MINI Challenge suspension and Milltek exhaust fitted on GP

Both MINI Challenge suspension from KW, and Milltek complete exhaust system fitted today.
The sound from the Milltek system is just perfect.

Gotta love it !

Off to the race track.
A MINI Challenge roll cage next on the to-do list.

Will do - you can always PM me.

We are off this week to live in Italy for a couple of years (or More) taking the LHD GP that I bought in Sweden a few weeks ago - the Modified GP 1657 will be staying in the UK for when we are visiting back here.

I forgot about this thread.

The MINI Challenge suspension is really worth the money if the GP spends most, or all of its time on the race tracks (like mine).
The handling is neutral and superb. Better than the original GP suspension, which isn't that shabby to start with. I fully enjoy it on the race track.
out of
Head of KW Motorsport helped out with the set up.
Not recommended for daily use (unless back and forth to the race track).

I just love the complete Milltek system. The GP now sounds like a MINI on stereoids.
Between approx. 3500-5500 rpm a towel is certaintly needed
out of
Not recommended if you think the GP is too loud already.

The MINI Challenge rollcage hasn't been fitted yet
Hopefully it will within the next four weeks.

Harness and seats next.
