Just heard from the ABF / MINI USA Time Attack team that after all the fuss about the 1.27s last year that they decided to go back out today and try to miss the 1.26s and go straight into the 1.25s.

The biggest problem as you can see is that Dez and the MINI went into the 1.24s and nearly missed them and ended up in the 1.23s

What is more astonshing was the above was acheived on the Yokohama 180 treadwear street tyres and not slicks

All you JCW owners dont know how lucky you are to have such an excellent platform

Since the last outing the ECU has been re-tuned by the Mynes team to have its useable power band moved upto 7500, this and other prototype engine and suspension parts have worked togeather to run this truly outstanding time.

There's nothing like proving yourself at the TRACK......

 

Congratulations to the Dez and the ABF crew!

Other than the Tune, the only upgrades to this car were...

Prototype Camber Plates
BSH Competition Catch Can
BSH Direct Dual Boost Tap/Block-off
BSH Heat Shield (prototype)
BSH Race Lower Motor Mount

 

Nicely done

Congratz to ABF/Mynes.
Show the proof or STFU.
With the right tuning, it looks like the R56 has lots of potential.

 

Way to go guy's

 

Yo! Nicely done - keep up the great work.

 

What type of proof are you looking for exactly ?

When you posted this no one was asked you for proof why are you asking now ?

New personal record at Streets of Willow.

I managed to get a 1:28:751 this last week out on the first session. The car ran absolutely great. I drive a 06 and it finally hit the 90k mark at the track.

Specs are:
RMW BVH
RMW race...

Nice work...makes me want to go out and by a JCW R56 if a lightly modded R56 and beat a heavily modified R53

 

Who cares about those?

They do nothing for performance (except maybe the camber plates, but come on)...........or is that your point? That the Mynes tune is so amazing? Too bad they can't post on here to tell us about it....

 

This most likely had more to do with the new " record " .

Would love to have the dyno shared with us....

Just to help to visualize the "usable" power band up to 7500 on the stock turbo and stock head.

 

I have not had a chance to talk to anyone from ABF but my GUESS would be that details will be slim and few until after the next time attack which is still weeks away. This was just a test and tune session which apparently went rather well .

Nobody did, but I could certainly show my time sheets if anyone asked. I want to see proof because unlike some people, I realize how hard it was to achieve 1:28. Therefore, wanting to know if a 1:24 has been done in a Mini. If so, I will greatly give a big thumbs up to whoever did that time.

 

What sort of times are these comparable to? Stock 350Z? BMW Z4 35i?

 

Dont worry Coouuper S I wonder if I had a Bobby Ewing moment when I woke up this morning and wondered if it was all a dream

But yes its all true and I did speak to Hubie and Dez just as Dez had pulled in from that historic session, It was one of those moments that even Emma realsied that I didn't want to be on the end of the phone but really wanted to be in Cali at SOW, just like that moment at English town when the scoreboard read 10.62 @ 128 back in 2006

They were at a Time Attack pre season test and tune day so I'm sure the times will be availble on the net in the next week or so.

I have got an image of the screen with the time but to be honest you can just about work it out if you know what you're looking for.

Hubie rung me on the way home and said it was worth staying up to 4.30am in the morning putting the prototype suspension on and setting the car up.

But what has pleased him even more is that he believes the team has set the time low enough that they dont have to go back for quite a few years

A bit like the teams drag racing records its going to be a hard one to break, I mean you're going to have to aim for the 1.23s

 

Mikes image has come out better than the one i had sent to me;

I'll just make that a little easier to see...if you don't mind, Paul...



...congrats to Hubie, Mike and the ABF/Mynes crew...good to see some REAL results from modding the R56 MCS.

 

Thanks Partsman

 

My point was to give all the information in what changes had been made to the car. I in no means mean to take away from the light of what the tune, added camber and excellent driving in Dez have achieved. The Race Lower Motor Mount adds to performance by limiting drivetrain loss.

 

I wonder what time my JCW would run @s.o.w. with Ian behind the wheel

 

Nice job guys!

 

Aaaaaaaargh! This site is ridiculous!!! No one can post any good performance results without the fanbois crawling out from under the rocks and questioning everything about it. Good grief.

Congrats to Mynes/ABF, a well deserved result from hard work.

 

Agreed Pride and jealousy are bad things

 

Stick to the topic, impressive results. Nice to see the time snap.

No need to get into a pissing match, nice to see without all the grousing.

Congratulations, good power being made and good driving.
