Since leaving college 'x' years ago my lfe has been like this..... mini 850, mini city 1000 then converted with JC cooper kit, cooper conerted to S with JC kit, twin point cooper (mistake) , mini cooper s-works 90bhp.....New MINI COOPER, now MINI COOPER S. But its not enough..... after 10 months I feel the need to give even more cash to the Cooper family and get it converted toa JCW. Will I be satisfied ? Or am I just a power addict constantly upping by BHP for just for kicks

simeds · Jul 30th, 2004, 01:58 PM

simeds · Jul 30th, 2004, 04:16 PM

Plan B then, convince her indoors of importance of more BHP over new bathroom and food for the kids etc.........

simeds · Jul 31st, 2004, 02:34 PM

Seriously folks... anyone got any experience on going from s to works...were you satisfied or should I put this idea to bed once and for all and spend all my energies helping others less fortunate.

simeds · Aug 6th, 2004, 01:13 PM

Whilst it's not the works, I have had remap, pulley and Milltek fitted. There's no possible way you could regret the up in power. The Mini can comfortably handle it, remains poised and a blast to drive.

I went from MCS to Works after about 14 months and was really wondering whether I could really justify spending £3500.0 for 37 bhp. But I thought what the hell, you only live once!!!!

Since the conversion 5 months ago, I have suffered constant pain in the jaw from smiling too much!!!!!!!

HObzy · Aug 6th, 2004, 10:20 PM

HObzy · Aug 6th, 2004, 10:20 PM
