Welcome to the site, Blade! It is great to have some international flavor to this site a little now and then. I spend about half my time in Europe between Amsterdam and Brussels. I really like Antwerp, it is a nice town.


You have quite a nice setup on your car as well. I really like the rims.

 

Thanks, I like the rims too but actually they look smaller then they are
because of all the bolds, if I can get a nice price for them I will sell them and
get some '18, maybe the new '19 Kahn's . . .

 

hey blade! welcome indeed to NAM! Your ride sounds really fly(and looks good too!)What is JS tuning,and what does it involve?I have a MCS ,but I'm sure there are lots of people who would like the details.

 

JS Tuning is a firm in Holland, they reprogram the chip.
So the Cooper's go from 115hp to 136hp, the One's go from 90hp to 128hp,
the Cooper S's go from 163hp to 200hp.

The new software is written for your Mini and your Mini only, so everyone
who wants the JS Tuning has to go to the Netherlands, for me it's only
50 miles from here, but for you guy's it's impossible I guess

The software is great, no more "stumbling" or yo-yo effect, not even in 1st gear at low speed,
Bmw even couldn't get it out, climbes faster in R/Min, uses less fuel,
the new 2005 Mini's even have a part of that software . . .

 

Welcome Blade! A most excellent introduction! And your MINI looks really sharp!

Godspeed.

 

one last question(and i must admit you've got my attention with your description of this tuner's numbers) do you have a link or webb address for this JS company?(Ryefile ,are you listening to this guy's claims of stumble/yo yo bye bye?)

 

Welcome Blade.........awesome MINI! You've done some fine work there.

Seeing that gorgeous body color trim has REALLY makes me want to do the same. Nice w/ parcel shelves all around, too!

 

About the JS Tuning, they need your car to do something,
they have to download your software to rewright it, it's different for every Mini.

The people from JS download it from your car, they have the right programm
and then they send the file to someone they know, that person works for Mini.

He knows what to change and what the result will be, he puts he's signature in the file,
so you can say that everything is original Mini software.
It's like they take out a limitation that was put in.
The new software is verry hard to trace by the Bmw dealer, and if he finds it, there is the Mini signature . . .

For example, did you drive a 2003 and a 2005 S model?
You schould feel the huge differece, and it's pure the software.
The problem with the stumbling and yoyo is in the combustion (is that the wright word?).

Now in the new models the yoyo is gone, but they won't give him the 200hp.

The guy from JS tuning has his software and a new pulley, this gives him 235hp,
and his Mini rides like a rocket, believe me . . .
This is al I have of JS . . . http://www.mini2.nl/pdf%20JS/PRIJSLIJST%20JS%202004.pdf

 

thanks blade! I am wickedly frustrated that such a re-program is not available here stateside. maybe someone will step up to the plate here,..... and the price! If I'm not mistaken 250 euro's is about 300 dollars! yeehaa...................so, how did you get the name Blade? I've got time for a long story......... thanks for the link to mini2,but my dutch leaves everything to the imagination Peace, bro

 

Yes it will be something around $300, I even paid only 200€, a summerpromotion
and it's really worth the money, especially for the One, 90hp isn't alot . . .

If you need help with dutch, let me know my friend

and for the people who love pics of Mini's, take a look at my little website . . .
