Some of you may have seen that my mini is forsale on here at a rediculously cheap price - reason being i wanted an itr dc2 again really badly.

More time thinking about it the more sense it is to keep the mini, but in all honesty i dont think it can quite yet compete with the integra on several levels - obviously bests it with comfort etc.

I want the mini to have that little bit more poke, currently looking at the lohen 210 upgrade, could probably fit the kit myself, but was wondering if there is anyone (tuners) in scotland that could do it? would prefer a specialist check on the car before and after the kit being fitted, fueling boost leaks etc etc. Thats straight line pace sorted then.

Handling, my car has the lsd fitted, what type of lsd is this? a 1 way? 1.5 way? how does this one work? simply cut power to the 'inside spinning wheel' or does it transmit more power to the wheel with traction? Is there any effective mods that will give me better handling with not ruin the ride? dont really want to lower it, so was thinking more along the lines of braces?...Already ditched the run-flats

Thanking you

Best speaking to Aberdeen Al, a member on here. His S is running around 240+ bhp and has been tuned by GTT, Lohen & 1320 autos i think. I havn't been in it but from outside it is very loud (in a good way)

The Lohen 210 package could be up to your standards. Reason i say this is that my friend has a modified vtec Jordan and he couldn't catch me in a GP (running 218bhp). I can imagine a DC2 type R is alot faster than a modded Jordan though?
