That Was CLOSE!! Sent R53 Mini Too Hard & MisShifted :( // Nürburgring

[@birelboy1]

The guy got some energy. He had a great time in there.

Of course, r53 makes the biggest smile

[@2K8Si]

That was a proper thrashing... Whew. The front facing camera seemed a little more shaky than normal, but it made it visually more exciting. Those poor those tires were being asked for more than they can provide... they were howling around almost every corner, and I loved it every time. Excellent video!

[@FoxZon]

I will never forget about the pads (9:16). Literally he could not speak! That was intense! 💪

[@realMaverickBuckley]

I think Misha was grateful for him to shut up for 7 seconds.

[@jplin888]

Wow that mini is fast. Well done to the owner. Great job! Misha, thanks for sharing. Cheers!

R53 with the compressor was the best and so much more reliable than the thp

Mischa doesnt give a sh**, drive it like you stole it. Hell yeah

That one was really fun! Well done Micha, well done Mini owner. Loved watching this!

[@albertoceccaroli9455]

Nurburgring is special exactly for this kind os situation. Where if you like cars and stuff and you go there it will be the best time of your life and you'll remember for ever like the glorification of your passion making you smile like a baby and enjoying every single moment of that lap. The magic is not just the track but the environment in which you get it's so friendly and warm where you can easily come to anyone in the parcking and talk freely like you where long time friend about their and your car.

[@MrStlvette]

That is one fast Mini. I’m glad the owner enjoyed the lap, I did! Thanks Misha for another thrilling ride.

[@Organic_Speed]

The mini platform especially the R53 are so raw and fun to drive. like a street legal go cart. Misha if you ever do a budget hot hatch build for the channel id love to see what you could do to dial in a mini for the track. proper upgraded supercharger pully and a tune would give you plenty of power to dance with on the track. just a thought!

[@711liljay]

Looked like great fun. One car I miss owning is my r53 Cooper s race chipped with a small supercharger pulley and oversize intercooler. 2 years running I took that car to the ring. 1st year as standard. 2nd year all done up. Only got rid because of kids and the boot would only hold 2 helmets and nothing else would fit

[@batousan_]

Seems like nothing has moved forward since I was last in the Mini game 10+ years ago, surprised people still fitting 17% reduction pulleys and still hitting knock/intake temp limits like the brummies did back then because "want muh low down torque bocz bruised ego on the road". Great till about 90mph then flat after as the ECU pulls all the fun. If you are tracking it mostly, ported head, bigger valves, springs etc, more compression (high comp pistons) cams and adjustable gear and run an 11-13% reduced pulley max if you need it is the way to go. Mess around with overlap on the dyno until its where you want the power band (for me it was 4.5 to 7.8k). Dont mess around with meth injection, waste of time/money and dangerous on a car if you stack it and mapping for meth is a engine blow waiting to happen (the geezer I sold mine to fitted meth and a 17% and toasted the engine by mapping for meth and running out of it lol). Spend the money on a Link G4X instead, bin the oem ecu and get an oil temp sensor plumbed in (had one on my setup). Chassis is capable af and the car looks to handle nice so just focus on keeping the power you can make without high temps and spend your money in the driving seat (advice from 2010-2013) 😅

[@peted2770]

Sometimes, you just want the passenger to close their mouth and let Misha drive.

[@samuelgomez3311]

Trying to break that little thing... But is almost impossible, the mini holds the hard treat like nothing. Different sound too. Good lap anyways

[@kanaric]

wow this guy turned this into a proper build, respect for him

[@anto687]

Was expecting this much further down the line good to see him back after your consultancy :D

[@RasoulMojtahedzadeh]

I like this setup but for my taste I'll go with a bit more power and torque ❤

[@The_BenboBaggins]

I think matey should vent the bonnet some more - the supercharger is awesome, but generates a huge amount of heat in the engine bay!

[@kiritoodomoru]

maybe in the straight this car is slow but, it can carry much momentum for much more cornering speed, thats sick

[@radspiderjackson]

did misha even use the brakes in this tho? flat out the whole way thru lol

[@omg_stoppit]

That scoop is increasing the pressure in the engine bay and therefore making the radiator less effective. If the pressure behind the radiator is greater than in front of the radiator, or the pressure behind the radiator increases at all, no or less air will travel through the radiator. The goal is to evacuate air from the engine bay through the hood in order to reduce nose lift and promote better cooling. Adding scoops is often counterintuitive and will lead to overheating. Manufacturers who design scoops do so with those concepts in mind to prevent overheating.

[@andyossie]

At least face it the other way around I reckon

[@omg_stoppit]

@@andyossie still won’t work that well. Ideally you want louvres so the air traveling over the hood creates a “vacuum” effect where it meets the air escaping from the hood vent. You want those streams to mix for maximum efficiency. You also want them to meet with laminar flow to reduce turbulence/drag.

[@Diastro3D]

The kind of comment i like. Thanks for the nugget of knowledge!

[@sheldonaubut]

@omg_stoppit -- When the bonnet is opened near the end of the video, it looks like the air intake is directly under the scoop and seals against it. I could be wrong, but that would mean it has nothing to do with high/low pressure through radiator.

[@omg_stoppit]

@@sheldonaubut ah, didn’t see that part. However, given the design, if that’s the only channel for air to enter the intake, then it’ll work. If it’s a secondary hole for “additional cooling”, it effectively creates the same problem.

[@doobiousdan]
