Thank God thats over then.
Lets all take a chill pill and not get sidetracked tit for tat. Andrew sounds passionate and convincing, but lets remember that if someone says something, even if it is out of ignorance, that they are not personally having a go at anyone. Its their opinion, thats all.

No need for name calling like calling someone stupid. I believe that in this forum its not the right thing to do.

Actually an R50 Mini Cooper!!! All up cost was under $1500. Not sure if it will fit an R56 tho.

Finally plucked up the courage and installed that reduced pulley that's been sitting on my study shelf for the last six months. Here's the list of parts installed:
1. Alta Boost Couplers;
2. NGK BKR7EIX iridium plugs;
3. Alta V2 -15% pulley;
4. JCW pulley belt;
5. GTT Tensioner Limit Stop.
Car is now making somewhere between 15.5 and 16 PSI of boost

Nice work Darrin.

Darrin · Mar 11th, 2008, 10:15 AM

Thanks Steve,

Wasn't all smooth sailing, stripped my $22.00 supercheap auto crow foot puller trying to get the OEM pulley off. Had to fork out $92.00 for a super dooper heat treated jobby - but she worked a treat!

Cheers
Darrin

Forge radiator header tank...

More bling! Oooh, I see lots of expensive little JCW badges under there. I only have two - one on each of the front floor mats.

Must post pics soon of my saddle bag (genuine MINI) and leather door pull covers (Moss Mini). And I have a new clutch too, so just past 150km and no problems. Let's hope I get past the magical 300km barrier...

I just fitted some Hawk HPS Brake Pads to my JCW calipers and standard rears. Took them out to bed them in and they feel pretty good. Just need a few more k's on then for them to fully bed in.

n5290066 · Apr 4th, 2008, 03:35 PM

When i'm back in Australia i will be fitting the new brakes i purchased at AMVIV so i will have my R56 Brakes for sale. I understand these are the same as the R53 JCW Brakes. Anyone interested?

Hi,
I am interested in the brakes.
PM sent.
Thanks.

-blacky- · Apr 5th, 2008, 01:29 AM

Need a set of new tyres for my spare set of wheels (still deciding if I am going to paint them black or something a bit more out there) whats the latest and greatest for 17"??
Have a set of Goodyear's at the moment and love it - something a little more grippy perhaps......

You should suggest some very cool looking six pot calipers to go with those old R56 rotors. I know just the parts....

steve11 · Apr 29th, 2008, 11:57 AM

BC (R-type) coilovers & 8.5mm leads.

dsakko · Apr 30th, 2008, 12:42 AM

Wow, they're chunky! Look close to double the diameter of my Spax!

I'd ditch the DBA Longlife Gold. A good disc, no doubt, but I found they put too much heat into the pads and I had heaps of problems with cracking due to the cross drilling. The DBA slotted look nice but I haven't tried them yet.
