Wait until you can get an S or JCW- won't really be noticeable in a one.

i'd say google search "Lohen Mini"

if you have the money to spend they can really improve your car's performance, Bluefin chips, straigh thru's 4-2-1's etc a lot of track day gear too.

hi guys. just wanted to mention my remap
i have a factory jcw 2009
bolted on a forge intercooler
itg panel filter
samco silicone turbo hoese.
samco delete resonator pipe

and then i took it to my trusted friends at RED DOT RACING in enfeild. north london. this is the forth car i took to them. prevoius 3 being, mondeo 2004 tdci mapped to=180bhp
mazda 626 td mapped to 130bhp and peugeout 307 hdi 110 mapped to 144bhp

they are very reputable and soo good at what they do
custom remap
rolling road dyno first
uploading of current ecu parameters
and then looking at the condtion, service and upgrades of the car, they then map it.

they mapped it and put it on the rolling road again
261.2 bhp!
and its wonderful. the pull is just amazing.
im sure the guys at evolve and p-torque do a similar job,
but i just wanted to share my experince with you guys, as they are not the only tuners for your mini.
they charged me £250. but i had to drive down from manchester.
well worth the day out tho!
