Just what I was thinking

I've got a straight piped F56, and you're right, this is not where near straight piped. Mine even shoots flames with the JCW Pro exhaust and de-cat...

What’s the best exhaust setup in your eyes? Remus, Scorpion, Mini Pro? AC Schnitzer?

@@benrutherford5544 jcw pro is great but very costly

They’re awesome little cars!

We put some PS4s on ours, a little run around it’s transformed the car though we went 205, the 10mm different wasn’t a worth the extra cost.

It's because the 6 speed automatic in the Mini is a single clutch and has more feel while changing gears when you compare it to a R that has a double clutch gearbox

Genuine ones from German suppliers don’t cost 300£ 😉

@@robo6548 :o even better!

Why?

@@jixuscrixus1967 Personal preference, I think it goes really well with the LCI model.

@@petervanzadegem3047 maybe it’s an English/Unionist thing. I don’t remember any such paraphernalia on the original mini.

Christian Smorag I agree, I ran a miltek decat with the pro exhaust so when valves open that is a straight through, way louder than this

I’m doing the same thing next year 😂 it must have the sports seats, HUD and the H&K speakers. I’ll buy the exhaust separately if needs be.

Thanks buddy!

Ha ha

Honestly I couldn’t concentrate on anything else doing my head in !!

My thoughts too, sounds like it still has a cat and centre silencer.

It won't be straight piped it will have a resonator delete this kid chats shit and should stick to taking photos of stuff

Did you get a stage 1?

@@ronniepickering2335 hi Ronnie I did. Not sure the actual BHP and torque, but it is so much more responsive.

Hi, can I ask how has the car run since? Had any issues with it? Thanks

@@epicell1711 runs smoothly with no issues. Wouldn’t be without it

Thanks Chris!

@@hampshirephoto no prob mate great vid. I'm just not sure if I missed the draggy time or if u never did it

Well spotted! More news soon

Aaaaaaand when are you gonna APR map it. Did my 7.5 gti and unreal.

🤩😋👀

3000 units 👍

@@rare6499 ah good shout mate.. they should do it for 19k seeing as they are makeing double my figure!!! 😂😂

chris cringle 🤣 19 grand where do I sign. The GP1 was something like 24k when it released in 2006 and I remember everyone at the time saying how could a MINI be worth that. And those only had 2000 and each was numbered AND built by Bertone!

Peter benn pan i’m not his brother! and believe it or not i’m actually 4 years older!

@@mattdoughty8477 who did the Stage 1 for you? I'm looking to get mine done in the New Year and was stuck between Loehen and Evolve. Your input would be appreciated.

Richie Hello, It was actually a local independent company i used, i did loads of research into them before hand and the reviews were fantastic, came with a mechanical warranty too. With regards to Lohen and Evolve it’s entirely down to you. I looked into both and Evolve seem to delve mostly into the manual models where as it appears that Lohen have a broader market so would potentially sway towards them, dependant on your transmission type. Either way i can’t recommend it enough, the cars are a hoot to drive at standard out out but trust me once you’ve had it tuned you’ll wonder why they don’t just produce them like it from factory! Mines been tuned just shy of two years now and it still to this day genuinely surprises me and my passengers with how quick it is!

@@mattdoughty8477 many thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Mine is actually a manual and I am thinking more along the lines of Evolve and doing it myself at home, although the engine warranty you got gives some peace of mind. The Stage 1 certainly gives it a nice boost judging by yours, a little bit more research and I'll get my hand in my pocket. Cheers

Man them new mini 300bhp ones are bigggggggg ££££££ but could be a great investment in future

@@chriscringle9263 agreed 38k for a Mini I presume thats with all the toys. Saying that spec up the new BMW m135i to a good standard it'll come in at 42k....same engine etc just different body, almost makes sense when compared

@@markrhoden68 I know mate it's just crazy. My dad was an engineer for ford motor company for over 30 years till he retired. I remember getting my first fast car lol it was brand new W reg ford fiesta zetec s in ford racing blue loved it. Retail was £11k or there about. With discounts etc I paid £8k. And that was brand new and I got a tank of petrol lol. To think kids like I was then getting the equivalent all be it a lot quicker now!!!! A fiesta ST is I think £24k.... crazy

TheBnelo hello, local independent company, transmission isn’t remapped i looked into it but can’t find much info on remapped f56 JCW’s let alone the auto model. I’m fairly certain though that given this is only the six speed torque converter there isn’t a map ability? personally though it’s only possible on the newer 8 speed DCT autos, i may be incorrect there and if you find out otherwise please let me know as that’s something i’d love to do! that said gearbox handles the extra load absolutely fine, smooth linear power delivery. cheers

@@mattdoughty8477 Hi Matt. First of all Thank You Very Much for your reply. I heard that there are those who do it in Lisbon or Porto, Portugal. I will ask the seller of the Mini. I want a remap to the 8 speed auto transmission, even though the gearbox is excellent! Best Regards and have a great Christmas! ;o)

Matthew Pugh took it off run flats mainly due to road noise and firmness. To be honest it does feel like a different car to drive, in terms of putting power down it handled it well on both but with regards to cornering the grip and ride quality is not a lot better

@@mattdoughty8477 I see you went Dunlops. Try the Michelin PS4. you'll be pleasantly surprised by the extra grip.

That's why my Mini has the Kw Clubsport upgrade. It's on rails tbh. Stock is just the "perfect" combination between sport and comfort

This is quicker than the GTI

@@elliothall9207 not mine:)

@@thedilznick if both cars are in stock form it is

@@elliothall9207 You’re right. I’m just teasin man, I respect Coopers and don’t underestimate them. Some of my funnest highway shenanigans have been because of them.
