    I've got a mate with a mini cooper, was just wandering what sort of maps are available for it? What sort of power gains can you expect and what price?

    Cheers

    MTH remap is what I have.

    think its about £210 now but NMS members get a special price.

    As for power gains, I haven't tested mine. It certainly feels more nimble but the biggest noticable change is the power through the gears. A cooper will leave an S lagging on the country roads when its standard, but with MTH, the S doesnt have a chance! The gear change is much more smooth! My map is being upgraded next week so i'll be able to tell you more then.

    It has been mentioned before

    Seem to remember one of last years runs where a modified (pulley & exhaust) 'S' could not match a standard Cooper on the twisties :approve:

    well I think it is all down to the driver. Me in my JCW S could never keep up with say John in a bog standard cooper.
    I just don't have the confidence to go round corners at a great speed.

    That is what I think it is down to anyway.:)

    Well I've had them both, I have to say the handling on a cooper is sharper, but I never expected it to beat an S on a country road - I just thought the pure power of the S would give it the advantage. You learn somethin new every day!!

    Eh... No!! The S is a great car for going fast on a motorway, but the cooper is far better in the twisty stuff. Well, in my opinion! You don't need a supercharger to go fast on country roads.

    I'm more than willing to prove it

    Unless of course, everyone interested goes to a Hot Hatch meeting at Knockhill or somewhere...
