Syvo, I don't know if he's told you yet, but Westy's brake are off of his car now
I've already sent him pics and negotiated a price

****** hell, are you sure you don't need a traders license?
Yeah I had a great time thanks Neil, absolutely stunning place.
How was AITP??
AITP was good, but over run by S3's, wasn't 1 tqs there. Not even mine, but mine will be at ADI, are you coming to that Zeus?
Hmm the part of the Mini being better on fuel...erm no they drink it lol. Slightly smaller tank but my mate used to get like 230miles to a tank on average. That wasnt exactly around town either. That was mainly 60mph single carriage way or motorway.
GTT are pretty good. My mate had a GTT intercooler and a GPR (i think?) induction kit and then the rest done by 1320 mini. They have a dyno there too which they do a before and after run and make sure everything is running smooth before doing anything. Kind of like the good service Rtech give but for Mini`s lol. I`d go there tbh.
Understeer in the Mini? Hmm not too much. Compared to an Audi its nonexistant lol.
The only annoying part of the Mini is the epic powersteering whine lol. Its almost as loud as the supercharger
You boys need to represent
I was never keen on it but quite liked it when i went in my mates. Depending on the colour combinations they dont look too girly. My mate had the dark grey colour with black roof and mirrors with gun metal OZ ultraleggera`s. Looked slightly less gay lol.
Tuning isnt too expensive yeah and theres plently of places that do it. To do the pully yourself you just need the tool to get the pully bolt off im sure. rest is easy enough. I`d probably still take it to 1320 to do. Aswell as being really close to me its the peace of mind it gives and also the dyno runs and health check you get. Also theres quite a cute girl that works in the office haha
Jason I've got a TQS, so I'd hope AWD with ESP would cope marginally better than the FWD mini
Syvo, I got my exhaust after my remap, they accounted for the exhaust when they did the remap and I ran it on slightly lower boost (with my SPS switch) until the exhaust was on. But if yours isn't remapped, you WILL love it even more when you get it mapped...
Chris, what's ADI? Where is it? When?
Neil, yes the Icelandic women were pretty hot haha just don't tell my missus I said that!
I would guess that my car vs a mini in the rain would leave me up the road, and the mini either bogged down by the tcs or wheelspinning towards the outer curb...
what you need the brace for? as only the s3's it attaches to the struts and a3's its just for show.

Didnt think they were attached to the struts..just already had the studs in the bodywork. Thats why you have to drill the body work in the same place and use bolts and nuts to fit one to models that dont have the studs as standard
