Biscuits Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Cool car ! If we didn't need to trade the Golf in for a bigger 'family' car, I'd defiantly get a CooperS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Nice one Sam. MUST get it chipped though to give it the torque and power it deserves to haul the stupidly tall gearing. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian [/ QUOTE ] The Cooper S doesn't get much from a chip unfortunately (5-10 bhp) but you can get a smaller diameter S/C Pulley which (at 15% reduction) gives about 20bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoBabe Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 It's all been noted - and sorry ian have to agree with drill - definately a smaller pulley is the way forward... but won't be touching it for a while as will be a massive difference from a 1litre! which infact ive had an offer on!! oh yes its definately not a MINI - my lil BINI... 100% BMW lol... but it's all cool - i couldn't find a better supermini or hatch that i wanted! or infact that was better! always said id only sell the lupo if i found a car that i wanted... for years ive been looking at other cars... like the cupra r... golf and polo gti... but none have made me say yeah i'll sell the lupo for this... boyfriend brings home a mini cooper... (baring in mind 8 of my school mates had mini one's as their first cars) i fell in love with it... after previously hating them... and that night i decided to sell the lupo... 1month down the line... and ive bought a new car dont mess about me!

Drillslinger Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'm just giving you a hard time (like you gave ME ). To be honest, DB (Drill Bit, our MINI ) is actually more fun to drive than the A3 was (and we all know how much I loved (and miss) the TQ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
