  1. Thanks. I got König to do some work. Seem like good guys. But might try these ones as well, need to get my Whiteline rARB and Alta drop links fitted.
  2. Which company made this manifold? And do you need a stock manifold in exchange?
  3. still available, too heavy to carry back to UK
  4. sorry Nicholas, this won't fit the second gen MINI
  5. For Sale: 1 very good condition leather two-spoke steering wheel and airbag from a MINI Cooper S, removed after just 20,000km €250 available from Helsinki or Espoo
  6. for sale the 17mm solid anti-roll bar from Sports Suspension Plus suspension - suitable for a non-SS+ R50 MINI Cooper or R53 Cooper S (removed from a 2006 S with 67000km) a good suspension modification for more rear-steer feel €75 available from Helsinki or Espoo
  7. Can anyone recommend a good independent mechanic. I used to get the car serviced at Laakkonen, when it was in warranty, then then I switched to Autokeskus in Konala, who have been able to fit (ie) new brakes, suspension, engine modifications, etc. but now they say they "only do Original Equipment" (which is bullshit). So now I need a decent mechanic who knows MINI's and can do the work in the Helsinki region. Any ideas?
  8. bump; this week only, otherwise August...
  9. ended up paying €200 (it took a lot of sandblasting) but OK with that, at €50 each...
  10. Ask Graham at GRS - see http://www.grsmotorsport.co.uk/ £400 for the base version, £425 for the Motorsport version, including the under bonnet diverters. Easy to install yourself, but best to get new rubber snoot boots /rubber couplers from BMW MINI.
  11. Quick update, dropped the wheels off yesterday. Back end of nowhere, but the guy there was very nice, and had some wild green wheels on a pallet. I was quoted €160 for sandblasting and repainting 4x multispoke wheels, which is OK by me, even if up to 3 weeks time estimate. Thanks for the tip.
  12. It's enough power to trip the DSC and create emissions-fault codes in your ECU (if you go full throttle on a cold day), but at least the MINI guys in England will tell you that you need to run a bigger intercooler. Your charger will be spinning harder, compressing more air, and creating a lot more heat. I've got a GRS-M fitted if you want to come and have a look at it - if you're in Helsinki one day. But that's all I've done. Manifold next. The other thing to do is get hold of a Scanguage or other OBD2 reader and use it to watch intake air temperatures, so you know when you really have to slow down.
  13. definitely - so presumably now you need a bigger intercooler, then a free flow manifold, then a new cam with bigger injectors and re-tune. Should reach 250 engine hp with that on a good base engine...
  14. also available on any other day that I'm at work; otherwise Espoo.

    kiitos/thanks, I'll go and see them as soon as I get my new front top mounts /camber plates, bump stops and control arms fitted!
  16. 203hp and 206lbft looks pretty good for just a 17%, what else have you done?

    I want to get my suspension re-aligned properly (ie camber, toe); can anyone recommend a decent firm to do this in Helsinki region?
  18. Yes, still for sale. Sorry about the delay in responding. I can bring them into the office on Monday 30.04 for you. Please call/SMS on 0408308269
  19. This is a great deal! I cannot beleive that no one has bought these! Nice light wheels (6.46kg) and tyres that are getting a lot harder to find and when you find them, a lot more expensive (£150+). I would have bought them, if I hadn't been impatient and bought some other OZ's and Yokohama AD08s from Camskill, which cost me a lot more than €800.
  20. Any ideas on price and timing? In UK, we'd expect to pay up to equiv. €50 per wheel and max 7-10 working days, plus 12 month warranty.
  21. Does anyone have a decent contact who can refurbish (ie sandblast, powdercoat and lacquer) alloy wheels in the Helsinki region? many thanks Tim
