2nd Gen R56 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: Which Tune??

If really want to explore a tune for your ride go to the best. Jan /RMW.

I'm nice & calm, but thanks for worrying about my crackage Dave. So there is a different red line for an automatic? I was sure they were the same, but at my age I ain't sure of much.

 

I suggest getting your suspension set up before adding power. What year, model do you have? Also welcome to MA. There's a ton of MINI experience here to help you......and yes, we like to see pictures.

 

Forget the tune on an Automatic. Your best bet would be to dump your OEM runflat tires and get real tires. I am in the Philly burbs and I know what you mean by crappy roads.

 

Welcome to M/A! However, contrary to Dave.O's "advice", I say, "go with a Jan tune for an automatic!" My S is a Gen 1 automatic and Jan's tune has done wonders for its get up and go. However, first I would work on something suspensionwise...at least strut tower reinforcement plates to keep the strut towers in check and to help prevent mushrooming as a result of your crappy roads. Or, go get some Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates. they will reinforce your strut towers while helping your cornering, etc. Then, I'd go with a 3 hole adjustable rear sway bar and some better springs [mine are TSW and I really like them].

Just my 2c.

 

OK, he has an automatic...so, what's your point? So do I and I can STILL drive ok, I think. A Jan tune will still improve his performance...it has on MY AUTOMATIC and I TRACK MINE...do you? So the sift points are not as crisp as on a stick shift...as long as I am having FUN while driving any of my MINIs, I could care less about being "shift perfect".

 

Ok calm the F down people I was not trashing the automatic so get your panties out of your crack.

When it comes to having your car tuned you will get more max HP and Tq out of a stick because you can rev higher.

It's that simple so calm down old men and take your geritol. :lol:

GET OFF MY LAWN. :lol:

 

He is usually at MOTD, and seems to appear all over the country. You just need to talk more to Dave.O and perhaps Eric at Helix to see when he will be in the East.

 

What is it you seek from a tune?

 

I have had an RMW tune for years and love it. Yes, Jan will be able to add more power but you will be a little limited because of the Automatic and it's shift points.

Where are you located?

 

Nothing wrong with automatics. I may see one in my next car. Don't have a tune, but from what I gather RMW is the guy to do one.

 

Ok well Jan comes to Helix in Philly every year to do custom tunes on the Helix Mustang Dyno.

 

Ha...you old sticky shifter...great minds DO think alike, and almost AUTOMATICALLY! :devil:
