Hehe!
Apparantly there are only around 5 road cars with it done !
for your comments on Tuesday. Bet it's 
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?

Having a new flywheel installed as well to give an extra 8 Bhp.
Should be fun when she comes back !

, and I drive a Cerbera! A very impressive conversion on a good looking car
Davislove,
The Mini Cooper S Convertible above that Cyclone1 is talking about is my car (wife's to be honest); it's nippy now after the GTT 230 conversion and is now the car the Mini Cooper S should always have been, FUN!
To be truthful the car is a Convertible so it's a bit porky, somewhere underneath it will have the equivalent of a couple of steel girders to stop it from flexing and it's full of hydraulic motors Etc.
I recon if you placed Non convertible a works 225 at the side of my car and had a drag race the works 225 would probably win because it's lighter, the fact that I weigh 16 Stone does not help either. Thinking about it though I would fancy my chances against a Works 225 Convertible but because it's an aftermarket conversion I have to be carefull that I don't break it.
Ps, My wife and I are going on the French BMW Mini Champagne Reims Tour booked through Continental Car Tours(01304 380244), this is on the 8th, 9th and 10th April, 19 other mini's have booked to date, any other takers?
