This Mini Cooper S must be one of the most sorted new Minis in
Cornwall if not the whole of the South West.
The owner of this vehicle has been a customer of ours over many
years and has had all of his tuning work untaken by ourselves.
He started the upgrade of the Mini by purchasing a set of BK Racing
299's in 18", fitted with the outstanding Yokohama Parada Spec
2 tyres. To complement the look and upgrade the handling at the
same time he had a set of lowering springs fitted along with adjustable
camber/toe rear bushes, adjustable camber/castor front top mounts
and an adjustable and uprated rear anti roll bar.
This transfomed the Mini into an amazing handling little car.
He then wanted more power so we fitted a 19% smaller supercharger
pulley, a K&N Typhoon induction kit, a Milltek four branch manifold
and full stainless system. This was finished off with a trip to
Superchips for an engine management upgrade. This saw power figures
rising to over 210bhp with an outstanding leap in performance.
After about a year or so of using the car in this form he wanted
still more power so the car came into our workshops and the engine
came out!
A set of forged pistons were fitted along with a full engine rebuild
and some ARP uprated rod bolts for peace of mind. The cylinder head
was modified with oversize exhaust valves being fitted and a fantastic
porting job was carried out. The head was fitted up with a Newman
fast road camshaft and the whole job finished off with a GRS Motorsport
top mounted intercooler kit.
The car went off to Superchips once again to have the engine management
re-mapped and at just over one bar of boost the car now produces
246bhp and the on road performance is absolutely staggering.
Is this the end of the story....
NO! Lightened flywheel, Quaife diff, Helix clutch, all to come.....
We can supply and fit all of the top quality parts used on this
vehicle to your Mini.
Why not call Pure Motorsport and enjoy
the power yourself.
