LOVE IT! I will try to be back to the shop before we close with it. So MONDAY might be a better bet? Who knows!
Adam,just came home from driving the exact same car over at Alexander Mini in LA.The car just showed up without any notice and Shep called me to try it out.The car is great but it will certainly be much better when you put on the tubes and the intercooler.I got to drive it pretty hard and I love the way it feels,but it does need your breathing goodies to make it a little throatier like mine...Will certainly love to hear your impressions...drive it hard and have fun...hope the family is well,my best regards...

Thanks as always Mark!
I am going to drive it a bunch tomorrow so I can put it on the dyno early in the week to get some baseline #'s for everyone. Then start going from there.
Also, we should start publishing the fitment crossovers from the "regular" R56 MCS for folks very soon as well. But it looks like much will cross and much will NOT.
Very nice......I'll be very curious to see dyno results and comparisons to "ALTA" tuned cars!!!...how are those brakes?
When I parked it after getting home from the dealer it had 14 miles on it. So I need to bed the pads in a bit before letting you know. I have the WILWOOD kit on LLoyd and that will make a good comparison once I can get on em both hard.
Lookin' good Adam. So did you get the JCW suspension kit as well?
I don't think so, but I will go look. MINI f'd up all the launch cars window stickers, so I really don't know what is completely on the car, and you can't build it that way on MINIUSA.com. So I will go poke my head under there in a few minutes!
In the " NEW ALTA R56 Plug-n-Play ECU Q&A Thread" (post #528) I'd asked:
Towards any of the Alta employees... What are the plans for a '09 JCW specific tune by you/UniChip? Yes, I know someone's got to get their hands on it [the car] 1st. <grin> I'm just wondering if estimations were made of the form "we expect we could have our tune altered specific to that model N number of days from the date we get our hands on one..."?
