So if I had a JCW kit plus this that means I would have like...250hp?!!
Also is there any exhuast sound difference if I put this on?

OKAY, so in the past w/ my vintage vehicles i've allways gone that route, cuz its the 'thing' to do (after u enlarge valves and such) to move exhaust gasses out of the block efficiently! a modified exhaust is the last thing u do.

I dont know how much power a JCW 210 would put out with this added on, but I'd like to find out. I dont know about the exhaust note yet, but once someone takes me up on my screaming deal, I'll have video/audio clips.

i hope i didnt allready ask of u this '?' but is there room on ur header to bore out to match port, as u can c' im real big on re-workin' heads to make real power..... real power is made by the head u know......

You all make me sick!!!
I don't even have a crappy MINI to call my own anymore. I just have to sit here and drool over all of yours.

I just ruthlessly thrashed my Crappy Mini around Laguna Seca for a day (first time on a track) and nothing fell off, including all the crappy JCW bits.

Not right now. I did but I had to cancel it, money reasons. I'm sure it won't be too long til I can place the order again. The day I had to cancel the order was one I will never forget. But I can say that I was gonna order jet black, now better yet I can order astro black which I would prefer. I really want one with a supercharger but I may have to get the turbo if I can't order soon. I swear I will have one soon though!

I would take it with a grain of salt though because Roland is a direct competitor with that crappy Mike Cooper
