1 998 though

lol yea totally.

Rob mini that sounds about right to me. Oh and 100mph...downhill+tailwind? :cheese:

My avatar was a standard 998 just a K&N but was downhill.

[Pooky]

I can get up to about 85 on a flat road but it takes a while! :tongue:

Even before i had the stage 1 or any proper tuning i'd gone well off the 90mph clock downhill! Thats was on the L2B with all the camping gear! MOMENTUM!

[jimbo_edmondo]

At the moment i don't seem to be moving at all when at 5500rpm in 4th, oh i see its because my speedo is broken! lol
