Fantastic review!

I am now really envious of you & your car

!

ScottishcooperS · Nov 10th, 2006, 12:26 PM

Superb review!!

Well done yet AGAIN Roland and GTT!!

T-bone S · Nov 10th, 2006, 12:47 PM

Do you have the oversized crank pulley? - how come you changed the back box part of the exhaust from the JCW to the Milltek - GTT manifold was a wise choice - couldn't that have been mated to the JCW unit?

I have the 1% oversized crank pulley, and a 16% scharger pulley.

I opted for the milltek rear exhaust as this suited the GTT manifold the best during testing. Yes, i could have fitted the GTT re-route for a cheaper option, but i thought that i could keep that JCW exhaust in one piece, sell it on, and enjoy a complete new exhaust system (relative to all the other money i was spending).

Cheers,

Ok cool - Did Roland talk about an Alternator pulley at all? - With your upgrade package you also had the hig power wiring/coil kit?

tnoy66 · Nov 10th, 2006, 03:56 PM

Well that was a review worth waiting for

Dammit man, I can see a manifold heading this way at some point

(might need to pop over to you (sometime) for a listen if you don't mind

)

It's good to hear that your other parts have been sorted too

Have fun and enjoy

I do not recall the altanator pulley being changed.

I do have the 40,000 volt coil pack and leads, yes.

No problems, that would be great fun - especially being a MINI modder too

I replaced my jcw with the mini madness 265 kit.I kept the jcw pully on it.Dyno comp in Scottsdale AZ. did it in two days..They did a nice clean job.It has 263 hp.Beat a wrx sti up the hill but he beat me off the line.) 04 mini s.

ScottishcooperS · Nov 14th, 2006, 02:12 PM

Interesting, what year build was it?

They current models have 280bhp with nearly 400Nm of torque. Admitedly they weigh nearly 1.5 tones but they are still quick.

Cheers,

great write up now considering having roland have a fiddle with all my suspeion as theres sommit not right down there as bmw cant put a finger on it willing to bet roland can

Nice review, what kind of 0-60 times do you think your are getting?

...but my mate who was in the car when i did a 1st gear, 2nd gear rolling start said "Oh wow, that is defo sub 5 seconds now!!"

To put the comment in context, he drives a sub 5 second car.

I smiled, but to be honest, although it feels like sub 5 seconds, until it is officially tested then i could just not say. It certainly felt like it.

I have some OBDII software that I hope to run on my car to log some key data and it has a speed trap logger on it, so may try some runs, but you gotta be safe and i think it is best left to the likes of santa pod, but to be honest, i don't want to blow my clutch just to find out how fast it actually is. It has already proven itself against the likes of the 911 and the Evo - so, as i said somewhere else on the forum recently... Nuff said

Cheers,
K.

Babes · Nov 16th, 2006, 01:28 AM

i have also played with a 911 and STi's, STi's will always get me off the line but once im going there is a lot of nose blowing from the subaru drivers
