SP450andLE Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Nice to see another Mini sticking with an 1100 engine, and not going all-out for a 1275 like most people do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Jones Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully you'll see a bit more progress in a week or two when I am back from Uni.Andrew Makes two of us mate, I study part time (work full time) and once my exams are out of the way it's time to crack on! Where abouts are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That's 3 of us, actually. Damn exams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banter Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm down at Christchurch uni at the moment, 3rd year mechanical engineering. As for keeping the 1100, I'm poor. A 1275 swap would mean upgrading to discs too which gets expensive! (for me at least) People seem to prefer the 998 over the 1098 cause it likes to rev a bit more (so I have read, I had learned to drive in a 998 but I was always gentle on her). But torque is fun! how about this for a comparison Same spec (not standard with those figures), different displacement. Bottom curve is a 1000. I got that figure from this article on the 1100, its worth a read! http://www.minimania.com/web/SCatagory/ENGINE/DisplayType/Calver%27s%20Corner/DisplayID/1128/ArticleV.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Gentle on a 998?! And I'll probably thrash the crap out of my Mini when it's going with the 1100, and I'll report back with any damages from over-revving (not that my Dad's one died even when he was valve bouncing in top gear for a few hundred meters )... Keep up the good work with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My mini is pretty well modified (1330cc, with kent 296 cam and stage 4 head etc.....) but it is epically slow compared to the other cars in my garage.. Still a bit of fun though. It's up against my 230 wheel kilowatt evo 4 and my 245 wheel KW bugeye starlet. In reality if you want to go fast don't bother trying to do it in a mini...

Banter Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I finally got the mini road legal and going nicely, but now I have to sell it to get something a bit bigger and more reliable.
