It will probably be the same car. I picked it up from Ipswich but it may have been in Essex at some point. And no it is back on the standard exhaust mate.
Yeah I will be Dan providing I'm not needed at work.
And your not alone more people hate them than like them it seems. Just personal preference really.
Enjoying the turbo at the minute, will have to see over my owenership whether I prefer forced or N/A engines. It has had all the recalls done, death rattle sorted although they still sound sh*t on idle. It's got a comprehensive warranty until March next year which I will be renewing.
Disagree...
The runflats are rock hard, and the ride is hard. But I've come from the Clio on it's arse so it isn't as amplified as it would be to most people.
And like I said I really don't see where people are coming from on the rattles front. Mine is absolutely silent inside. Not a single rattle or...
Think the parts were just worth alot more on their own than on the car. I could have bought the wheels off him as he still has them, but it needs to be slammed to pull the look off and I cba with that anymore.
And yeah I should be there tomorrow :)
Thanks for the comments lads.
Yeah this isn't the JCW, just has the body kit. 175bhp quoted but most reckon they make between 180/190 standard. Think its 190ish torque. The standard turbo is only good for about 210bho so I've read but it is something I may look into. Although it could possibly be wasted as I've hardly driven...
^ Agreed.
For reference, this is how the previous owner had. It get's me hard tbh.

Thanks mate. And yeah, I'm loving the fact I don't have to worry about speed bumps etc. In the 182 some places near me where a no go, and in the end I got fed up constantly being worried about the height.
If I do lower the Mini, it will only be on springs. My time of stupid lows on coilovers...
Right, well I've had the car a week today and I've finally got round to giving it a good clean and some pictures. At the moment I'm absolutely loving it, and in this thread I thought I'd also do a comparison with the 182 (which I really miss!). I'll also use it as a blog and update as I go...
I was properly raging last night.
And I'm suprised more people don't have two teams. I rotate using my gold and bronze teams and then get my fitness back up by putting the non playing side on the bench.
I've got 800,000 coins now. And a couple of days ago I somehow managed to buy a Ronaldo for...
Do you need a pressure washer to use Iron X? Or would a normal hose safely remove residue?
And what would people recommended as decent winter prep without a machine polisher? Something that will be durable.
Cheers.
I take it you have no first hand experience of Mini part prices?
It's probably a very clean cared for car, but I wouldn't touch one that hasn't been extensively looked after with history to back it up. Personal preference.
