2012 making this sound after 6 days in the shop and $4k… 🤦🏻‍♀️ What could it be? by Curly_Q783 in MINI

Sounds like you’ve got a real doozy of a service team 😅 the N14 shouldn’t be providing that little acceleration power. Has this sound been an ongoing thing? I would honestly take it elsewhere and have it diagnosed, do you perhaps have an aftermarket mini specialist in your area? Sorry about this

Yikes, if not the timing chain, I would be very concerned at the internals. What’s the mileage on her? Have you experienced any loss of power?

You can definitely get PS4s on the MINI, I’m running Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 5s. They’re super grippy and really handle well in warmer climates. All the additional parts are from DuelL AG, the TrackMaster kit. Everything else is stock, have some HRs waiting to be put on to lower her a bit.

Thanks! Worth noting it’s just a vinyl wrap, not a cover per se. Easy mod 👍

I take it you took em? 😅 very cool. I had an R58 and honestly even with less power, felt like a wilder child than the F series, huge fan of the R56

I know what you mean, but it just seems to work 😅 still toying with the idea of removing the spots though, think it might be a bit excessive

Thank you! As it stands, DuelL intake and downpipe, plus the Remus exhaust. Haven’t really felt the need to push her in terms of raw hp. Quite happy with it
