if that was a red top in that then thats a pretty poor time for a mini should be lookin more at the low 13's ive seen redtop novas and corsa's pull 14.2's all day are you lot sure its a red top not a turbo'd 1600 it sounds turbo'd to me
i have a feeling it's a mk4 RS turbo escort with a V8 [back end highly modified] i've seen it a couple of times, but not sure [looked too slow to be the escort im thinking of
Mhy friend is Thomas Hankey. Owner of the "Mini Worksop" South Africa. I think (not sure) 4 age, 4af some shit like that. Im no spanner monkey, go on line search Mini Workshop and see pics of his car and others he has biult or contact him direct on online.cheers
its a 2.0 litre 16v vauxhall engine swap for those that have been asking...google it around a bit, theres a company thatll do a drive in drive out conversion for you...the other common swap is the 1.6 16v out of the honda civic, again google it. i belive z cars do a conversion kit for the honda, but the vauxhall i cant remember...
hehe youve got me thinking of all kinds of ideas now ive had a look at z cars, buy an mini with good bodywork that needs nothing doing to it, strip interior and just have 2 buckets with race dials etc and a 5 speed box with a type r engine in the back :D if i do it im sticking a video on here haha
14.6 is fast for a car like that. Most cars won't break 16 seconds. I was at Avon Park the other week and there were Clio 182s, Civic Type Rs and others all struggling to get sub 15.5s. Our modded BMW Cooper S cars were only running 14.2-14.5s. The Nitroused ones did sub 14s
Flying brick, very good! Perfect marriage, mini and vauxhall engine!

a v8 mini is faster than a vtec :D
x0hayabusa0x 3 years ago
Huuumm not really
V8 ways more then an v-tec and minis rely more on power to wight ratios

A mini Vtec is much faster than that.
