Got a call from the dealer to tell me the car has arrived and will be ready to collect on Saturday



Sorry about the picture quality, Better ones to follow once it's fully prepared,



there are loads of bits of protective plastic to remove

Another convert, welcome fella :-)

Another convert, welcome fella :-)

thanks,

not totally sure on convert just yet,

I specced up the JCW for track use, but never used it in anger once in 3 years as i took my car each time instead, so I optioned the Ds3 as a second car rather than a racer now I'm using mine for that

but really looking forward to getting it with a long weekend to get to know it.

thanks, My wife has already claimed the first drive from the dealers, that's the first time ever,

last 4 cars I've bought her, she has insisted i drove them away.....

think its a sign of things to come

If you get a remap and a decent filter, you'll be almost at the same power as the JCW, and with the same performance, just in a better looking package

yup, thats my thinking too, I see 4 Minis just from pulling off my drive to the end of the road, we've had 3 in a row ourselves so bored now, I've not seen a DS3 sport yet except at the dealers, and one going the other way on the motorway the other day.


lowered, remap and filter are on the list, but the JCW is 210bhp iirc so will be a little way off still ?

plus committed to getting the heated seats to work......

[dave_beast]

The motorsport remap and filter should see 200bhp-210bhp, and the DS3 is lighter than a JCW.

Spax are doing coilovers for the ds now. Good ones too, just thought id mention it with your mini being track influenced
