My MCS was featured on Motortopia's Cars homepage in September 2006:

Motortopia member lotoole3 is the owner of this awesome 2005 MINI Cooper S. This is actually his second MINI after his first one was lost in a flood. Check out the great photos of his current MINI and read the journal entry about the "MINI Takes the States" rally.

Just got back from the last leg of the MINI Takes The States cross-country rally, which terminated at the Rolex Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park earlier today. We had the opportunity to be interviewed in-car by MINI USA while driving the leg from DC to Jersey City, some of which has been posted online, and may be featured in a documentary DVD.

DYNO RESULTS - 9/18/05

Helix Minisports and PhillyMINI held a member dyno day in September of 2005, with 3 runs on their in-house Mustang Dyno (uncorrected wheel HP) for a reduced rate. I hadn't had the new car long, but with my intended modification schedule I thought it would be good to get a baselne figure. I had done some things to the car, but not much (JCW intake, one-ball exhaust, and lightweight crank pulley). Here are the results:

BEST RUN: 156HP @ 6750RPM

That's a gain of 6HP at the wheels over stock S numbers made on the same dyno.

Now that I've upgraded the EMS with the latest JCW flash, and added a 17% supercharger reduction pulley, I need to go back to dyno to see how much it's improved.
