1st Gen R53 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: How does my Mini sound?

They probably never heard a bad ass MINI! OR...they like those big oil can exhausts that sound like wet farts!

 

I think gender stereotyping is all bullsh*t.

Drive what ever you want, I learned not to care what other people think as long as I'm happy.

 

He must think you're cute, it sounds good to me

 

judging by the burnout photo you knew the Pope was going to be picked!

 

I don't care what colour the car is as long as I'm going fast and in front!

Just as an example. I used to drive an MG midget in CA. a slow car but really fun to drive. I drove it flat out everywhere. Anyway there was a Camaro drag racer look alike at the traffic lights with a girl at the guys side. I came blasting up to the lights knowing they will be on green as I get to the white line. The dude saw me coming and floored it but it was too late he was out dragged my a tiny little MG. hahaha he actually chased me to run me off the road as I imagine he was pissed. Even when I took a side street he followed until he got bored because he had to slow down for the corners. Midget 1 Camaro 0

 

Never leaked oil? You musta been dry.:wink: Mine leaked like a sieve. Self changing, every once in a while I changed the filter & called it good. Mine was a great car & never left me stranded. I was always able to effect a roadside repair. :biggrin5: Man these modern cars, unless you are out of gas or have a flat you ain't gonna fix them on the side of the road. AAA+ FTW! :yesnod:

 

He's just jealous his Prius doesn't sound like your MINI.

 

:cornut: MINI sounds great; you must be a FOX!

As an MG owner, truth be told many times those trying to keep up had problems with the oil I was dumping on the road. :wink:

 

You know what they say Chuck...when a British car is not leaking oil , it's out of oil! I built my MG with speacial seals from a bearing supplier. Never leaked or had electrical issues.

 

sounded good with the windows up. sounded like wind noise with them down. weird. i've heard many more "ricey" exhausts. it doesn't sound like a weed-eater that needs a carb rebuild. if you like the sound and can deal with a little flirting, i'd say it is a keeper.

 

Sounds good to me.

 

I'm super picky on exhaust sound tuning. I've spent hours swapping mufflers until I get the correct sound. I like the flat out sound you have but the slow stuff driving at low speeds sounds like there's a hole in the system with all that popping and farting. Do you have a rear muffler? if so you might need to add a small one in the center. How's the Suzuki sound?

 

If you want to hear how bad some cars sound listen to the rally cars in Costa Rica. Mine is the quiet one right at the end of the video. Your car sounds way better!
