You're doing 210 > 225 yes? Is that £1,500? I'm all for your comments on Tuesday. Bet it's p.s. It's a bit quiet in this New Mini forum eh?

Yep thats the one !
Plus weve gone for uprated suspension and strut brance.

Then the 265 goal !

Want to meet for a 'compare and contrast' session?... Just in case you can't remember what a 'standard' 210 JCW feels like I'll let you know how the hooligan handles around Brands soon, got a track day booked for Friday... Wonder if I'll be able to make it up the hill to Druids with only 210bhp?

You Have Mail Nath.

Car has now gone in for the conversion .
Two days before we get her back and we can't wait !
JCW are quality
Excellent customer service.
Having a new flywheel installed as well to give an extra 8 Bhp.
Should be fun when she comes back !

If anyone's interested email me for the clip / link.

Cheers.
