I had to change the alternator on my Cooper S recently which let go on my way back from holidays! Luckily I was back in Ballincollig when it happened.
So I have had the front end of the car off Three times now in the last month!!
Ah well all the jobs are done now so "Yorkie" is flying again

All I can say is WOW!!!!!
Had my Cooper S booked in to O'Leary's Garage in Ballincollig today to get my 210BHP conversion done

Truly Excellent service from start to finish!
I got the supercharger pulley replaced with a 15% reduced pulley and a Custom Remap of the car's ECU.
The difference is Amazing!!!

And the bonus of much more gorgeous supercharger whine! "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" lol

So my 'JCW' badges now match the performance

I've only had a couple of small drives in it so far but there is a big difference and lots more torque too. The Remap has made the car alot easier to drive and is way smoother too

Looking forward to the next Mini Run now!

Any difference in fuel consumption Ferg?

by **MiniMpi** » Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:31 am

There is to be honest but that's only because I'm using the extra power an awful lot at the moment

Driving it normally it is down maybe 2 to 4 mpg.

You are NOT driving it normally !!!!!! normally after a proper remap fuel consumption is better by about 10% , but of course you are Ferg and have no control over your right foot :rolleyes:
