well my dad was driving, but my mini went 95 when she was a standard 998cc but she was screaming and prob would have gone BANG if pushed her much more! now with a few little modifications 
(stage 1 head and a other goodies!) she goes 100 without pushing her so i hope she is capable of 110 
what have u got?
lol my top speed is an impressive 73mph *cough*… well it is standard.
What sort of bhp is your mini running with the new head? How much it cost?
About 105 out of my stage one 998, but thats a guess as its off the clock…on a runway of course :fear:
115-120 (speedo only goes up2 90!) preeetty easy out of my 1425, will try harder on a track!
I have got a GPS, ready to clock WHATEVER I can get out of my 998. On a track, of course. If anyone wants to borrow it at any of the meets I get to, just ask
*cough, cough* :fear:
*amended for nasty typo, I meant CLOCK*
> lol my top speed is an impressive 73mph *cough*… well it is standard.

i havent got a clue what BHP it is now, but there is an impressive difference! i got it for cheap as it was my m8s he cleaned it, ported and polished it and fitted it, well i did it but he showed me what 2 do so that i learnt how it all works
all for £100 cant get better than that
my advise would be not 2 bother with stage one KITS but 2 get a stage 1 head and 2" bore exhaust system etc.
LOL, my speedo is in km’s so never attempt to convert when drivin!!!
(the previous owner stuck it over the top!!! )
and gets jammed when hits 60mph so dunno beyond that lol!!!
iv had 94mph out of my 1275i !!!
was impressed!
my cooper sits easy at 90 without strugglin, bit scared topush it to be honest, but reckon had 96 outta it
90 ish in my stage 1 998cc. Floors, doors, steering wheel and me shaking!!!
i got 80 but the traffic lights turned red and there was a loud screaching sound and a LOT of smoke :fear:
(FROM THE TYRES) just thought i’d clear that up
On a private road i had my old 998 at “p” of MPH
my stage 1 998 did just about 100mph. felt stable enough just the engine didnt have enough grunt to go a lil bit more!
got 115 out of my MPI, off the clock!! but i suspect my speedo is slightly out!!
Or is this about correct for a midly tuned MPI!?
we have got sarahs 998 almost to the fuel gauge
and my cooper up to 110
Still pullign hard at an indicated 135mph (10% over-read due to wheel size, so actualy around 120) lifted off as it was too skary. :saywhat:
1600 k-series mini
Std 998 and 1098 both topped out around 90 ish.
998 with a 12G940 head Stage 1 kit, tweaked dizzy(mech advance increased) + reprofiled needle to suit, could reach the fuel gauge on a 90mph speedo in top screaming its little head off
1380, low compression forged pistons (was intending to turbo..) MG head, 266 cam, metro economy drop gears, 3.1FD could pull to a comfortable 110mph but ran out of puff here due to the looong gearing lovely for motorway cruising though.
Err look at my avatar that speed and a picture, on a track of course…
My mate has clocked me at 105 downhill, standard 998.
But 1275 attempting to go in 2moro YAY!!!
Got 120mph outa my cooper s…once!!! (probably downhill too!!)
since change of exhaust to twin DTM lucky to push it up to 105mph…but then - I really dont want to go much faster than that in a mini… :erm:
Oh - and about 95mph when Jake Blues is in the car :fear:
When I had my Stage 4 1000 running, my friend followed me back (in his Deawoo Nexia lol) from Milton Keynes on the M1 and coming in to Northampton he clocked me at 122mph. It was on the redline so I new I was chipping along.
When I checked that graph on the Rugby mini owners club section recently, it worked out that I was actually doing 121.lol Not suprising the gudgen pin fell out one of the rods really was it.
around 75 downhill with wind behind me.
