Fine mate. Haven't done anything since spa. Got a new trick header tank, but haven't fitted it yet.

Compared to a stock MCS it's in a different league mate. If you're ever down my way, gimme a shout. I'll take ya for a spin.

The BM is lovely Alex. My friend has one is ghey black with lotsa carbon & stuff, but in the fire blue or Motorsport colours is lovely.

imagine how quick almost any super car is & wave goodbye in a straight line. That quick mate ;)

http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f835/lg-trimming-gallery-30581/ theres a thread of some of his work mate. Fantastic stuff & a thoroughly nice chap m

I know a fantastic guy, but he's based in London. Done lots of mini work.

Nice wheel figures man ;)

What figures you make at the wheels Alex? Charlie's rollers are said be very very honest.

I used a suction mount on my bike tank today with msv no problem.

Bphaysically.......

Ask Brands. Day organisers have their own rules.

It was fitted with the lead when I bought it mate, I just bought the optimiser & hook it up when I put it away. It's all fund dependant tbh mate. I'd like to change the exhaust manifold & cat but have the whole system ceramic coated. I'd also consider a new cam, bigger injectors & remap &...

I don't like the new styling at all mate. :lol: @ sorn until this morning. Mines on an optimiser the whole time due to having an alarm. Apparently it can muller a battery within 2-3 weeks if not hooked up.

That's one of the reasons I went red in the first place mate. It's currently sorn, but going to change that. Fired first time in 6mths although hunted slightly for the first 30 secs, but put that down to fuel being old, but fine after 30 secs & no EML. I'm very jealous of you getting a ride...

Cleaned the toys today & got a cool pic 8-)

I was beeping at Gaz in the kit car.

So managed to dig some pics out from my Spa trip. The trip was fantastic! After some worries about the weather due to the Sunday being very hit & miss, the Monday was glorious sunshine & dry all day. The track was a bit lively in the morning due to the amount of salt put down the day before to...

The ESMM do loosen up a bit mate & the vibes at idle will be fine ;)

Spencer said it made good power man.

Nice work mate. People sometimes think stiffer is better for suspension, it's not the case.

Well I've played with the gauges a bit now. Got the oil pressure set to red below 10psi & blue above. And oil temp set to pink below 70degrees & green after. Here's a few pics.... Don't worry, the car was off, just clicked the iginition on to show the red

Nice work, but that must unbelievably loud?!

I'll pop down to say hello & have a nose then mate as the Yank will want some company.

Nice pics man.

Well just got back from my maiden trip to 1320. What a great bunch of chaps. It's been a long couple of days & not plain sailing for them, but they were honest, fair & very very good at what they do. The challenge brake ducts are in, the lines are on, pads are in, brake fluid uprate &...

He doing the mapping at Charlies?

It's not bhp, it's bhp/weight that makes the big difference. That & power delivery, it'll feel rocket ship fast as is.

Well done man.

RS mapping is who I'd of used too Andy. I can't remember the guys name there now, but spoke to him a few times & he was a real nice guy. Sounds like its coming together nicely mate.

Very smart mate. A pal has one with a remap & it's a weapon!

Michelin super sports. So far so good, going to get some better miles under them at the weekend. Went for a drive tonight after work & It's like night & day with the grip & feedback levels in comparison to the RFs. NOW it feels like a GP.

Well the rear ARB is on, but front is not nor is the lower OMP strut. We spend about 6 hours trying to get some of the subframe bolts out due to them having open bottomed holes so being exposed to all sorts of road grime. It was purely rubbish in the threads & we had the use of all tools apart...

They look very nice mate. Can you not cut a hole in the OEM liners to allow some of the heat to escape & make them functional?

They are a preventative measure from the strut turret mushrooming at the top. They insert above the front struts & take the majority of the jarring impact away from the strut spreading the load. They just look like a sheet of metal. Thanks mate. How come they don't embed or is it gonna...

R56 shift light done 8-) Was a right royal pita even though I had a how too. So so fiddly. But glad I've dine it & IMO so much better than the R53 one anyways. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/LeeKrow/truck/3194AC06-A08A-4BC6-99CC-523725B8FB1D-5038-000005AC6D739618_zpse7754eac.mp4...

No worries mate. Just wash & dry it. Pop some one the applicator & do a panel at a time. Then apply to the next panel, then buff straight of the first panel. Make sense? It doesn't haze like most others. Simplez. Being the blue one it'll help with your colour. You might even get away with 2...

Looks good mate. Need some wax in the paintwork. If you're a lazy mofo, use some nattys blue paste wax mate. You'll do the whole car in 20 mins. I think the rear spoiler looks cool darker, loose the bonnet back to OEM colour & I think it would look nice with the darker spoiler still.

Cheers mate. The run flats are so so bad, there is a corner I drive very often & always gauge how good a car is handling wise on the composure & speed I get around it, put it this way I can corner almost as quick in the old mans Vectra estate in decent rubber. The RFs just have no feedback at...

Got the gear knob on & have to say its such a better shift for the additional weight of the Storm Motorwerks, plus being a spherical shape it's nicer to move your hand around. Also popped my cravenspeed dipstick in & also the bespoke tax disk holder 8-) Gave the car another massive clean...

You're gonna carry your turds in a sub 1k car?

I didn't know you had one mate? I thought it was alarmed from the factory. You learn something new everyday.

Happy days :)

I was only playing mate. It's much more a challenge as a driver getting round a corner quicker than planting my right foot. But horses for courses stu.

:lol: normally said by someone that can't corner a car. Only joshing. Might be something I look into later mate.

Nah....I've said before stu it doesn't need anymore grunt. It's JCW OEM switchable shift light indicator mate. Last one in the uk after fcuking about most of the afternoon. Bit geeky, but as its OEM I liked it & rare as rocking horse shizzle now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1-ed0dUOZs

Something else ordered yesterday arvo :lol:

Matched Eibach front & rear ARBs. Rear isn't too bad to fit, but front means dropping the sub frame. Once pay day is here ill be ordering something else too.

More goodies ordered today, but only do-able cos a pal is going to fit them for me saving me the massive labour costs. I dread to think how much I've spent on it getting it how I want it so far & I'm not finished yet. Thank fudge for credit cards (and no I don't care that I have to pay them...

Dulling the noise of a k20 screaming to 8400rpm? GTFO you homosexual!

Great job, not overly keen on the material for your interior, but fantastic finish.

No mate, they're normally 17s.

Rubber is here....

I'm sure someone has done or attempted this in the past guys.

It's cool man. Need to get off these RFs, they're fcuking awful. But you can tell there's a gem underneath them. The power is lovely. Lots of shove & it doesn't tail off top end. Generally it's a very nice place to be. Feels well put together &quite modern inside despite it being nearly 7...

Cryw4nk

:lol: if they're anything like the PE2s in the wet they're be better than the RFs in the dry Drew. It'll be fitted at the weekend mate.

Dickhead!

You lying little toad! They're a newish tyre. They are the Pilot Super Sport.

Michelin Super Sports mate. Had the PE2s on the 182 & they were superb. These are in the league above so expecting good things. Haven't read a bad thing about them.

My credit card is melting, but new rubber ordered. Time to bin the RFs.

Present came today....

Full system on the GSXR man? I can't see a collector box. Both look great ;)

That's right mate, I remember you liking it thinking back. Heavier & works out almost 2" shorter overall over the OEM plastic shiz. Made the shift in the BM alot more positive. I'll fit my alcantara gaiters when I swap the knob over.

Thanks guys. It genuinely doesn't need any more grunt as is Mart. Looking forward to getting off the RFs. It was triggering the TC in 3rd yesterday in the dry. Just ordered a Storm Motorwerks gear knob. Had one on the BM & it made a huge difference to using the box.

Cheers chaps. Yes Joey it's ting to Spa at the end of March mate.

Plates arrived & fitted those today....

:lol: cheers Kid

New plates arrived. Tow hook delivered but now has to be sprayed. Magnetic sump plug is here. Replacement gauges are here. Mini challenge brake ducts, HEL braided lines, oil cooler with stat & new front pads ordered. Got to order some more bits once pay day comes before the car goes to...

I boiled the fluid in my 182 a couple of times :lol: The lumps are pretty good tbh Beard. It's more of a case of a shiz tuner making probs. I used mine as it was meant to be used (exact same engine) & it never missed a beat in 4 years. Saying that I only used a specialist all the way...

Do it! Treat yourself ;)

Now get the gauges too you were dribbling over ;)

Heard nothing but great things about Fred tbh Andy. Sounds like ktec are fcuking useless.

Sounds a nice car. Echo what you've said about petrol cap & stickers.

I'd think both parts of the diagonal wouldn't be allowed.

Thanks. Import tax on the tow hook should be least of your worries. I looked at them, but too much money for me. If our of said I could of asked my supplier to get one shipped with his goods.

Because I liked them more. Plus it ties in with the red bits & pieces around the car.

Finally got round to fitting my door Rennline RS Tyle Door Pulls. Have to say I was shiz zing myself as you have to take the door apart. The instructions made it look easy, but I am a spanner spastic at best. But tbh it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The first side...

That's turd!

Always liked the S15s

^ :lol:

Not a fan of the GP2s, but I'd love his brakes. Lmao @ Beard coming to Spa.

Managed to get enough dry time to get it properly cleaned & waxed today. I wish I'd of had the time to get the door pulls done, but had to go meet someone. If its dry tomorrow I might tackle them. Couple of ghey ones Today's results are the best I've had since I've had the...

Waiting for a dry day over the break to wash & wax or polish & to fit my door pulls too. Waiting for payday to order a couple of bits too. I want to add a few things before Spa in April mate.

Nice work gheyboy!!! ;)

That's real smart, but you're such a ghey. ;)

Yeah Stu. Honestly mate I was surprised by the grunt tbh. It certainly feels as quick from my trouser dyno anyways. Had a pas say it feels as quick today too.

:lol: retard

Getting to like this little car more & more with some miles. Learning how to get the best from it which in itself is refreshing. Still massively surprised by the punch it has. Defo as quick as my old BMW. Waiting on some prices for a couple of bits from the states ATM which can be added...

If you've got to foot the bill speak to m pal Ollie who owns OC Motorsport. Tell him I sent you & he'll sort you out.

Round ones? Thik they're accord type s wheels.

There is a guy on the mini forum that does retries & his work is excellent. I think a roof retrim with a,b & c pillars to match is about £350. Want the link Darren?

:lol: you wouldn't fit in the seats :p

Rennline door pulls arrived today. Going to have to find someone to help me fit them now.

Dont get me wrong they're a very nice place to be, but alot plainer than the R50-53. They lost the downtubes & stuff.

The R56 interior is a step backwards. Alot more main stream. Thanks. It's fine, I keep hearing people moaning about it. My DC5 was harsher on OEM dampers & Eibach springs.

^ just a indoor cover at the mo, but more bits might be added to the thread. Went & gave the car a food clean & wax today after having a PROPER drive in it yesterday afternoon. I've got to adjust my driving slightly to get the best from the car, but was getting the by the end of the day. My...

If I use anyone I'll go to 1320. Those chaps attention detail is out of this world. Not a fan of the Gen 2 minis in general. If you put a Gen 1 & 2 side by side it's like looking at gorgeous twin girls. Both look lovely on their own, but put them side by side & one's always slightly better...
