Yesterday I got the Works done on my Mini S..
Before: 162 horsepower (including Alta Cooper S Cold air intake 5+hp) ; 147 LB-FT of torque
After: 188 horsepower ; 173 LB-FT of Torque
Im trying to find a digital Camera so I can prove of this miniS because I know people assume "Oh he doest have it hes talkin shit cause he doesnt have pics"
The works costed roughly Nineteen hundred but I have a well paying job ..two actually :shuffle:
Im planning on getting Euro tail and headlights..and A supercharger pulley

I need Newfz to figure out the conversion for me... maybe you spent like
1611.65 USD
so... 1900 Can. = 1611.65 USD ???

1 US Dollar = 1.17890 Canadian Dollar
1 Canadian Dollar (CAD) = 0.84825 US Dollar (USD)
So that still seems like a lot of money to me... 16 hp for 1611.65 USD including labor is mucho dinero.

What would Technician say about that amount of money for so little difference in performance???? I think he'd say "GO KILL YOURSELF".

So 26 hp and 26 lb-ft of torque for $1,900 CDN or $1,609.35 USD
You paid $73 CDN per 1 hp 1 lb-ft of torque. You got ripped off my friend. You could have chipped your ECU for half atleast half that price and gotten equal performance.
Where did you come up with these numbers? Did you dyno the car? Scan the dyno sheet(s) and post it if you did.

suspension, new 18inch allow rims and a new clutch and brakes..and new clutch brake and gas pedal pads and gear knob... not like the gear knob does anything..thats why mine was so expensive because I got more then what the WORKS comes with

I believe Tech WOULD say... " Go kill yourself."
And 1900CAD is 1,609.35USD.

Apparently he also got suspension upgrades, new rims, a new clutch, and some new brakes. I guess after all that, $1600 or so seems a little more worth it.
