Evening All,
I have been speaking with the guys and girls at R53 Owners Club and they have a rolling road day on the above date at SOS Motorsport in Falkirk (I’ll double check time - I think it’s 9am). The cost is £40 per car.
They have 2 spaces available at the moment for anyone wishing to go. Please reply here or pm me. Neil McL, I’ve put you down for a space as per our chat on Sunday. Let me know if your don’t want it.
Thanks
Craig

big thanks to Craig for the invite to the Dyno day down in Falkirk
good turn out a dozen cars or so, 9 mini's and 3 or 4 other makes with an RS4 slipping in at the end and pulling 580 odd bhp at the Flywheel
Quite happy with mine, gives me a base figure, only mods so far are Janspeed, Milltek, hobo airbox and cooler plugs and on 116k miles
it made pedestrian 176bhp
Craig

Good to see you Simon, was a good morning. Mine made 226 which is only 8bhp up from Stock so there is something not quite right. Torque was really good tho which is prob why it feels good to drive in real live situations... [emoji4]
That RS4 was mental and can't believe the guy paid 17k for the supercharger upgrade [emoji15]
Also good to meet Davy and also Rob before he had to run to work.. Myself and Neil now scratching our heads re a map that's not doing a great job or some other issue as our numbers were both less than we thought. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/bd988c089af78247b44689a0ab6513d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/f9ec33d321ca4b9b0ed6b6eb6b8b39b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/d92a0c873d49e9dde5a73706054a2658.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/ee63bde34cb366ce8cce5ced6207e057.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/743edabb1ffb98007d330e34507ce5e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/19ea17a12b53abb2460f0b6d599a2029.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181208/38c59103126eee6ada8d55a145d1d94a.jpg

Thanks for the invite Craig, glad to have came along and was pleased that my mini is producing 103bhp at the flywheel so not going to complain at that, I always felt it was nippy and that was a reason why I bought the car when I test drive it.
That RS4 was insane sure you could feel stuff coming out the exhaust like excess water and the noise it made was unreal and £17k for a supercharger upgrade. Think he got his money’s worth.
Hope you get the problem with your maps sorted.
I was actually sceptical about putting mine on the rollers, as it was last serviced in 2016, and only bought the car in October, glad I did, but think in the new year I am going to book it into Miniworks near to me and get a service, belt replaced and stick in a fresh set of spark plugs and a aftermarket air filter.

Yep good to see people today shame i had to run off but work calls as per normal when i book something to do.
I was very happy with mine it had a lovely power curve and the guy running the dyno said it was tuned bang on. Mind you expect nothing less from 1320 !!!

Aye the Rs4 was a tool, the owner said it'd maybe break 400 :lol: ...bandit
I was told it had Lambo calipers fitted, mega money spent on it
great to see everyone, days out like that always make you feel like a little kid again
I thought Andy's R53 doing 214bhp was a great result with limited mods (15% pulley)
