Mini Tuning

hi, i'm wanting to get my cooper S tuned up to 220 bhp or more and have been looking at the different companies who do them, (GTT, Lohen, 1320Autos). Thing is i'm from Leeds and GTT is all the way down south, abit too far. Does anyone know any tuners within yorkshire even if i could order the parts and get them fitted from someone in yorkshire. by the way i've got about £1,000 to spend so could any one can tell me how to get the most BHP out of that....

(got some pics of me Mini, did it all up from a standard cooper S)

Thanks

Bal

15% pulley £250 Belt £20.00 NGK plugs £18.80 Ex manifold £570 Rolling Road before and after £50 If my sums are correct that leaves you £82.80 left for petrol to 1320

Your eventual horsepower output relies on the condition of your engine now and what supercharger you have.

All prices include vat and fitting

Alternatively we will fit any combo of parts you supply.

Nice looking Mini

I drove from Aberdeen to GTT's headquarters in Dorset - now that's far - somehow the journey home seemed shorter !

It was 1100 mile round trip although drove down on the Monday - stayed in the Best Western Hotel Monday night then drove home after you finished the conversion getting home between 2 ~ 3am.

The only problem I have is that although I'm very very happy with the car.....................I want more !!

Hi, you could be, weve had people drive from Belgium, Germany & Holland, so I think Poland wins.
best Regards Roland GTT

Hi Roland,

Your PM box is full - you should make some room for new business

I have sent you some questions from my email account though. If your workshop is open 1st week of July and you still have open slots, I might go for this record breaking Tour de Europe...

Cheers,
Sam

thanks for the info "Perm", just checked but the website seems to be down but i'm now thinking of going to GTT instead coz they seem to offer the best value for money...

Thanks again though
