Had a race against a mini the other day and it could not pull away we both stopped and mini driver asked wot I had under the bonnet. He couldnt believe it when I said it was only a 1.4 16v, just wondering wot bhp they are I should imagine they are a lot heavier than a corsa.

Fabricated the whole system myself mate out of high grade stainless steel?
Dont think the pvb did that much I wouldnt bother probably add a tiny bit.
Gas flowed head and cams next just saving up wpt do u think would be a relistic increase?

though the bmw group are famous for being moddest with their performance figues and the mini cooper actually got a 8.9 on the 0-60 test. Though im not a believer on the 0-60 being a good judgement of cars.

add about another 229kgs on and you'll be closer to the weight of a corsa

Thats bollocks that is Is that the vauxhall weight? Mine weighed in a 1.02 tonnes with 1/2 tank, 16"s, them heavy as fuck V6 calipers, and the heavy false floor. Im pretty sure my cars heavier than a standard corsa, standard is morelike 950kg.
