hey @sublime: go for it! or maybe ditch the heavy runflats for a wheel+tire combo that weigh less than a baby elephant.

Ducati, way cool!

Good idea on the wheels/tires. Which combo do you ride with?

Currently, Goodyear Eagle F1 tires on a set of five-spoke 17" SSR semi solid forged wheels that weigh around 15 lbs each:

Sadly for me, I don't actually own these lovely wheels; I'm going to give them back shortly. I'll be going to the stock (meh) 17" wheels, wear out the all-weathers on them now, then get another set of Eagle F1s.

I love the F1s; great dry traction and remarkably good in the wet too.

The stock wheels+runflats weigh about 45 lbs each. Lighter wheels and lighter non-runflat tires make a handling difference.

That said, I've gotta say, the 15% pulley on the supercharger with the JCW intake is the balls!

I'm sorry to say that this number is already held by Peerage member oldtrojan66. Please remember to check with the list on Page one of this topic to see all numbers. (until the admins allow us to change the list, it's the best we can do). Let me know if there is another number you'd like to have.

Greetings fellow PW fanatics...since Japic is presently experiencing a prohibitively busy personal schedule he's asked me to temporarily "take the keys" to the PW Peerage. I'm honored to have the opportunity to represent you all and answer your requests for entry into what is widely recognized at the most prestigious of all MINI color affiliations.

And so...away we go!

Hi there! It's pretty easy and informal. Pick an unclaimed number and just post a request for it in this thread. You can check the list of current claimed numbers in these two posts:

http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...790-post1.html
and
http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...-post1832.html

At some point after you post, Gil-galad or Japic will update the list with your claim.

I was wondering the same thing although it make me feel special that the Mini I'm looking at building is going to be different than all the rest.
