I have a Stage2 superchip installed to my MO. This on paper gives me an extra 30bhp

So now my MO has more bhp than a MC.... On paper. Is this true in reality?

Forgetting about turns, Would a standard MC beat my Chipped MO on the strip?

BenMW · May 12th, 2004, 11:37 AM

Who knows... where ru from? Do you wanna find out if its true for yourself!!!!

If your local to Staffordshire, then I'm sure I could help you out there!

you guys thinking of a Fast&Furious style A50 run or a proper timed Santa Pod job ?

am in Derby and curious so happy to help - PM me where & when

0-60 on a dual carriageway from standing start's legal enough .. just need a quiet (private) road :}}

KenL · May 12th, 2004, 01:12 PM

From Superchips website & data the chipped ONE has about 8BHP more than a standard Cooper which they tested about 123BHP.

The Cooper has faster gearing which should help.

Are you getting a facelifted MINI? Think the gearing with the new gearbox makes things slightly different again.

Nearest dual carriageway to me is the A52. Thats easy enough from Derby

It might just have to be done. I reckon I can take you anyday

(thats fighting talk)

Kenl,
Not getting my facelift MC until end of sept

But I get to keep my MO(chipped) until then

I thought the gear ratios where the same amongst Mini's (apart from the MCS naturally)

THOUGHT you and Ben were up for it

; I am just offering to 'referee' (marshall, timekeeper etc)

Check my spec & you'll see mine's an MO also - that's why I'm interested - challenging me won't answer your query ....

if you're getting rid of your car, I guess u r not too worried what happens to it .... might be tempted to have a wee academic run v the winnner

... when did they make the A52 a private road ?

Due to get a loan car soon so cud use that as a 'benchmark' ...

PM me if you want to meet up

SERIOUSLY - Probably best you go to a Santa Pod Run Whatya brung day in the MO (sure there'll be MC's to compare times against) then go again in your std MC and post up the results for us all ... that way the only variable is the car - ideally track, driver, fuel, weather, temp need to be the same to get an accurate comparison

I thought the gear ratios were the same amongst Mini's - final drive ratio on MC is lower than MO

rsmini · May 12th, 2004, 07:37 PM

Come on guys - The obvious solution is to take them down the track at the British Mini Showdown in July. Not my local roads the A52 or A50 - I am in Derby too.

Have you got the quickest MINI then prove it in July

You can even show them classic Mini owners a thing or two

http://www.britishminiclub.co.uk/days

You can even win a nice trophy for being the quickest

J1JPE · May 12th, 2004, 07:44 PM

Good call Ade - see my comment above - was at Himley and am sure I read a post from you on that thread ...

We're looking for a few more Mini/MINIs for the Bedford Track Eve on July 15th (see sig for link) wud you know anyone who'd be interested ??? shall I PM you my address for a few 'complimentary' tickets to the showdown ? it'd be great to make a birthday weekend of both events ...

watching Gonein60secs last night just gave me a few ideas and fancied a bit of banter

Good 2c we do have a few east mids folks on here - we should arrange to meet ....

rsmini · May 12th, 2004, 07:55 PM

Be good to see you at the Showdown. I was at Himley on Sunday organising concours. Drop us an e-mail about Bedford and I will add details to the events page on the BMC website for you. I might even promote it in the MINI section for you

If you are going to the Showdown you have to wear a helmet to go the track

p.s We are swapping our MINI One (51) this weekend for a Red MINI One (53) from Sytners.

Ade

J1JPE · May 13th, 2004, 02:06 PM

Ade, just PM'ed you the Bedford Track Evening details, will try emailing you as well via the BMC site

rsmini · May 13th, 2004, 08:03 PM

I have just put the details on-line for you at http://www.britishminiclub.co.uk/events and sent out our latest new e-mail to subscribers and included details for you. Thanks for getting the info to me so quick - hopefully it will work well for you.

I have also had an e-mail asking us to split the MINI Cooper/MINI Cooper S class at the Showdown. As they say the S's have an unfair advantage on the 1/4 mile track. I will see what the BMC say about this idea - what do you all think

Ade

J1JPE · May 13th, 2004, 11:46 PM

thanks Ade,

Either split or make 'em remove their s'chargers ....

need 3 classes really - MO, MC, MCS

Guess a lot will be modded, dont think u can effectively check vs std cars

erwyn · May 14th, 2004, 12:28 AM

hmmm....everyone wants the fastest mini. Am i the only person proud of having a SLOW ar$e mini? I may be wrong, but I could well have the slowest new mini in the world? Well, it is a standard one, with a very heavy twin 12" sub box in the back so I assume it must be one of the slowest. But that's how I like it- driving around at very slow speads (with the windows up). Also, I can't afford an S...

oh cra£....i forgot i have an air filter- perhaps that will make my mini a little bit faster than another ONE with too much base? Time to bin the Pipercross I think.

PortRhombus · May 14th, 2004, 09:48 AM

Im liking the sound of all this guys. A 1/4 mile ''fast & the furious'' job is the only way realy. (as long as theres no speeding train at the end naturally).

See you lot at the british mini showdown.

J1JPE,

Yeh we should meet up sumtime. Dont think theres an east midland meet at present which is ennouying.
