I'll be at Bedford for another passenger lap Dave.
Really want the cam/tune combo for mine but not sure it's really worth the money.

Good to see it's all sorted Dave. What do these weigh? Also, do they have really long gearing, something like 80mph in second?
You'll love it even more now :laughing:Really do love this.
I'd get one again!Nice thread!
The MCS is a car i have never ever considered for some reason but i do like them. A scan of AT confirms that i can get one for less than 4k which i didnt realise.
I am in two minds whether to switch from my E46 330 (probably why i am on CS!) and these seem to warrant further investigation.
How do they compare to the 1*2?
AT suggests that combined MPG is 40! is this correct?
Any other tips/input welcomed as you obviously know your way around them.
Very good, similar to the Carbon Lorraine Rc5+/RC6 in their feel/stopping ability/dustovereverythingness.Are the Carbotech pads good then?
I always think of the mini as a "posh" clio, natural progression when you grow up, or want more power without spending £££'s.How do they compare to the 1*2?

Yup!! They dont make the R Specs anymore apparently, so got very lucky when the "Power Ranger" was being broken on MT. £400 for wheels & R888's with a couple mm tread left, was mega pleased!!! Did need spigots, but they were only £7 delivered off ebay.Awesome stuff mate. I see you finally got the wheels you were after!
Get yourself to a trackday again at some point!!! Not just Llandow mind you lol.looking good Dave, will be good to have a nosey at it at some point :smile:
Naturally. Hasnt been cleared since August when i bought it. Probably looks better dirty though, its very much a "10 foot away" car 😌Good to see the bodywork being appropriately being cared for to your usual high standards :wink:
Cheers, i love it!!Love the car Dave. Looks a superb toy.
Did think about taking it, still might tbh, but quite fancy seeing what the 135i is putting out. Mini was only RR'd last month as well.@Sir_Dave
Disappointed this isn't at SRR on Saturday?
Hopefully see you tonight, be good to catch up.
We have many romantic rendezvous..Meal for two? X
No vids im afraid, unless it featured in someone elses lol.Any vids?
I wonder, Is the later facelift box a simple fit?
I keep looking at these again but a decent facelift is still the same bucks as I sold mine for near on 2 years ago :nomouth:
Farking hell!!I'm having gay urges to get a cab one for summer...lol
It looked really good at Bedford. Has anyone ever told you, you look a bit Downey?
Awesome shots! Really nice pics of a really nice car. [emoji106]
I want another MCS badly [emoji17]
Interesting comparison shots too. The minis are a real hard and flat ride.
Ha ha thanks, beats the useful "old Harry Potter" i guess 😂It looked really good at Bedford. Has anyone ever told you, you look a bit like Robert Downey Jr?
Service schedule looks about right, although i have/will just give it an Inspection 2 every time i think, S/C belt (aux belt) is only £18 and i have the tool to change it, with plugs being £8 delivered (NGK BCR8ES). With the sort of driving mine gets & the higher power, for the minimal extra expenditure, i think it makes sense to keep both in top condition, to avoid loss of boost/poor spark - both have a fairly negative effect on the engines ability to make power safely!Can I ask you a question about the Aux belt on them?
