MINI R56 JCW

[alfboden]

Hopefully picking up my new JCW this week, had an R56 MCS previously and I've wanted one of these for a while;



Hopefully do a few tweaks to it over the next year or so. Great fun on the test drive and the noise is epic.

If you alter anything, maybe consider speaking to 1320 just to put you in touch with the guy they work with for WinOls mapping. When I was there in January, there was one there that got some really good gains from an accurate map alone if I recall. Maybe save and deal with the engine internals before much else, just to strengthen as they're vulnerable on that engine if you hike the power. Nice car, they look good with the red top don't they.

The engines and turbo are pretty tough, it'll need a de coke. I'll take it to Lohen for that. Just trying to get quotes to have Bilstein B12 suspension fitted at the moment.

Hopefully an Akrapovic 100 cell downpipe after that.
