Hi Jon

We have carried out alot of these upgrades over the last 5 years.

You can search the net for ''p-torque'' to find customer reviews.

We recommend the Dyno before and after, as you can see the difference the upgrades have made, plus our quoted prices include free runs anyway. Of course its your choice though

70k miles on my 15% pulley car ... well ok its got a lot more done to it now but still... no problems caused by the pulley change as long as you dont use wide open throttle in 5th and 6th for extended periods of time (eg several minutes long foot welded to the carpet).

Keeping the car on the road is important, especially when you eventually increase the power

Hmm. So it's only Perth which hasn't got a great deal of Mini experience then, not the whole of Australia.
