Has anybody tried the 18bhp BBR upgrade?

there are few threads on the BBR conversion, so you could find the people that have this by searching for these such threads

Cheers for that. I was just wondering if the claim was true about the MPG.

anyone can claim certain things about MPG, but at the end of the day it all depends on how you drive a car

The new MCS claims to be great on MPG, but the other day when I had one my trip averaged out at 26mpg, a lot lower than the claimed amount

If you are tuning a car up for speed then expect to drive it a little more aggressive, then MPG will be lower

Hi I had the 18bhp re-map and had some mods on the car already. I got the rev limit raised to 7200rpm and the car felt more responsive but no way was there 18bhp added and ya the cost! If I wasn't new to the mini scene I would of got it done with another company for cheaper.

like all tuners they brag and dont even make the effort of coming on here the biggest market for their mini work imo go see roland at GTT or lohen

I don't really know about their power upgrades, but I just ordered their Power Grip Suspension kit. They shipped me an incomplete kit and magically raised the price for me since I am out of country. Frankly, if they don't agree to ship me the missing parts ASAP tomorrow I'm sending the parts I have back & doing a charge back on my credit card. So far, they have a 2 thumbs down rating from me.

rogerbkr · Dec 29th, 2006, 03:12 AM

Well OK, they sent me the missing parts after speaking to the boss & finding out they had some more in the warehouse. I still don't like the feeling I have that they tried to pull the wool over my eyes & would have if I didn't fight to get all the parts they advertised as being included in their kit. So far, my rating would be:

1) Overpriced
2) Difficult to work with
3) Parts seem to work (so far), even if not quite as much as they say

Thanks for the replies. I am going to use Lohen now.
