England To buy or not to buy, that is the question??

My MCS arrves next month and I just want some feedback on the Hartge or BBR conversions. I've already ruled out the Works because is too expensive!!

Did I read some where on here that Hartge are going to do a 240Bhp conversion??

Any replies would be great

PS, this is my first thread, I feel emotional!!

United-Kingdom Wait.........

Hi ya,

I am thinking about the same thing............ however I have been driving my MCS
for about 4 months now (8,500 miles).

I would enjoy the power of the MCS first, then drive it with Optimax, and then and
only then consider a upgrade if you feel the car still needs more power.

Trying to decide between all the after market conversions is very hard work.....
....however the good thing is that I have not heard of a bad conversion yet.

Hope that helps
