A very much improved and linear torque and power curve, great job by the crew at Lohen. Easy to see how this improves the driving dynamic across the range. I bet Will is thrilled with the end result. Personally, I'd need that valve control, pops and bangs has its place but not constant in any given driving mode. Was the broken wire fixed? Keep up the good work Damian.

If you put it in green mode you don’t get the pops. The wire was not fixed yet so it’s still loud especially on cold start. Will seemed very happy with the car which is not surprising lol.

That's perhaps my point, you might want the performance of Sport mode and be discreet. The wire fix might reduce it somewhat.

It should do as it’s at 75% max volume so closed it will be a lot quieter

The car is booked in for its first MOT at the end of December, the broken wire will be looked at then - I’d love to report on my experience with the car since its Lohen attention but I’m not currently in the country and have been able to drive it ONCE since Damian returned the car home

Lohen are a very good and respected company, very nice people too. I went there a few months ago for a stage 2 tune on my cooper s, 268hp/350nm torque on an r56 Cooper s! I was really happy and they did have a really good service. This jcw clubman is a beast!

They have a nice setup there and seem really professional and even though they had a couple of issues resolved them. The shop was shut due to covid restrictions so would have liked a look around there but a nice comfortable seating area and a food can around the corner 😂🍔🍔

Looks like they did an amazing job! Love the sound of the exhaust

I bet you cannot get enough of driving it again, a cheap way of having what feels like a new faster car

I drove a JCW with a sports open gate exhaust through the town centre and popped it. You should have seen everyone duck as they thought someone was shooting 😂😂😂 Proper ASBO vehicle 🚗 Love & hate it at the same time 😂

lol. I think the latest mini video is louder but in a good way , pro exhaust , akrapovic down pipe and decat 😜.

did you measure the acceleration on the map? 0-100, 0-200km / h?

Afraid not it went from that’s fast to ahhhhh that’s really fast 😂

Great result! Is it actually any quicker to 60mph? Or just better power delivery? Also, you’ve got your seat belt twisted again!! It’s an OCD thing I have !🤯🤣 noticed it a lot on your vids!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I did not time it but it feels quicker and mid range is a lot quicker. The fact the torque curve is flatter makes all the difference and it just picks up with virtually no lag. Sorry about the seat belt but I’m impressed you have been watching other videos. when I get the next car will make sure it’s straight 😀

@@DamoDrives 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the seat belt OCD occurs when my kids don’t put them straight as well! Was the pre Lohen map done by a “cheap” remapper?! The dyno print out really does show how smooth the power is delivered now.. bet the neighbours “love” sport mode!🤣👍🏻

It’s a friend of mines car so not sure of the original map cost but certainly not the same level as Lohen. They did explain some other companies will have that sharpe increase in torque just to hit the highest number possible but it does not really give the true nature of the car. hope showing the graphs was helpful along with my explanation
