With all the bridges around the Tampa Bay area, there are plenty of late night / early weekend morning places to do high speed runs when the roads are empty. I've had my pullied MCS at 140, but that may be due to speedo inaccuracy. Without the pulley it had a hard time hitting 135, with pulley it will hit 140ish with no problem and even with the windows open (adds a lot of drag).

dandp, thanks for correcting me that the others are also rally cars. I made a false assumption.

I found a nice road...no people, no police, just me, Mini, and asphalt (oh and my friend who was in the car as well)

1st---red
2nd---red
3rd---red
4th---red
5th---5500 rpm had to slow down because I saw a car coming

I've put it in sixth, gone to over 5000rpm but only ot to about 125mph... I thought that the ecu limited the top speed at 132 or something like that.

Has anyone with their ecu remapped done this?

Louay
