I'm slowly learning that remaps are coming out for it, 291BHP in 1200KG car should be great fun

added a few things and it was still over 250 quid a month cheaper than the 45.
They were originally supercharged, but turbos are more efficient at developing the same power. We had one with a SC and it made a great noise!

Thats not bad for acceleration and in towns, at roundabouts, etc they are great fun. That was without the remap

It won't be anywhere near as quick though mate.

I've just given mine the full Litchfield Stage 2 treatment. Over 450bhp now....... goes like the ****ing clappers and sounds like a GRP B Rally Car. You sold out just now the A45 scene is starting to get interesting.


Anyway.....

Be good to see some pictures of your new beast mate..... I do rather like the Mini. I'm sure you'll love it and perhaps you'll keep this one!!

Of course it won't , should be fun though with the power been low down. Tomorrow she goes, I removed everything today and gave her a hug. It's been fun but novelty has worn off, to me it was just burning a hole in my pocket. I need to move house so money's best spent there, and at least the kids will look up to there dad and thank them it's not Blackpool this year but Disney LOL

I've just put my Litchfield Tuning Box up for sale mate. If it goes over the weekend, I'll give you a nod over the Becker. I don't actually need it, but I'll buy it if I sell the TB.


Yes mate... Stage 2 has utterly transformed the car and wasn't slow before.

Litcho took it out with me when we had finished mapping. He said it now feels like a tuned mini GTR.

A45's good craic, i've only driven one for about an hour or so, but it felt like it always seemed in the wrong gear, and you end up using the paddles?
Apart from that, cracking car

Jesus: so he wants to be able to load his suitcases on the roof, whilst having his cycles strapped on, whilst he plans his next road trip on his sat nav and he wants to get there quicker!

What... you mean you had to change gear on your own. Heaven forbid mate.

I know, that came out all wrong.

I meant it you want to use it on track, then you shouldn't have it in auto mode.

How much for the tuning box? What power does it give? easy to install?

Tuning box was sold within a few hours of being put up for sale. They can be purchased new from Litchfield @ £600 inc vat. They are easy to install.

Details on what this level of tune provides can be found in my A45 project thread..... linked to within my signature below.

Any questions, please feel free to ask away on the Project Thread.
