It was a good experience and he had my new tires mounted while I had lunch at the pool hall. Perry also sold me the wheels and tires for my 07 Mini and two sets for my Honda. He owns at least two Minis and is a good technical resource.

Ultimately using that to replace what's left of my stock "S" airbox after the K&N CAI install. So if anyone has a JCW that replaced the stock airbox with a CAI (cold air intake) then I might want to buy your old one. Otherwise I'm going to start fabricating a better airbox to test some new ideas on. My goal is dropping the intake air charge temp by lowering ...

This is truly the best $$$ you'll spend on your modified R53. The tune is $350 plus a very reasonable dyno cost of $100. I have had an RMW dyno tune and it made an incredible difference in the power and feel of the car, so I can highly recommend this event.
