    I had the milltek on my R55 JCW highly rate it would not cheap out as if you map it the chance is it will just give out buy cheap buy twice I find is often the case with car parts and also can always be moved on 2nd had for good money also if your quick road runner have a 15% sale on just now !!!
    New sig coming soon

    I was told at 1320 that sports cats are just not worth the hassle and, after they’d dyno’d loads of MINI’s with them fitted, the OEM Cat actually gives out the most bhp.

    ...plus after showing me the box of 40+ knackered sports cats that they’d taken off MINI’s o’er the previous few months it swayed me to personally not bother with one.

    Thanks Pete. It did sound great, popped and banged brilliantly as well. The map helped as well

    Were you ever concerned about the potential insurance implications?


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