You get to see Bir Red tommorow, shes coming in for a new iPOD kit, roof rack, and white 15' Rotator Spokes, shes the one with the big 33 on the side, thanks ahead of time!

Not only are you seeing her tomorrow, but you looked at her last week. Our one touch feature on the sun roof stopped working...remember? Take good care of our baby:)

What is your car in for?

Title: Re: hi.
Post by: MPETUOS on October 18, 2007, 07:15:44 AM

Software issues. Since it's a Dinan car, CF has to work with the West coast company Dinan. So far they've been really good about keeping me updated daily and the weather has been great for the convertible MINI S loaner. :023:

Alright, I admit, I've been out of the loop a bit on the 07s. Last I heard, JCW bits were only appearance packages.

Have they come up with performance bits since I last looked, and if so, what are they :icon_question:

Post by: MPETUOS on October 18, 2007, 02:56:17 PM

Roughly, for about $2500 installed, you get a ECU chip, CAI, new exhaust. I think HP goes from 170 ish to 185 ish. I could be wrong on those numbers though.

Expensive if you consider the amount of additonal hp.... :icon_eek:
Cheap if you compare to a R53 JCW Package. :023:

well mpetous yours is all done for ya put on a few miles with it just to make sure and we had the shopforeman drive it abit as well to see if i missed anything, so your good to motor. and big red i did end up getting it so your mini all set there sorry about the bike hilder issue kindda funny if you think about it. daniel wnet the extra distance to make sure your parts would be their and the day before yoru show up someone else misses the giant piece of paper with your name on it and sell your part. o the sunroof was a programing issue. the shd(sunroof module) and the motor on the mini is 1 unit. so when it got programed it self intilized and is working.

Well, as luck would have it, I haven't had the need to come in for any work yet(That's a Good Thing, according to Martha).
It is good to know that we can shoot the bull with the guy that's going to do the actual work when needed at HRMINI.
As a reminder, I too actually "do the work" when it comes to your paint and body needs.
Good to know Ya Tony.
