I'll update in a couple of days with a write up. Couldn't really get a feel for the new power increase last night due to the slippery roads but today it has impressed me on the way into work! I'll do a better report over the weekend.
Exhaust is £290 delivered from a MINI dealership up north. Speak to Chris @ Lloyd Blackpool - 01253 607500
The exhaust is loud when caining it, but quiet when cruising. Pops & bangs very nicely.
I got the wheels second hand for £500, in very good condition. Wheels only new are £1000.
I'm...
Me and a couple of friends went on a little photoshoot:
VXR meet was going on too:
The Mini is mine, I've added tints, colour coded rear boot handle and silvatec front indicator bulbs since. Pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago..enjoy!
Thanks mate :) It's the backbox off the JCW, I love the noise! Yep, same route everyday. Leave the Shoreditch area at 6.30PM and get in for 9.30AM. Where do you work? Was that not your normal route?
MPG is still 27MPG. Best I've had is 29MPG out of one tank lol. R56 prices have dropped pretty low over the last few months, try and buy one with the aero kit on it. Have a look on Total Mini & Mini Torque at cars for sale...
I'm enjoying the car, pretty happy with how it is atm. Every mod you do is gonna be expensive...
Think I'm gonna stop spending money on it...I want a bodykit £1k, JCW brembos - £600, remap and sports cat £600... you can spend so much!
It's in today getting serviced under the TLC pack (try and...
My backbox cost £300, panel filter £40, Forge FMIC & Sports cat are about £900 new but I picked up the intercooler s/h and hoping to do the same with the sports cat. Remap is £400.
The 5 spoke wheels are off the R53, not my shape (R56).
I really need some decent pictures, not crappy iPhone 4 pics!
Go for it!!
Current look:
Should be running about 230/240BHP within the next month or so. I've got a Forge FMIC & ITG panel filter waiting to go on, just trying to get hold of a sports cat now. Then the car will be remapped! Can't wait :)
Learn to take pictures first.
Then purchase some indicators to match the headlight colour.
Then just keep it mint. Replace suspension parts? No real need to modify it.
Sam, I've got a Toyota IQ aerial hanging around at home. It looks pretty good and the radio signal was only compromised very slightly! Shoot me a tenner via paypal and I'll send it over.
It's just like the Honda one but a bit slimmer, so it actually sits flush with the aerial base.
Re: i had skidded today and my front passenger wheel hit the curb then the back wheel
Why are you all laying into him? I know it's CS, but he's not blaming it on anyone else apart from himself...
