Great video concept but far too late on the gear changes, could have cut a second off the times if changed at correct time, as for the R53😊 I miss mine so much, the whine from the supercharger and just the right amount of note from the exhaust was pure music 🥰
@@blackfrost273industries4 I just got a stage 2 tune in my R56 Mini + downpipe and straight piped the car. Gains are amazing and the car is a blast. Still need to test it against my 98 camaro V8 for a firm conclusion but loved the power on that pocket hatch.
R53 ist generally more reliable and has all of its issues well known, for R56 i only know you should try to get ur hands on the facelift rather than the more flawed prefacelift r56
@@kx250fforlife thanks ! It’s been n front end service mode, the day after I got it. Coolant was everywhere ! So going through everything and refreshing it. Hope your new ride treats you well
@@jackbender4885 yeah I'm picking up a new intercooler. Some folks say that for the turbo I'm getting the stock one is fine but honestly I don't think the stock one is good enough even for the stock Turbo lol. The Abarth has the same issues with the intercooler being insufficient for the turbo
Steady start not flooring it, then should change up fairly quickly, thats how I used to drive my F56. Never went anywhere near the red line, not really much point, it didnt shorten my journey times and burnt more petrol in the process but got me up the hills or past someone that was a bit slower if needed. If cars wanted to go faster than me, I just let them. I never needed to get to 60mph as quick as possible.
@@zdenekleitner6312 This guy is so wrong I'm genuinely embarrassed on their behalf tbh. Shift at 4RPM lmfao, imagine thinking you're driving flat out and then you shift at 4k.
Ahh! I understand exactly what you mean. Maybe shift at 6500 rpm so the next gear hits that nice snug torque spot to pull you back up the rpms 👏 I've don't this before, keep the shifts in the chunkiest powerband.
Lmao you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Shift at 4K RPM where you're making like 120BHP because the torque is like 20NM higher than it is at 6700RPM where peak power is? Please, do yourself a favour and educate yourself a bit. When you do, you'll be embarrassed at how wrong you were.
Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed the video! Which one did you prefer?
Also, let me know if you have any suggestions !
Love that supercharger noise❤
It makes everything 🔥🔥

R53 all day long
Indeed
Why so?
@@blackfrost273industries4 supercharged 1.6 are just the best
@@ozzyprod9332 I've been hearing people say r56 is more reliable, and more power capable. I seriously doubt that. Fan bois. I meant to spell it wrong.

Mini r53 supercharged 😍
How did the f56 acceeration time go from 6.23 to 7s just curious lol
6.2 is jcw f56, 6.8 is cooper s f56
My r53 is totally stock . I get 6.9 seconds 0-60 . I think the reason is the cold air in Scotland ? Should be 7.1 as per manual . No reduced pulley .
60 mph is around 96 kmh thats why
@@nicolondiongo4221 EH ? lol
0-60 and 0-100 are different
@@ali94hn Your saying miles per hour and kilometres per hour are the same thing
@@nicolondiongo4221 ok why does it say in background of the speedo as being the same ?
Nice, but i did 6.2 with Clubman S from 2013 and good summer tires. Otherwise you have crazy Wheelspin as frontdrive.
6.2 is a really good time ! But yeah with those fwd cars you really need good tires
You need the LSD option in the R56.
I’m in the market for either a r53 or r56, Any recommendations for performance and reliability?
R53 ist generally more reliable and has all of its issues well known, for R56 i only know you should try to get ur hands on the facelift rather than the more flawed prefacelift r56
I recommend a supercharged mini r53 or r52 they are quite reliable
Pick up an r53 tomorrow 😎
Good luck, mine was always broken. Just bought an r56 last week, lowered, wheels, front mount, cold air intake, exhaust and blow off valve.

Just got a big turbo for my R56, can't wait.
Make sure you have some beefy cooling setup or else ur engine is not gonna like that new turbskie

@@CjArt78 maybe a new rad too
@@CjArt78 yeah I wouldn’t hesitate to spend a shit ton on supporting stuff. I’ve got a base and it like thermal throttles all the time lol
@@jackbender4885 I have a 2008 Cooper s and so far I haven't had any heat issues that I hear some other people complaining about.
Next Lancer evo❤️
Mein Cooper S r53 4.9 sec 👌👍👍 296PS
where is the 184hp mini from round 2012?
they had a little but other engine as the 2007 types
the restyling of the r53 had to be better. has a shorter gearbox is better acceleration

F56 can do better than 7.
R56 yo e parado el cronometro en 6,15
Hurts me soul to watch that r53 shift on the redline when her max torque is at 4000 rpm 😅
so you think one should shift into higher gear at 4k rpm? Lol
You, maybe the max torque is there, but the max power? not even close.
@@zdenekleitner6312 This guy is so wrong I'm genuinely embarrassed on their behalf tbh. Shift at 4RPM lmfao, imagine thinking you're driving flat out and then you shift at 4k.
Max torque is not max power. Power is what gets you from A to B.
Redline is more or less where you shift if you're driving for maximum performance. I don't mean to be mean, but learn how to drive.
Ahh! I understand exactly what you mean. Maybe shift at 6500 rpm so the next gear hits that nice snug torque spot to pull you back up the rpms 👏 I've don't this before, keep the shifts in the chunkiest powerband.
R53>
Why are you stop
Why are you stoo
Forever always slow……
What you expect 🤣🤣
The cars are not over 200 hp so I guess that's normal.. but they are still fun to drive !
The S......0-60 about 7s.......it real real real fast car hahaha
@@user-nh9zj7us6i A fun car isn't necessarly fast, many fun cars are way slower than that like the saxo vts, 106 s16 and so on
@@maximedupuis3073 😂
Hurts my soul to see people shift at redline instead of at max torque and burn the clutch a little ...speacialy the first r53 supercharger 🥲

Your answer goes here
Hurts my soul to see people write the exact same comment twice especially when they have only half a clue about torque and power.
