ah sweet. its a full grand cheaper than another company too. I'd still need an S drive train and gearbox though, but i can get that from a breakers....

Cheers for the link Alan.


edit> actually a 30% increase in power will take it to around 150bhp which is still lower than stock S but within the coopers threshold. hmmm. must be able to get more power than that. i'm going to call them and i'll post what they say.

Thanks to the bank holiday my car registration documents have been sitting in the DVLA Aberdeen branch waiting to transfer over to the scooby :evil:

I dont think it will be useless - once they have put the development in on the turbo unit it wont be hard to convert it to a Cooper. The supercharger will be out of the equation ;):D
