hey all

i've just got myself a MCS 03 model. when i picked it up it had some mods on it. so far i've got a Magnaflow cat back exhaust, and a cold air intake. the car has been fitted with bilstein height adjustable shocks/coilovers - no idea with king springs and has noltec camberplate front and rear. now i would like some advice on whats next that i should do?

i have been doing searches and reading on the reduction pulley mod. whats involved when doing the pulley mod? do i need to change to colder spark plugs? do i need a remap of the ecu?

i have read all mixing reviews where some are saying that its not reliable running to redline n stuff..
can everyone share some opinions n views on the reduction pulley. how much would it set me back and any ideas where i can source one as im in australia, sydney. oh and which brand to go for.

thanks

Meenieme,

You've hit the ground running with your mods. I've just started to do some mods to my Mini Cooper S and have found the following suppliers very helpful:
1. Corey, who runs Euromini (web business based in Sydney);
2. GTT Tuning a UK company who ship to Australia - excellent service and advice.

Best of luck.

You may also want to pm willow07 - he's in Adelaide (well, he's in Tassie competing in Targa at the moment), but he's got access to alot of the aftermarket stuff and knows what's out there.

Also, get along to a Pirates meet up at Pie in the Sky and when you meet and greet the other MINI owners you'll get a lot more info, and have a nice drive at the same time.
