Doc, I'm curious to know that with the set up you have, any idea what your 1/4 mile time would be?

Cheers

Mikal

Sorry, I have no idea, because it also depends on gearing/diff ratio/tyre size/tyre choice/traction/driver ability.

One member here [Lillee] did a 15.4 some years ago with a 1310cc Mini K, Mk2 S gearbox, 3.44 diff, RE13 cam, 1.5 rockers, 45 Dellorto, motor made 119.7HP at flywheel on GR's dyno.
My car has a few more HP but and a shorter diff but I've never dragged it.
YMMV.

A stock Oz Cooper S was good for about a 17.8-18.0 1/4 mile time.

Interesting Doc, what does YMMV mean and do you think a 3.7 diff would make a lot of difference? My query is all about a bet with a mate, as you do. I thought a highly tuned 1275 was capable of high 14's and he disagrees haha! I'm guessing GR's car would do it comfortably but not a road car...

Merry Xmas everyone

A few of us went to Sydney Dragway earlier this year with Minis. The quickest road mini did a 15 sec flat. So I'd say high 14 sec is quite possible.

Chux has come very close to breaking 15 sec

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

YMMV- Your Mileage May Vary.

I have a slab of his choice riding on this! He's a Ford man by the way pah!

Chux will do it in 2016 I reckon. I only managed a 16.4 but it was my first time.

Two Group N Historic Cooper S racers did mid-14 second quarters at last November's Geelong Revival sprints. Having an LSD helps heaps with getting off the line smartly. My road-going Grp Nb S has done a 15.1 and this year I ran my Mini Marcos with a warm 1310, no lsd, standard S gearbox with a 3.1:1 final drive and clocked 15.5.

Thanks Curly, that's good news but I'm guessing they weren't street legal? That'll disqualify me!
