Cheers my friend! It's been a strange weekend here... an F430, a Bentley... a Mini. What the heck is going on here

thanks jjb... I know it's so high... I'll figure something... Maybe from bilstein

On the tuning, Todd's actually been working on it so I'll be testing it shortly and keep you posted.

I just bought a 2010 Cooper S on the 2nd to last day of 2009, i absolutely adore the car, and it's definitely quick (i recorded 6.2 to 60 with a g timer) although my first performance purchase will be a k&n typhoon intake - curious to see how this ecu tune works out

Now really... with the turbo right up on top, isn't slapping in a GT28 the logical choice?

Anxious to see what you can do with the ECU. There are tons of R56 owners out there just waiting to be able to mod their MINIs once a reliable ECU package is available. With the '07s getting ready to exit the warranty period, there should be plenty of customers standing at your door with money in hand.

Congrats with that and I'm digging mine for sure... It's no slouch and with a tune should be even peppier

I just purchased K&N Typhoon CAI - can't wait to hear the results of the ECU - a sub 6 second 60 in a FWD Mini would be nice

Congratulations on your new toy!!! You'll love this little car!!

Not only a great DD but wait till you get her tuned and on a track. You'll be amazed at how this little car "dances" through the twisties.

Also glad to see EVOM's is going to tackle the ECU.

Only one really good tuner for the R56 right now, so a little competition hopefully will result in better products for this very capable little car.

Here's some video from some recent track days at Pacific Raceways up here in the PNW. I'm on street tires, since I thought it might be WET---it is the Seattle area.

Enjoy the video's and look forward to some "Go Fast" parts!

Cheers!

I just picked up 2010 cooper in that same color scheme. Your black wheels look better than the 16 silver that came on mine. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
