United-Kingdom Clubber gets more Mods

Hi

Had a Forge intercooler fitted today and I must say that this is a nicely engineered piece of kit.
Have not yet had the chance to see if it makes any difference perormance wise but it does make the engine note sound quite different.

Also went for the new R56 strut brace now available form Forge.
Now this, IMHO, really is nice looking.
As with the intercooler I havn't had a real chance to put it to the test but as before the engineering and finish seem spot on.

I will post an update once I have had a chance to try it all out on the track.

Well spotted, stripes were indeed a creation by Phil at Mini Pirate.

The strut brace is as substantial as it looks, a well made piece of kit

Your car must really shift now... turbo back exhaust, CAI and intercooler. You need to get your car on a dyno to see what figures your producing! I'm thinking of going down the Milltek route sometime this year. Hope its worth it!

Dyno is next on my list of things to do.

Not sure where to go, feel I may need someone who is used to Mini's.
I live in west Wales so down here it's all Impezza's, Nova's and Saxo's.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards
