cooper s works r53 - 182?

[medici999]

would you say the works is a big upgrade on performance...etc..over the 182?

 

[Alan]

Yes..i've owned both..182 is a good car but the works is a fair step up in quality and performance..

 

[ForceIndia]

Yes. The interiors miles better, and it's much quicker. 182's got the better chassis.

 

[Addz]

on going argument! standard cars are equal, i had the cooper S, a works will have the edge on a 182

 

[Šįk]

the s works is far quicker then the 182 from figures..

 

[medici999]

ah ok, i saw a nice cooper jcw for sale with coilies etc, upgraded brakes, pushing out about 270bhp..bet that would shift!!

what about a corsa vxr?

 

[Addz]

corsa vxr's are awesome little cars, i'd say they slightly have the edge but that could be due to my mate being a bit mad in his

 

[Ian_182]

I couldnt own a cooper tbh.

 

[medici999]

and the corsa vxr's can easily get up to like 220bhp or so cant they with not too much spent.

 

[Addz]

yeah easy, i dont think 300bhp is too much of a task!

The only thing better about the 182 is it's lightness and the slightly more aggressive chassis. The Mini is only a slight setup tweak away from that though. They are far more tuneable.

 

[medici999]

what slight setup tweak on the mini will change it mate?

 

[Englebert]

Just a geometry change, a bit more camber basically. A common upgrade is adjustable rear control arms that allows a lot of adjustability. The rear suspension setup on the Mini is more advanced than the Clios.
