I'm very happy to see this thread! I've been discussing back and fourth with PGT about getting a CooperS vs. the Cooper.
The devil on my shoulder is telling me to get the S. Coming from a Legacy GT I will be missing some power.
But than the angel on the other shoulder is telling me to get justacooper for the fuel savings since I have a bit of a commute and mod it to my likings as I go.

Well, to me, that's the equivilant of a single plane manifold on a V8. Great high RPM power, nothing down low. There's no runner length to create velocity and therefore, low end torque. With that, you'd have to have the head and cam to back it up, also. But, I'm sure with a good top end, quality exhaust and requisite tune, 140-150whp wouldn't be out of the question. Opinions?
UKSUV, I'm going to do a 6-spd swap too. Which flywheel did you order? Why? I'm going to get a lighter one myself adn am shopping. Found them from about 10 to 13 lbs (i think). Lighter is better, right?
OK, says right there in your post you have Fidanza. How do you like it? I've heard about 'chatter' at idle... any problems? why did you choose that over any others? Just trying to make an informed decision.
I loved the name of the club I have a 2005 cooper color purple haze and I love it doing some upgrades as I go so far rear seat delete,cold air intake,stainless header by Alta which I have to say is gorgeous, cat exhaust to complete the sound and preformance new drilled slotted rotors and brake pads along with 17in rims and run flat tires. next up grade will be sway bars and supension love this site by the way
