MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works G_P Tuning Kit

[Tonyt3]

Would someone please post something interesting in here - even if its unfounded gossip, lies, halftruths or even mis-information....? Please liven up a dull friday afternoon....

[zstkng]

Just in....
the new gp will be powered by two R1 engines mounted on a 2 foot ledge hanging over the tail of the new GP. The weight distribution over the tail end will be much like that of a 911.



erm.



i'll make your friday afternoon feel better.... I am currently sitting at a nice wireless cafe looking over the carabien sea drinking my nice cup of cofe and brekkie in Barbados.(its 9.25am)

have a great weekend.

Alreet Dinks.

Cheers.......want to buy it?

No the GP is not quite as hardcore as promised but there is nothing to stop anyone doing some tweaks.

I quite like them now. I am still thinking of buying a new set though as I think they'll get ruined in the daily grind.

I notice in your sig you've got an M3. Funnily enough I've been toying with the idea of getting a second hand one.

As for the M3 Mo , i wudnt bother , its actually my mums but im using it until i get my new car , its no faster than my RS focus (ok after 140 it pulls away but cum on! ) was and i considered getting one but its too sedate for my liking , lacking driver involvement , imo , great car , just not for me . So im stuck on a GP , Focus ST (mainly because of tuning prospects , no ford jokes please , PMSL!) , evo 8/9 or a scooby WR1 ,

I'm a huge fan of M3 so I think it is something I have to get out of my system. But I am sticking with the GP for now.

I looked at the Focus ST also, as well as a Scooby but the Ford as good a car as it is just doesn't do it for me. As for the Scooby.........well apart from the naff interior (aweful), they're just too common.

Wo wo wo, have you got an Ariel Atom 245? if so surely that is the car we should be talking about now!

JCW GP thread

[Tonyt3]

I've found the wheels the GP shoud have been fitted with....

they are black with a red rim and red centre hub.

I'll post a picture tonight - will need to scan it off the latest copy of Evo magazine....

dont know the price, but they are fitted to the new "£1,000,000 available to buy by special invite only" Ferrari FXX.


Probably not cheap then.

[LMB]

I actually quite like the wheels.

But they look like they'll be a ***** to fix if you curb them. So I thought I'll garage them for when time comes to sell and get a nice pair of lightweights.

they wouldn't fit a four bolt mounting without some serious surgery somewhere, and how much do they weigh ?

[LMB]

How come the GP doesn't come with Xenons? Are they meant to be heavy?

[Pobsey]

its the ballast Mo, added weight

I'd rather Xenons than AC.

Stupid leaving them out really as they make a hella of a difference.
