specing a mcs

[mutilator]

ok so i have had a Cooper, which was fantastic, but not quite quick enough, i got a cooper convertable on order, for 30th sept delivery, but i decided im gonna sell that.
i was thinking of gettin another hardtop cooper and turboin it, but now im leanin toward the MCS.

heres what im thinkin:

MCS, hyper blue panoramic roof, white wheels, white mirrors, white stripes... with aerokit
or mcs dark grey, panoramic roof, black wheels, black mirrors black stripes.. with aero kit.

what you think?

also what are the first performance mods i should be lookin at? i was thinkin exhaust/induction and supercharger pully, then eventually new ECU.. what kinda bhp/0-60 times am i gonna expect?

thanks,

tom.

you got excatly same coloru choices as me, tho atm ive gone for dark silver. I am personally contemplating a bbr convesion, or Hartge. Hartge more likely. either one, i will get asap after receipt of car!!!! A ecu should see about 190 - 200 bhp, tht combined with pulley approx 205 - 210,and a induction kit wont make much difference on the mcs, as the breathing side of the car is already very good standard. 0-60 would prob be mid-late 6s. 0-100 is more dramitcally improved, the bbr 220 conversion sees 16.1 secs as opposed to the std 21.9.

I'd start with an intake then do either a pulley or exhaust next. An ECU is a big help when you get a 15% reduction pulley and depending on which you get, it's programed for the mods you have so if you upgrade the head/cam/throttle body, you might have to get it re-programed. If you want some better handling, look into a rear sway bar or a front strut brace.

what sort of delivery you expectin?
i posted in the west tunin group buy. they got a 215bhp conversion for 800 and somethin and exhaust at 500 with manifold. that should be pushin 230bhp right?

or you think i should DIY?
