Just got my car back

Had all the new parts fitted to my car except for the intercooler. That I will do tomorrow morning.

The car sounds totally different with the RMW header/head - I LOVE the new exhaust note!

The mechanics stayed till 09:30 PM to finish up my car, talk about dedication

The car is also boosting much higher with the 17% pulley installed. I'll post some pics and vids for you all tomorrow.

I'm so happy with the outcome!

PS. My ASC light is permanently on and I can't seem to turn it off with the switch on the center console. It is obviously related to the Quaife LSD I installed - how do I fix this problem?

the quaife wont make your asc light stay on all the time. You have a problem with the asc/abs system.

That's what I was afraid of

@jaridp: It's definitely the ACS light.

@nabeshin: I can't push it until it gets tuned - that's the downside! Monday it will go in and get Unichip fitted and tuned.

A Jan tune would be the first prize but, Jan says he has something up his sleeve to get my tuned all the way over here I can move the Unichip over to one of my other cars once that has become possible.

Good to know. Keep us posted.

Hey, how many MINIs do you have anyway?

For sure! Just one MINI - but the Unichip is compatible with various makes of cars.
