I think 100 hp with that engine for road use will be near the limits but oh soo much fun.
100 hp for 600 kilo ... my Clio has 200 hp for 1240 kilos so that's roughly the same ratio ... WITH the exception that your Mini goes round the corners like a mad man

My friend's racing Mini develops 125 hp at +/- 8000 rpm, this combined with a racing gearbox makes it almost unusable for the streets. I once following him with an E55 AMG and had trouble to keep up.

Brings back memories of my mini clubman in the seventies---although very hot and humid in tropical singapore without air-conditioning.

This car had a 1400cc engine about 110 hp but unreliable due to immature drivers hooning around like madmen (that would be him and me). Sadly it burnt up in a typical California brush fire. Steve built up another one - green - with 1275 and 5-spd but I ca...
