| Fastest M45 MCS in the World!!
The record has been brought home to Blighty!
Yesterday at Santa Pod my car broke the American held 1/4 mile record by crossing the finish line in 105.60 mph beating the previous record of 105.50 mph.
This record was previously set by an M45 Mini Cooper S without the use of NOS and we knew it would be hard to beat, but thanks to the right mixture of RMW parts, 1320autos know-how and a certain little green speed machine we managed to finally beat it.
So what were the stats? Firstly the times:
1/4 Mile:
60ft: 2.3694
330ft: 6.0222
1/8 MPH: 83.59
1/8 ET: 11.4771
1/4 Mile ET: 13.6859
1/4 Mile MPH: 105.60
0-60: 5.6 seconds
0-100: 12.6 seconds
Previous 1/4 Mile Times:
10/05/2008 - 13.6877 @ 105.01 mph
19/04/2008 - 13.8435 @ 105.16 mph
The car:
2003 Mini Cooper S BRG - 44k Miles
RMW Head
RMW 440c Injectors
1320 Camshaft
GRS Intercooler
RMW/1320 Custom Remap
Alta V2 CAI
Alta V2 17% Pulley
Janspeed Manifold
Borla Exhaust (Single exit Cooper version)
NGK Spark Plugs
RMW Oil Sump Baffle
Cross Coilover Suspension
Helix Control Arms
AP Racing Brakes
Stock Clutch (On the car since new)
No Diff
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 Alloys
Yokohama Parada Spec II Tyres (205/40/17)
Tesco 99 Fuel (No additives or NOS)
Std OEM Oil and Fluids
Considering the car doesn't have a diff and is still putting all that power down through the stock clutch IMO it's a testament to what can be achieved by the right combination of performance parts.
Big thanks as ever go to Paul & Jan at 1320/RMW for getting the performance parts list just right and to Chris @1320 for fitting them all with such meticulous relish. |
