My Old Minis Been On The Rollers........
 

My old mini which I sold about 6 weeks ago has been on a rolling road with it's new owner.

I never put it on so was interested to see what it got....

302 @ the wheels :eek: :eek:
360 @ the flywheel

660kg with all fluids :eek: :eek:

Quite pleased ;) even if it's not mine anymore :p

Matt

:eek: but :cool:

You shouldn't have been so greedy with the price mate as I would have had it off you! ;)

:norty: really? :confused:

Matt

What sort of mini was that???!!!!!!!

What did you do to it?

I was thinking, even the Hayabusa mini's don't produce that sort of power do they?

Maybe A mini-Metro 6R4???

joe

What he said!? ;)

Excellent matey .......hope you got what you wanted for it in the end?

It was a classic shaped Mini with 2 R1 bike engines installed. Details of the exact car can be seen here

Matt, probably not in reality.

Very cool!

Thank you! :thumb:

Thanks Scott, makes me even more sad to have sold it but nevermind :)

Gary - yes mate got what I was expecting thanks :)

I'll post a link to a vid clip of it on the rollers :norty: :D

Enjoy!!!

Matt

what bhp/ton does that make it then?

I have a hangover and doing the sums would make my head hurt more :lol:

over 500bhp per ton, I think :confused:

Matt

480bhp/ton with a driver give or take.

Why did you go down the twin R1 engine route and not the turbo hyabusa(sp) route?

I have been thinking about one of theses for about a year now. Time is seriously against me. How many hours spread over how long did you work on the project.

Two busa's wont fit in the back of a mini, R1's are very small in size compared to other big cc bike engines.

Z Cars Ltd did ALL the work and spent over 1000 hours on it but it was the first and still is the only road legal twin bike engined mini done

Matt :)

lolsss not two busa engines, a single TURBO hyabusa engine. Would give the same power and more torque that 2 R1 engines. And would be much less complicated. In addition could be tuned to about 400bhp if you were absolutly mad.

There has been a turbo'd busa (single engine) done and it had slightly more power than my old one but because of this had a less traction (much less weight over rear (driven) wheels. In effect was slower round a circuit :)

The first mini dvd features the turbo 'busa car and the second my old one-watch both and then say the turbo looks faster ;)

By the way it's suposed to be running 400bhp, tuned by holeshot racing so no cowboy job either :p

So you didnt actually build it then... I see....

THanks

at a guess I'd say not :rolleyes:
