Alta v2 17% reduction Pulley
GRS TMIC - chargecooler en-route
RMW "Jesus" head
Newman / 1320 camshaft
RMW 440cc injectors
Janspeed Header + high flow cat
NGK Heat Range 8 (2 steps colder) Spark Plugs
Stock Cat Back
Christune - 1320mini remap
Chassis
IE Fixed Camber Plates
M7 Coilovers
GTT Spiroslots with EBC Yellow stuff Pads (at present)
Stock R56 Cooper S calipers, Nitrac frozen solid discs, carbotech xp8 pads (calipers here, rest on order)
BBS RC rims ET42 with 215/40 17 Hankook v12 evo's
Eibach 5mm spacer on the front
Exterior
Alta 4" stubby aerial
Bonnet Stripes Removed
Spot Lights Removed
De-badged Cooper S from 'trunk'
De-stickered aero decals from rear bumer
and the obligatory dyno sheet to back up the thread title claim, please note the numbers are at the hubs

I hate it, and you. and no I'm not jealous. Not at all. Yuk.Actually it's very nice, but I find it funny that the Rolling Road operator prints out a certificate of performance, rather than 'Power/Torque Delivery Graph' Just the wording smacks of spin.
Nice car though.
It copes off the line really well actually, obviously if you are on/off switch with the accelarater then it will wheel spin in first, and in the wet it will in second & occasionally 3rd, but the traction is really very good and its rare that I get wheel spin unless trying to.
As for reliability, the mini's bottom end is more than proven to tolerate such power levels with ease, there are a few that have been running similar pwer levels for ages.
The graph above is at a different place from my tuners, the day the car was tuned it was a hot day, and seeing as the mini's intercooler is in THAT position, inlet temps were getting too high and the car was pulling timing. The dyno above was done on a rototest which measures the hub power at set points throughout the rev range, I guess that the flat spot is due to it starting to temp clip / pull timing.
p.s. I dont do the traffic light grand prix

Tickled by your attention to detail in removing numbers from your reg number, then leaving them on the test sheet!!!!
Good result though.
So was I! Good result though.
I also like the way it looks with all the crap like spots and stripes removed - it's pretty rare to see a Mini with none of this stuff on, and it looks all the better for it, IMHO. Ignoring all arguments about the merits of old Mini Vs new Mini, the Bini is a pretty nice shape..
Good wheels too!

yes it does / has suprised a few people... slightly quicker than a friends remapped r26 - he has me in the mid range but top end of the revs I'm quicker. i.e. pulling out of slow 2nd gear corners he gets the jump. Similar story with a friends revo'd s3 (latest shape), pretty much the same up to 3 figures then he starts to pull slowly.I'm happy with it but there are some things in the future pipe-line that will make me happier
