Hi again Ped. In the end I didn't get the roadster (as I was relieved of my "so-called" duties in the middle east) so I bought an 08 "S" JCW tuning kit Hatch. I like it more than the TTS I owned even though it is a quarter of the price.

I have an R56 S '07 and what you have here is not a heavy modified car. Everything it's almost tried and tested bolt-on upgrades. That's the best part of tuning this things: you can go easy from 175 to 250 Hp with more or less just upgrades to turbo (with the jcw one) decat downpipe and a manic map. No heavy modification needed...you can rebuild the engine to go over that or just be sure to have a fresh base motor, but the standard pistons and rods are well proven to last up to 260hp if not too old. ...and what about that srs lamps on the dasboard? ;-)

Fantastic video. So much fun. Well done.

Awesome MINI ! Grip levels seem to be a lot higher with a diff, I think that along with a new clutch will be my next move. Just read about the MINI's take over Goodwood, always wanted to go visit Goodwood. Just one question, how do you think the weather is gonna be, since it's in December? Never been to the UK. Just recently got a big brake kit and now my winter wheels don't fit :/. Should I risk going with Summer tires ? Greetings from Cologne, Germany Fabian.

@PetrolPed

7 жыл бұрын

Hi Fabian. There is clearly a struggle for grip when you put that much power through the front wheels but the diff makes a big difference and if you feed the power in carefully there is loads of grip. It would be great to see you at Goodwood in December. I am no weather man, so it may well rain on the day. Let's hope not though and it must be said that Goodwood does sit in an area known for having it's own little micro climate so let's keep our fingers crossed. I will be on standard summer tyres as I suspect most of the other cars on track will be. In fact some of the cars will probably have sticky track focused rubber. You should be fine. Anything worse than rain, like ice or snow, and we wouldn't be allowed on track anyway. Come and say hi on the day ;-)
