Leon Cupra R 1350 Kg
Mini Cooper S Wks 1205 Kg

Me : 71 Kg
Driver : 95 Kg

2 starbucks coffees : 0.1 Kg

Is a race spec 260 bhp the same as OEM 260 bhp ?

Do you have a fast taxi G60jet?

how polite. The driver is an ogre whereas I am laden with ankle weights to keep me seated .:happy:

What does a chipped LCR struggle against ?

Fair enough

Well shytot, your mate has a superb vehicle, as seen last week.
I think we have a genuine LCR stg2 beater here.

same weight, just more power, better handling, and a better build all round.

:(

Well my mate will be pretty made up with any compliment . He is obsessed with the mini !! [ I forgot to tell you we had 2 polish bitches and 1 italian in the back as well :whistle: ] for later.
If you spent as much $ on modifying the Leon as the mini has had then you would have caterham speeds in the LCR !!! We are out again this weekend so listen out for us :clap:

until then > nice one

Cheers for the pic! It looks superb, I love the fact it doesn't look too far removed from the standard works. But the trained eye would be suspicious.

Must be satisfying to pull up on us arrogant LCR owners and d*ck all over us, wolf in sheeps clothing is always fun!!

Mick noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I sh*t you not I was just about to post that piccie up but was too busy moaning to the driver of the mini to dig out some more useful photos as it has been carefully photographed, and you ve beaten me to it .:censored: :whistle:
There are some good mods to show. I of course being fickle love the colour coded kit.

Yes, that is my mates drive;) and hence car

Nb in that piccie of the engine bay the blue flex either side of the S/c are referred to as "snoot boots" . Hmmmm.

My mate has totally lost the plot, we now have octane booster for tomorrow's jolly:wtf: . Uh oh. I mean I like going fast but in the passenger seat its twice the speed. Do they do GTT nappies me thinks.
I ll be out in my Ibiza going backwards also so if anyone is around maybe we could arrange to meet in "the tunnel" :clap:
Or do VAG only hang out with VAG ?:banned:

Mini went on a track day at the weekend and an R32 that was tailing us died and broke due to exhaustion. Whoa! Lots of fun also had with with 2 Nobles.[ M12 / M15]. M3csl, 5 Scoobies , 2 cossies, 1 brand new XKR, R3 Clio, a swarm of caterhams and lots of enthusiasm

£99 bargain @ Oulton Pk.:D

One downside
Now needs new brakes. AP BBK = Not BIG enough!![:@]

Thats 260 GTT's car your all talking about.

Basically look here and tck all the boxes, most normal people without money to burn stick to a 220 conversion which is quick enough for most people, although not quite as quic as a BBR 300 conversion.

Green face of jealousy...

Do i sense an air of "i wish i had that?"

AntFR - perhaps 220bhp is not enough for people who enjoy their cars :p

I know i had to get more bhp out of mine, and even moreso now that the likes of GTT are about :-o

I guess we should aspire to these guys, not be annoyed by them :D

Hello

Well, the mini now has the BBK from Porsche and my god, it actually stops the wheels instantaneously irrespective of speed and skids to a halt like a tank does!:lol: Seriously, what a mod! I swear you do think death is there in front of you but the BBK just munches the earth and your motionless a fraction of a second later.
Yes, my friend does pile cash into his mini, but that is because he can and it isnt spent on crap or tack. Backseats are now out and 18" ditched for Superleggera 17" on R888. Yum!
Compared to my Seat which has Revo stg1 , a CAI and a forge as the only mods the mini totally annhiliates mine in 3rd gear 60-90 is just wrong, plain wrong, so yes, it does need more than 220bhp as the wks mini get put away by my car. GTT restored the imbalance :clap:

Just reread that he R32 dies chasing us, still cannot get over that!
