What sort of 1/4 mile time does a standard 5 dr turbo do?

mrgtr

depends on the driver, and how he launches the car. your lookin at about 14.5sec though at this time of year(air temp etc)

My near standard uk MY97 with back box and centre got a 13.7 when i first got it last june.

sulli, my good friend you saved me starting my own thread. today i had the joy of paceing my scooby against the best that the mini world could offer at Avon park in stratford. it was a scorching hot day so not ideal, and the first time i have ever run in this sort of event!

well the scoob out of three runs did : 13.24, 13.29, 13.09 !

hopefully that was quite good as i managed to beat an Z3 coupe thingy running 331bhp! and anialated two other scoobies.....

not bad for what i think is a standard 5 type r with a HKS de cat?

anyway, hows the zorst sulli?

I have run there too Dave in the past. Sound like pretty good times there.

The exhaust is killing me to be honest mate. I have spent 75 quid on petrol in the last week, compared to around 25 p/week usual, due solely to blatting around just for the shear pleasure of it Apart from that though, lovin it - but the brakes are next on my list after a race from Macro, all the way down to sky blue island ended up with smokey brakes and a brown pant moment where I thought they were gonna fail me:O

So when are you popping in for a cuppa?

floppy dave

should be soon matey, on nites at the mo , avon park was great, never done it b4 and wasnt expecting great times 4 a beginner, but hay i suprised myself! there were some killer minis tho, one ran a high ten!!!!!!!

i rekon with slicks and a cool day i should be lookin at 12.7, it was far too hot today! great fun tho? the lad with the beemer was gutted he thought he was the daddy till then lol
