    I didn't see anywhere in the post that they're claiming it was a record for SOW... just their own record at SOW for the R56.
    Was that other 1.27 turned with an R56? Come on now.

    Great times Mike. Especially considering how stock the R56 is.
    Is this the same yellow Mini you had at the Carson drive event? That thing felt like a serious monster!

    Going for a spin in that made me long for an LSD in my convertible automatic.

    Not sure these days what I was thinking on that particular combination!
    :mad2:

    Looking forward to seeing the numbers drop once the boost gets turned up!

    :Thumbsup:

    Sorry, guess I misunderstood.:eek: Maybe instead of this:

    ABF|MYNES Tuned R56 JCW SOW record = 1.27.691

    It could have read this:

    Record for a ABF/MYNES Tuned R56 JCW at SOW = 1.27.691

    ..and I wouldn't have been mistaken.

    Yep, it's the same Yellow JCW that was at the Carson event (the latest ABF Road Tour event)... going thru the mod progressions really shows how much potential there is in these R56's :Thumbsup:

    For your Automatic R56 (?), i don't think you'll need that LSD unless you track that car. Installing the clutch and LSD is a LOT of work so i don't recommend it unless you're seriously thinking about tracking it... if you want some more usable power, a custom reflash would do the trick. PM me if you're interested, it's a lot less than $600 and it's been tested for 3 months on our cars both on the tracks and on the streets... :Thumbsup:

    cheers.

    It's no mistake, let me rephrase it:

    SOW Records:
    MINI R56: ABF|MYNES Tuned R56 JCW Street Car with Stage I mods= 1:27.691 (DOT Tires)

    MINI R53: Sean Patrick Flannery = 1:27.653;

    ButtonWillow:
    MINI R56: ?
    MINI R53: Mynes Tuned|ABF Built Turbo conversion car = 2:00....

    You guys need to do a SERIOUS update on this thread LOL

    Randy


    JCW R56 goes 1.24.103 at Street of Willow

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just heard from the ABF / MINI USA Time Attack team that after all the fuss about the 1.27s last year that they decided to go back out today and try to miss the 1.26s and go straight into the 1.25s.

    The biggest problem as you can see is that Dez and the MINI went into the 1.24s and nearly missed them and ended up in the 1.23s

    What is more astonshing was the above was acheived on the Yokohama 180 treadwear street tyres and not slicks

    All you JCW owners dont know how lucky you are to have such an excellent platform

    Since the last outing the ECU has been re-tuned by the Mynes team to have its useable power band moved upto 7500, this and other prototype engine and suspension parts have worked togeather to run this truly outstanding time.

    There's nothing like proving yourself at the TRACK......

    Yes, it is nice to see a company actually test their products on the track and show improvements and break some new ground.
