pistonbroke Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 It's got one of them mamby pamby brake servo thing's would'nt know what to do with it Quote
Matt Lucas Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 better for what? Matt Edit - and why are you searching for "fee upgrades" Quote
Major Stare Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 better for what? and why are you searching for "fee upgrades" Would have thought it would have been as quick as a Westy, 0-60, handling? Free upgrades because im skint, so skint and i have to justify owning the Westfield instead of selling it to pay for bills Quote
neilwillis Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 It looks like a Mini to me, so where's the fun in that? Front wheel drive, a roof, ash tray, doors, a boot, 4 seats. About as much use as a BMW ersatz Mini! Quote
Blatman Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Better than a Westfield? Get a grip. That's possibly the daftest question I've ever seen... Quote
Leon B Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 its not RWD so def not as good as a Westy Quote
chrisbin Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Better than a Westfield? Get a grip. That's possibly the daftest question I've ever seen... says it all really....... Quote
Bronco Jr Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Now then, there's a certain Mini in germany, vtech and 4WD, that b******* takes some catching.... Ring Mini The blokes a bit handy with a wheel and know "the 'ring" like the back of his hand. Followed him for about 1/2 mile........ Quote
neilwillis Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 But he'd still have more fun in a Westfield Quote
SteveF Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 If you want a fun mini - try the Z Cars mini - the spec goes like this: Hyabusa Turbo Suzuki with ½ tank of fuel, all steel bodyshell, boot bonnet trimmed for road use and ready to drive: Weight 650 kilos Front Axle 320 kilos Rear Axle 330 kilos 0 to 60mph 3.4 seconds 100 to 0mhp 4.9 seconds Standing quartermile 11.0 seconds With terminal speed of 130 mph NOTE: This car was tested in February 2004 at Bruntingthorpe on road tyres on a cold day - and carrying an 80 kilo passenger as well as the driver. BHP at Crank 400 Power to weight ratio 615bhp/tonne Quote
Rob Navin Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Ah the Z car mini. One of those on my list of cars to own at some point. Quote
fastcarl Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 i think you will find the z car claims a little on the optomistic side ,and as for going round corners fast ,forget it as all the ones i know of handle like a bag of ****e ,we are talking snap overster on right handers due to the diabolical difference in drive shaft lengths[very short on NS].And as for the 0 to 100 time ,thats pure hollywood or putting it bluntly utter b*****k*. minis can be good fun, have you not seen the twin A series racer ,570kgs race ready and 400 hp on nitrous with 4wd. so far this car has managed a genuine 0 to 98 mph in 7.4 secs. regards carl Quote
