On monday morning after MITP I made my way over to 1320 mini and met Scott and Tom these guys couldnt have been more helpful and completely genuine. Took my Cooper S in for a stage 2 manic tune (with bbq mode) aswell as sorting out a few other nigles with airbag lights and seatbelt lights. Was there for half a day and the car ended up making 230whp and 420nm. It has also sorted out my start/stop system not working as well as my side lights not coming on when unlocked both of these features now working perfectly. Big thanks to Scott and Tom

I am Incredibly happy with the car now, there was a stage where i considered trading in for a jcw there is no chance of that now. The sudden punch in guts of the boost now is mega and bbq mode is just an asbo waiting to happen.

Got a few more plans for the near future such as coilovers (have a set of kw v1s on the way) and an lsd at some point.

Its a rocketship now. The boost has had to be delayed to 3k because any sooner and it would just be wheelspinning endlessly

Great news Mark. Great to hear everything went well. I met the boys for the first time on Saturday and they were cracking lads. I'd have no hesitation to use them in the future especially after the way they sorted Eddies car on Sunday

Wow! Looking great!!
Bring on the marshmallows...[emoji23][emoji4][emoji106]
Yep, Tom and Scott are great guys and genuine too. They won't try to sell you anything that they consider unnecessary, or pointless.
Luckily for me they are only 2 hours from me, if the M25 is behaving itself. I will take my car nowhere else for engine work.

I'll always use them for the larger jobs and mods. Servicing etc can be done around the corner from me to save the 180 mile round trip to 1320 and back.
To be honest they have talked me out of spending more money than I've ever spent there. Tom also sold my JCW exhaust for £300 which meant my Milltek cat back only ended costing me £275 inc fitting.

Yeah well i had a pretty bad experience at another so called mini specialist begining with an L and i would never go back. Love the fact they dont mind you looking over their shoulder or just wondering around. And they did talk me out of buying a few things i had been told by others were a necesity. Would defiantely return in the future. A good while away but im quite tempted to go down the garrett root in the very far future.

Not sure about that I am running a grade colder and have no major mods and the car runs sweet have been checking the colour of the plug every other week just to be sure but all is fine

Yeah not needed for stage 1. But i think its just to avoid knock that they use evo X plugs.

These guys are the best. They are friends not just another car garage. And any1 who goes there they treat exactly the same. Like a good friend you have known for ages and there is nothing these guys won't do to help you out any way they can.

There's a dude that brings his GP2 over from Austria to have work done there and Flemming brings his GP1 across from Malmo in Sweden.
