I believe mine are the R56S brakes. They have been painted red, I don't think they are that colour standard.

Haven't updated in a while, have just been enjoying it. Gave it a clean last week and took some updated pics. IMG_3802 by warren todd, on Flickr IMG_3804 by warren todd, on Flickr IMG_3803 by warren todd, on Flickr

It is noticeably quicker with the reduced pulley. I had a little play with a 2008 Focus ST last week. And I got about 1-2 car lengths away from him. The quality of the car is so much better than the Clio.

Yes mate. I love it. It is such a good little car. The small mods that I have done definitely make the car so much better and would recommend them. I couldn't see myself going back to a Clio now.

Make your own airbox mod. So easy and sounds so good.

I preferred the light blue one. Why did that one get sold?

Pulley now done after I had to postpone the fitting. Feels so much better now. Best upgrade. Need to have a dyno run now to find out what power she is making.

I believe so, haven't seen anyone have any issues with MOT's. I've got a Resonated section with it just in case.

The Milltek is now on, as are the JCW side skirts. Car is looking and sounding so much better now. The 15% pulley is being fitted tomorrow and hopefully I will have enough daylight to clean and take some photos of it. The Milltek is awesome. It's the Non-Res version and it burbles and pops so...

I'm glad. Can't wait to get it all on.

Found a second hand Milltek Non-Res cat back system and possibly some JCW side skirts. Collecting end of the month. Will also be fitting the Hobo airbox mod. So should be a nice quick little car by the end of the month.

The pads came with the calipers I bought But I got the Brembo Discs from Euro Car Parts. About £70 for the pair.

R56S brakes are now on the car. R56S Calipers Brembo Discs JCW Pads HEL brake Lines Dot 4 fluid. Car now brakes so much better, very pleased. Any of you guys with Mini's on here thinking about this mod, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I lost the light this evening but will try and get...

Yes got the calipers off eBay and then got all the other bits all over the place. I've seen some companies doing the R56S package. But it's around £500-£600.

Car has now been booked in at TWG Automotive in Camberley, who are a Mini/BMW specialist to do the 15% pulley reduction. I now also have all the bits to do the R56S brake conversion. R56S Calipers Brembo Brake Discs JCW Pads HEL Braided Lines Dot 4 Brake Fluid Also have all the bits to do the...

You should consider colour coding the rear boot strip. Love my stubby aerial on my car.

I'm guessing these tuning companies will do that before I travel home.

The Lohen one will work out at £400 fitted. I think ill get the wishbone bushes down when I get my new exhaust.

I'm loving it, I've only done a few short trips. Need to take it for a blast. Will be taking it to Lohen I reckon for their Stage 1 starter pack in December as they have 50% off fitting. So it will be a different car altogether. I need to get my brakes fitted at some point as well.

Your best bet is Mini Torque for all the common problems and buying guides. Yea it's an aero grill which I think is a must.

I phoned around quite a few places and got the same answer. Never mind. I might have to go for a Milltek once my money has been refunds. £477 for a Milltek non res on eBay.

So, Larkspeed have just phoned me to say that they can now no longer get stock from Janspeed as they wont produce less than 5 items at a time. So I'm now looking for an exhaust again.

Aero Grilles is a must. Changes the look for the better.

It seems most people use the Milltek system or the JCW system. But both around £150 more than the Janspeed.

Once I've had my brakes and exhaust done I will be booking it in for the pulley. Can't wait. It will be a completely different car.

Once it's fitted I will let you know how it is, but could pop by if it's something you're considering.

Haha I'm down by the hospital.

That Mini Sport Exhaust looks good but it is about £170 more than the Janspeed, which is also a single box design. I will see how much I can get 1320 to fit the exhaust and brakes for. Otherwise I will do it myself. Once my broken hand has healed that is. Lol

Just checked the VIN thing and it doesn't look like there's a diff. Never mind.
