Once I get out of school next year, I want to do either a full turbo setup or twincharge it (turbo + sc). Either way, I am looking anywhere between 400-450 whp which would be very fun in a mini.

Hell yeah, that'd be tons of fun. Torque steer like a mofo!

Where do you go to school?

Yeah, plenty of that! Not as much as a lot of FWD cars, Minis have equal length drive shafts that really cut that junk down!
Radford, you? I'm from roanoke though.

That's nice, when the diff is off-center, then torque steer is awful. heh

I go to Roanoke College. I was wondering what you were doing on 419 if you were from Radford, I figured you must be from around here then.

Ended up with a much better tone and probably a hp or 2, for under $50 bucks!
Sounds good to me!

Not sure what happened in that wreck, I mean the speed limit right there is 35!!!

I did the exact same thing to my mini.
