Check out the POWER!
 

This is my '68 998 Morris Mini on the dyno.

Thats about 17 HP btw.

Might need a few mods!

My brake master cylinder is a bit stuffed tho, so the pads are rubbing on the discs a bit and stealing some power.

My buddies 1098 put out 17.3 kW.

I'll get it dyno'd each time I do a mod and we'll see how it goes!

My lawn mower puts out almost that much power. Man..

Of course that thing doesnt weigh much more then my lawn mower either. Mod away and let us know how it goes.

need Nos..... :roll:

Xiii....

Your car is in a very bad shape... it should have more or less 38hp, not 17hp!!
It's less than half!! What's your maximum speed with that power?


I had a Cooper 1300, that had more or less 80hp, to 650kg of weight, BIG FUN!!
And those cars corner like anything else!!

Hum.. I was watching the graph... and there, your max speed was no more that 80km/h, that is more or less 50mph!!!! That is very very slow!!
I have a friend who has a mint 850cc Mini, and it goes 120km/h. Yours being a 998cc, should go faster that that. It seems that you have serious problems with that engine!

That is really pathetic!

The 998 mini has around 38HP at the flywheel when its new. Considering mine is 36 years old, I'm not all that surprised it put you 17HP at the wheels.

The fastest I've managed to get it up to is 75 MPH which is 120 KM/h. It would have had a bit more left in it, but I ran out of straight and had to brake for a hairpin :).

The top speed might be a bit higher with a different diff ratio, but probably the major factor in no top speed is the lack of aerodynamic efficiency of the mini!

put a Hayabusa motor in the back :!: :D That should get things movin

I always thought that the Polski Fiat, Trabant 601, Citroen 2CV or the Fiat

500 were the weakest cars ever..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

or just push it :wink:

Well, it sure is easy to push :).

Except for at the moment, where I have a problem with the master cylinder not letting go of the discs, so my brakes are on permanently.

Getting a new master cylinder on saturday, then I might hit some corners :).

17HP? you gotta be joking. right? :roll:

Thats impressive!! (the fact that the car can even move itself and a human occupant up to highway speed that is) lol... But i hear these things are a blast to drive! Just like go-karts!

They're like go karts except for the front wheel drive bit :).

12.7 kW still lets me smoke the tyres off the line in the dry as well!

120 km would seem fast in a mini as you sit pretty low to the ground
