I take it you haven't learned how to do your shoe laces up yet then ?

Hah! cant stop laughing at that comment [rofl]

Looony, nice action, would be good to get a 2nd camera on the passanger headrest and do picture in picture so we can see what you are doing [thumbup]

Keep it up though

[vodaPlaps]

supercharger wrrrrr

i find it a little tricky to maintain the level of breaking i want without blipping the throttle too much or not enough. if you get me.

[Tryphadz]

tbth..

theres not much point with a drive by wire throttle system,well unless you have a sprint booster fitted to eradicate the pedal lag.

Yeah that would be cool wouldn't it. If I have time I might make another video.

Thanks for your comments, I'll keep practicing . . .

Yeah gotta love the whine

I know what you mean about smooth braking, its just practise . . . thats the hardest bit.

I dont have one of those, I just wanted to learn how to do it. It sounds cool too [thumbup]

[AlistDakisa]

Not too bad. Car sounds pretty nice. I take it you have the standard clutch in that then?

I hate it when people drive my impreza and don't know how to heal and toe.

[Ggskbpbz]

Did you get her past 60MPH?

[Tryphadz]

Did you get her past 60MPH?

It will whoop ur car

[Ggskbpbz]

It will whoop ur car

...in a death by accident contest.
...at a homosexual award show.
...when comparing the percentage of female drivers.

You are right.

[vodaPlaps]

a cooper s is pretty nippy, i really like them, its probably my second choice car.

what kind of MPG do you get Looony?

and throttle lag... i certainly don't get any, its crazy responsive.

Its got a Milltek cat-back exhaust on.

Yeah standard clutch, with OEM diff.....

in this video I hit 100mph, its on an airfield of course

MPG ranges from 32mpg if its ONLY motorway. But most of my driving is town / country roads so I'm getting 24.5

And I get NO throttle lag, its amazing. And the supercharger is like having an Orchestra in your car 24/7 [thumbup]

aren't they supposed tog et about 45mpg though? or is it one of the older ones? my civic is supposed to get 31, and gets 29 with a fair bit of the old vtec too.

sound-wise i don't know if i like vtec naarrrrr or supercharger wrrrrrr best

why? it's not really required for everyday driving

Mine is an 'old version' its a 2004 Supercharged, the new cooper s's (06 onwards) are turbo'd

Yeah they may SAY 45, you wont get that. If I drive like a granny I could get 35. But when you drive a Cooper S the supercharger is YELLING "drive me like a LOOONY!!"

[thumbup]

[glasscollector]

My GTO is kind of a pain in the ass to heel/toe, the pedal is hinged so if you dont get your foot right at the fulcrom point (which is low) then it doesnt really do anything

i think the older ones were only supposed to do about 33mpg anyway so not so bad. i think the newer ones could only every get 45 by driving off boost everywhere too anyway.

Must get pretty cramped in there then.

[Galsteinbok]

I don't get it. What is "Heal & Toeing" trying to accomplish exactly?

BTW I didn't know Velcro shoes were even made anymore.

You are matching the revs in a lower gear.

When you at at 5000rph in 4th, if you change to 3rd, the revs will be about 6000rpm.

So by blipping the throttle with your heel, you hit 600rpm so when 3rd engages its smooth and keeps the revs up so you can accelerate hard away.
