Took Kowalski (my R60) and my friend Will from Group4 Autosports (riding shotgun) for a dragon blast to try out my new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires! Great meeting everyone from here that I saw at the event!
Very cool video Kyle and nice to see you enjoying the CM to that level. I wish I had the chance to do this at your age.
Almost looks like my ride to the office if I choose to just take canyon roads - including the blockers although here it's usually a Prius.
Looked like a blast! This is only fueling the fire for me - I'm pretty much set on buying a Countryman and it's good to know that I'll be able to enjoy it on the Dragon.
I heard you mention your brakes getting hot... do you think upgraded pads are necessary if you're going to drive it in a spirited manner frequently?

Stocks will be fine, unless you're putting a whole day's worth of abuse on them... I upgraded the lines and fluid and had upgraded pads on order, but didn't come before MOTD.
Your title says it's tuned. What exhaust are you running? It sounds fantastic.
Thanks! I have an Akrapovic DP (no CEL, I have a $3 fix for that... Message me if you need info) a JCW intermediate pipe (with second cat and resonators cut out) and then a JCW backbox

The CEL fix for the DP is just a resistor or something similar? I assume it does the same thing as the Akrapovic Delete R?
I was talking to a guy at Hendrick MINI in Charlotte today (didn't get his name but he seems so familiar) who saw your car run at the Dragon... seems like your reputation proceeds you. Said good things about how the car handled up there!
