questiooon..

so I havnt really studied the classic minis that much.

what are all the different types? names and stuch?
and which one is the fastest, slowests exc.

 

a) Watch the original Italian Job! (ok - you won't learn anything, but it's fun)

b) http://www.outmotoring.com/mini_history.html

c) http://www.mini-maniac.com/history.html

d) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Cooper

 

There's too much info to answer your question in this space. After all, they made 5.4 Million Minis....

what's the fastest Mini? The one someone spent the most money on.... $$$$$$$ = speed The faster you make it, the less reliable it is unless you insert a VTEC. An A-series can make 120+ HP

what's the slowest, conversely a stock 850 cc Mini

Mini ERA Turbo
I wonder if any are around

 

Well in short on body style alone there is

Saloon:
Wagon:
Truck:
Wolsley Hornet/Riley Elf:
Moke:
Van:

Not to mention the clubman front as well as the variations on the roof.

Here is a fun site with some stock, some modded http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/mini.html

 

I am fitting a 1275 MG metro turbo engine (essentially what is in the ERA) this week. It is a slightly modified setup an should put out around 140WHP or so. Check out www.turbominis.co.uk for more on the turbos. I think some on there are running close to 200hp with the A series. Fun!

 

I have seen a turbo running. Impressive amount of power to be sure.

Hey that's one of my photos. The 2nd picture in your post I shot in Boerne, Tx. The Estate Wagon belongs to Bruce Kennedy of Mini Owners of Texas (MOT).
