conversion fantastic, worth every penny, and good after sales as well, and dont be worried about any warranty thru mini, as i had a engine mount replaced with gt220 and rolands monster strut brace on show at oxford with out so much as a raised eye brow,

blandford, now there is a clue in the name, take a good book

CC07ERS · Jan 27th, 2007, 09:39 AM

its going to be a quick trip back to aberdeen then al

ScottyBoy · Jan 27th, 2007, 01:23 PM

You won't be dissapointed I can assure you, I currently run most of Rowlands work with approx 240+ in my MCSC and it is a thing of beauty. The only thing you need to be aware of is that by the time you get back home you will just want to refuel and drive back to get even more done.

It is very very addictive so be warned !!!!!

Rigsey · Jan 29th, 2007, 06:23 PM

I'd agree with all of the above ..

The GTT220+ kit is worth every penny BUT you will want more GTT toys; I'm after a manifold next :-)

MINI-Morgan · Jan 29th, 2007, 06:28 PM

Me too on the manifold one.... but hopefully the GTT Strut braces first if we get more peeps on our group buy.

hope the trip goes ok

be gentle on the way home... no lang speed records.

Aberdeen Al · Jan 29th, 2007, 09:54 PM

I already have some GTT and other goodies fitted:

1. JCW Cat back zaust
2. GTT Manifold
3. GTT CAI
4. GRS Intercooler c/w GTT snoot boots
5. GTT Oil catch can
6. GTT Spiroslot brakes

Hoping to fit lowering springs & 3 x GTT struts by end of the year....................perhaps I already have the bug!!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement - only 15 x sleeps (and a birthday) to go!!

Aberdeen Al · Jan 30th, 2007, 06:52 AM

Anyone know what the increase in torque is for the GT220+?

Big improvements on acceleration etc?

Ant FR · Jan 30th, 2007, 08:44 AM

so won't that actually be a GT 230 conversion as you already have the intercooler???

marc-s · Jan 30th, 2007, 03:04 PM

one really boring question? How will you delare to insurace. individual mods or power increase?

picking up on that point, would you get a lower quote based on dyno/rolling road and
wheel hp rather than on paper hp?

I use Adrian Flux as they really arent too worried about all the bits that make up the kit, just what it does. I did however list all the mods after the GTT230 kit though.

And not one of them has cost me a penny more! Also now all our club members get upto a 30% discount with them. But how come my insurance is far less with AF on a modified car than a standard car with directline??

**Runs off to find out what the his torque was on the rolling road and how it compares to standard...**

I got a quote from Adrian Flux for GTT 220+ and my other bits & bobs - was quoted £336 which I thought was very reasonable.

My existing insurer charged me £30 to cover my existing mods but then let me know that if I made a claim they wouldn't replace like for like - it would be original parts only!

Might be slightly more than 230 with my manifold - I'm sure Roland will give me a good indication of power once it's finished.

Might look at other mods later on in the year - I'll see how it goes.

Anyone know what the torque increase will be for the GTT 220+ ??

ScottyBoy · Jan 30th, 2007, 09:46 PM

on the insurance side of things, i got a huge discount for being a member of MINI2, most other companys for my 04 MCS wer all over £2000, Adrian flux were £1041! really happy with them and hope they be okay when i eventually mod the car!
