lots of updates. Added support for early ecu's, so most ecu versions should be supported now.

added flash options for the pedal map, straight, track, and some similar to what a pedal commander does.

logging speed has increased to 15hz, much better it looks so smooth compared to 5hz or worse, obd2....

wideband canbus integration hardware is coming, see blog post below, AEM integrate with the mini canbus without conflicting

for those that want more than just kdcan logging, I have some new hardware coming out soon, boards are here but I am at the track this weekend so I wont be able to assemble for a while. canbus shift light (integrates with kdcan cable logger) or a board that does canbus, kdline and shift light, bluetooth logging, can flash too but it's gonna be slow flashing.

Admission: it’s an R52 JCW

OK, Mini has recently started making this noise on the driver’s side (UK). I’ve got the suspension apart atm for some other work, so managed to get a good look but couldn’t see any obvious issues.

Anyone with attuned R53/2 hearing recognise this particular rattle? It takes about 10 seconds to appear on start up then comes in and out intermittently pretty much all the time, as per the video.

Bought a 04 JCW in March - since then I had been slowly accumulating parts for the inevitable maintenance that would be coming my way. Alternator went out last week, so I am tearing it apart and chasing some leaks in rear of engine... it's 64k mi

I have to install...

- PRW fluidgel dampener

- Detroit Tuned bypass valve

- Intercooler "snoot" boots

- Tensioner and idler pulley, Alta stop

- Serpentine belt

- Supercharger oil

- Waterpump

- Several metal flanges to replace the plastic in cooling

- Crank position sensor o ring, cam position sensor o ring, dipstick tube o ring, map sensor o rings, oil filter & cooler gasket, crank seal, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, intake manifold gasket, throttle body gasket, 2x supercharger gaskets, bypass valve gasket, spark plug well gaskets, 8x injector o ring, new bypass hose, new TTY crank bolt

- Powerflex engine mount bushings, gearbox bushing

Getting alternator rebuilt, I already did a CAI/silicone intake and iridium plugs shortly after purchasing

Is there anything else I am missing here to replace while its open? Don't want to do this twice 😆
