I went to the 2nd round of the JCW Sprint race today in abingdon and mike cooper was there in his EB works 200bhp 's'.

So i had a good look around asked a few questions.
This is what i was told by mike :-

- Works output 200bhp
- Should hopefully be available next January from all MINI dealers as a fit in their workshop upgrade.
- Price should be £3500
- 4 (yes four) exhausts fitted to rear. Could actually see the bottom of the silencer boxes a bit unfortunately but maybe this is just pre-production stuff ?

other info was that the car had the harman kardon speakers in (could see six speakers) and half leather (blue) which could not see in pre-spec'd showroom cars. back seats very plain, front nice (not really highly imp i know).

price of works upgrade and dealer fitting was also confirmed with my dealer later this afternoon when looking at 's' in showroom. HK stereo not available til december though.

Speaking with Richard Dejong, he said the exhaust was an early version and that they did plan to make a new rear panel that would have the cut outs for the pipes.

No did'nt ask about hearing HK.
Was too busy looking over car generally.
Car did'nt really sound loud though even though it had the four exhausts.
Mike said the car went "much better" (with a smile) than the standard 's'. Perhaps he would say that as he sells the kit. Who knows. best to wait and see if its retro fit anyway on test.
