Hello everyone!
I'm ready to start my mods, i allready have my JCW suspension kit on order...
next is my pulley... 15%? 17%? or 19%?
And i plan on installing the Miltek header and exhaust.
I most likely will NEVER go on the Track or drag race (unless we happen to be @ a red light and some open road)

-My MCS is my everyday car and i autoX.
I drive free spirited and i do push her alot (turns and pedal to the floor).

I've heard that the 15% is good if you keep it redlined alot, plus it match's up the best with the software upgrades.???
and the 17 & 19% aren't really great for days @ the track (which i don't do)and i'm goin to need bigger injectors.
Please hit me back with your thoughts so i can make my final decision!
Many THanx!

 

There are way too many threads on this topic. Have fun doing your research. Everyone has an opinion. Good luck.

 

RAW_MCS check out this thread. It is on the exact same topic and should be very helpful.

Raw, you doing the work yourself?

 

just for autocross and street driving, i'd probably go a 19%

 

-mdsbrain- thanx for shooting me in the right direction for 411 (i've been researching, i guess that thread got past me ...hehehe )

Hey CooperCrazy, no i'm not... i was goin to take a ride out to Eric @ Helix13, then while @ the dealer i was talkin to one of the service/parts guys and he gave me the digits for a reputable MINI mechanic here on the island. Also there is a pulley party comin up in April i just heard about on USminiclub.com

 

if you want to spend the least amount of $$ and reliability is at top of your list go w/ 15%.

for 17% and 19% you need to get colder plugs and new belts, also if you track it often you'll have reliability issues.

 

...or you could go with the m7 16%
