WOW ,im not a mini owner but had to come and share w/ you guys about the beautiful mini i saw today in the canyons of Malibu (so. cal,los angeles)this was a very unique car w/ alot of work it seemed like=it was lowered on what seemed to be coil-over shocks(it was probably 3 inches off the ground) had aftermarket wheels a huge lemans wing in the rear and made alot of power (not sure if had a larger super charger)(or maybe a larger turbo-although i didnt hear any turbo spool sounds)this thing seemed like an ultimate driving experiance,and i drive an evo 8 wich is a very nice car itself,but wow i would love to drive this thing
what are some typical upgrades that minis do to increase there power and handeling(and what is the cost?)?im guessing this guy had most of it done,what is the power to weight ratio of a fully built mini on average?do you guys do weight reductions?and with a proven coil-over setup and grippy tires what level of g-forces could you make on a skid pad,before losing traction?
sorry to ask so many questions ,and all responses would be appreciated,its just that im trying to find a daily driver to get thats as much fun as my evo and this car seemed to be way more fun and unique(my evo is being transformed into a strictly track car)
oh and this car was a beautiful brown, if the owner is possibly reading this i was the silver evo that passed you a couple times,id love to take a ride sometime
