From the mod, I think you will have 50 ft/lb of torque increased across the board, from 1.5k rpm - redline. And it will automatically increase you redline to 7500 rpm.

Yeah, I saw that one in the new catalog... but with my general adversion to carbon fiber, I chose to stick with the "woodsaw" one I have now.

i had always wanted a solid piece of metal type of keychain such as this one with the jcw. but they never had one before. i first saw this keychain on the www.mini.com website.

while i was at the breakfast i saw the new catalog and saw it in there. so i ordered it.

Well, now that you've opened the "carbon fiber" door, you're on a slippery slope! What's your next JCW CF mod?

It is actually. It can be adjusted for more downforce.

i don't have anything against carbon fiber as long as it is done tastefully.
