I've got the stock tyres on mine (155/80 r12) with a 3.65 & stock 1100s motor, and it's pretty damn zippy. Still easily whips rathcooles 1100 with 1098 & 4.26.

When the aus div brought out the 1100S it had a 3.76 - they should have kept it that way!

Cheers

Jacob

I think they picked the best model to try it on, with 74 lb.ft of torque to help it along. They were almost Cooper S spec.

i was running 13 inch wheels and a 2.9 diff, lucky i had the hp to make this car run nice , sits on hwy like a dream and goes up hills without to much fuss as well, why do u all want to rev thru each gear in 2 seconds and hit top speed by 200 mtr mark anyway on a daily driver i will never know.

OI! watchit you!

But yeah, a std 1098/4.2 combo isnt exactly startling, it does get me to work and back every day with a smile tho! Its all about maintaining momentum....
