We're done!

Well this is my final post... I have done alot to my little mini... to show to all mini kind what is capable on an extreme level to know that on a small level it would be easy....

Today I made 593.5 WHP...... on boost alone....

it's not as complicated as some would think... I just bolt stuff on and it works :P ...ok not exactly...

I'm done... Thanks to all who have supported my crazyness.... even to those who thought it not possible... you pushed me to succeed....

the sound.... the smell..... the feel.... the taste....

593.5..... mmmmm it's deeeelicious.....

thats absolutley insane.
a quote on the Bugatti Veyron

"It's either a very cheap land rocket, or a very expspensive 2 person defibrilator."

Could this be used to describe your MINI now as well???

HOLY CRAP! That is rediculous man! How in the world did you achieve that? Especially WHP. What has the regular HP numbers?

Oh, and we need a video btw.

And are you leaving the forums and selling the MINI? Or just done with modding (since obviously there's no more to go!)? I would really hate to see you leave man.

In a world where friction was infinite...

Alternatively it would make a great rubber -> smoke converter!!

Nice numbers, Tuls.

593wHP approximates 673cHP, which approximates 68.7lb/min of airflow



Sooo.... you'd need about 42 PSI of boost to obtain this figure



Alright, now you're insane

You gotta keep posting, maybe you're done in the Performance section so you don't feel the need to mod anymore.

Video?

Where does it land on the offical weeeeee factor scale?

How many HP is the butt dyno clocking!

Oh yeah, congrats on doing what was so commonly thought of as impossible, you want to join me in reaching 200? You know you want to...

Common lets hear how fun it is!
