Cooper eater

[why?]

Learning to drive it is the most important part. Garm was running about 220 hp in his estimation, and he admittedly isn't an autocross specialist. His times will get a lot better if he chooses to practice.

That is what you need to do to. Any real racing needs practice. You should prolly gut your interior first. Take everything out you don't need, including interior pieces and rear seat. You should learn to really drive, autocross helps.

If you are just talking about street racing, get the biggest turbo you can. Cash is king there, a great tune & at least 200 - 250 hp is the minimum.

And even then there is no guarantee. Who knows what mods a cooper would have.

worst advice ever, if you want to take autocross seriously.

taking out your rear seat puts you in SM, regardless of ANY of your other mods.

Class for Class/Part for Part, youll never be able to beat a Mini...The Yaris just wasnt built to do so.

Only way you can beat a Mini, is staying in H-stock, and trying to work within the rulebook to keep yourself "port-modded but stock", tidbit from Tamago...

Yet again a Mini could do the same thing, then your SOL

what needs to happen is a re-classing by the SCCA. there are far too many uncapable cars that are lumped into bottom-of-the-barrel stock class (H) and the quick cars still in HS are dominating.

want to hear a funny one? Scion tC is an HS car :wtf:
