    Afternoon,

    I'm looking to get a decat fitted to my F56 Cooper s then get it tuned to 270 bhp.

    Can anyone recommend a good garage with a rolling road and tuning facilities in or around the Aberdeen area? Preferably looking for garage with experiences in tuning mini's.

    I suspect you'll be lucky to find someone with experience of tuning a new engine up here. Wallace Performance is closed as well, so you'll have to travel I think

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    I personally wouldn't bother with the de-cat from what I've seen and read it doesn't seem to do much other than make your car sound rougher on start up. What set up you got on the F56S just now ?

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Re what Davy says the De cat on the F56 does not sound that great and is a bit of a job as the amount of things you have to remove quite the reverse on the R56 which is easy to change

    Not a fan of a decat on and F56. Sounded great on the R56 but makes the F56 sound rough. I wouldn't have thought there was anyone north of the border to map the F56

    Kev,
    RA Motorsports in Perth just sorted this for me. Stage 2 map, decat/downpipe & induction kit = 305 bhp. I'll attach dyno print out if I can work out how lol

    It's a handful to say the least, but serious fun. It's a fair bit louder than previous, and the pops and bangs with the exhaust valve open are ear-splitting, lol.
    It now has higher power to weight ratio than a BMW M2 so that gives an idea of what she goes like!
