Going ahead with my first bit of styling on the Mini!

Good point, I overlooked that, you should have mentioned it in your first post .

Since 90bhp to 130bhp is very skeptical

But if the Mk1 ONE engine is exactly the same apart from the ECU, then it's more believable.

No worries dude I guess I shouldn't mention Lohen's 150bhp One then

The One is identical to the Cooper. I always get confused when people refer to them as 'poverty spec' though - becuase essentially, the model One/Cooper/Cooper S tends to refer to just the power. As all the equipment is chosen by the customer from the options list to start with, it's just as easy to have a fully loaded One, as a poverty Cooper S

I personally know a fair few people who've had both Lohen and EssentialMINI work on their cars, so they are reputable!

Tis true...the one and cooper (engine wise at least) are identical.

I have read that the ecu in the ONE limits the throttle body opening! would you believe!!

Was your mini a works thepharcyde? I believe that would be more of a match for the 330 (auto )

Nope standard 170BHP 04 plated. Works 210bhp i believe, still doubt it. I was simply shocked at the performance difference between my previous Mini CS, and this 330. 0-60 respectable, its when its still in 3rd from 60 upwards. Above 4.5k this thing simply flys, but does it smoothly without the canning the cooper S required. Handling too, even though my Mini was on RF tyres is much better, the Mini used to follow every divet, camber in the road and bounced all over the place on uneven roads. BM feels glued to the road.
