good to hear your very satisfied with the service.

personally I would also travel to have this type of quality rather than use a local dealer/garage who cannot provide it.

well done Dave..................keep up the good work !!

Had a cracking night out in Hereford on Tuesday night & while I was in that neck of the woods, I had a few mods carried out...........doing my bit to stop the economy stagnating.

Power mods....

Lohen BV Head
Shrick Cam
ARP Head Studs
450cc Injectors
Janspeed Manifold (with cat)... what a noise that thing makes!
AFPR

Handling mods.....

Quaife ATB Diff
Exedy Hyper Single Clutch & Flywheel
Spax 580 RSX Coilovers
OMP Upper and Lower Strut Brace
Superflex – Gearbox and Engine bushes

Bling mods....

GTT Oil Catch Can
Oil Temp / Volt Gauges


Just back home after a 5 hour drive back to Edinburgh & have to say that car is awesome, its very loud & very quick... Conditions were great for driving back -1 & dry roads Doesn't look like i've lost too much boost either, still got the light to come on a couple of times

Thanks again TM, its always a pleasure, good to see you and Ade again & hope the knitting needles take it easy on your head !

See you in another 6 months

Richard, couldn't agree more! seriously though, there has to be a market for a Mini Specialist in Scotland, there are a lot of people with modified minis and also a heck of a lot of people with cars greater than 3 years old who would save several £s by going to an independent that really knows the Mini inside out for routine servicing.

Over to you Dave

Cheers Ant, the gauges look really good in the car, drove all the way back up to Edinburgh in the dark & must have looked down at the gauges 30 times with the stock orange glow coming off them.

I take it you had the Think Mini innovate kit under the radio? Or did you have the BMW kit?

Its not the innovate kit (although definitely need to get it in the car and start keeping an eye on AFR numbers....), also fancy a scanguage II.

They are the old gauges out of Ant's R53, I've only seen them in dark so far.... but i'm pretty sure they are the BMW gauges.

Not quite gauge overload, just the right amount of gagues... four! The SPA gagues are fantastic.

So its a real noticable difference in performance?
Is there any noise change or is it all about performance?

Think im going to have it done but I need that little nudge.
