The Flamers replacement - Mini Cooper S

[welshname]

Deposit placed on the next car and pics will appear on Friday!

You tease

 

[Djw John]

It's not much of a surprise

 

[welshname]

So it's a Clio lol

 

[yeecup]

Lol!!!

 

[Djw John]

Yeah yeah yeah. What can I say, I know what I like!

 

[Gally]

God I hope it's a 182 because if you've bought another flamer I think an intervention is required.

Although they can be a ball ache... you know them so so well and they're great cars. I think a 182FF in decent nick is a great used buy just now.

 

[yeecup]

Come on spill the beans!!

 

[Djw John]

Ach fuckit, I've already said on FB. Deposit placed and train booked, getting this on Friday.

I did enquire about a flamer! But tbh I wasn't too fussed about it this time. Whereas I really wanted RB!

Nice'! Love the colour, great choice.

 

[Djw John]

Cheers! Seeing as how trophys are too much it had to be rb over any other 182 colour for me

 

[welshname]

182 cup. Very nice

 

[Djw John]

Thanks very much, more excited about picked it up than I was the mini! More f**king road tax mind you. And another call to the insurance. Bugger.

Badly needs cupped 182 alloys, I've never thought silver works with rb

Top Nick though!

I've also never got the mini thing, my mrs has an r56 and its handling is weird , seems to tram line like f**k, oh and it rattles as bad as any Clio I've had

 

[welshname]

Disagree. But 15" ftw on the 1*2's

 

[Djw John]

It won't be staying on F1s for long but it will be staying on 15s!

 

[yeecup]

Would look epic on anthracite 2118s .......

 

[Djw John]

Doubt it's low enough to pull them off tbh

 

[imprezaworks]

Can I have the washer blanks please

 

[Djw John]

No!

Can I have my mats back?!

 

[imprezaworks]

Swapz?

 

[Djw John]

Na, easier to get new mats than new rb blanks! I'll keep an eye out for some though

 

[alistairolsen]

Shotgun the interior when you tear it out and chuck it in the skip

Welcome to the bought a mini didnt like it club.

I'm at Platinum membership as I kindly modded mine for the next owner before selling it on at a loss :coldsweat:

Like that Clio!

 

[yeecup]

cant remember the last time i saw a racing blue 182 on the road. really suits them imo. look forward to seeing it at knockhill this year.

Glad I'm only in the bronze club! Spent about £180 on it so it's not the end of the world.

Cheers all, really looking forward to getting it, it'll be odd having a Clio with cruise! It's pretty much the perfect spec for me, cruise, cup alt setup and no auto wipers! Set of xenons might find their way onto it in good time

So no aircon?

 

[Djw John]

Nope, which is fine by me tbh. Cheap belt changes!

 

[alistairolsen]

Haha if it hadn't been removed already I'd still have it on the track car, let alone a daily 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

faster with no aircon

Tbf it was still on the flamer. We'll see if I miss it or not!

 

[alistairolsen]

faster with no aircon

Like decats and 'performance' airfilters, not really if it's switched off, the difference is tiny. For me its only the fact it's already done and if it wasnt, the possible risk of spitting belts that would make me remove it tbh.

 

[imprezaworks]

I have a performance cat and induction kit. It's definatly fastest round here.

Love RB!!!! Wheels really don't work. I think I saw an RB on Anthracite F1s before and they looked good?

Don't put TDs on it...

That'll be Joe's old one. His ran anth f1's for a bit and red ones

 

[imprezaworks]

I liked the red on joes

 

[Gally]

The Red was cool. Especially when a tad lower.

 

[Djw John]

I'm thinking of getting my anthracite willys tidied up...

 

[Adamm.]

I always fancied anthracite 2118's on mine and some lows with coilovers to suit the 15's.

I remember seeing a 172 on willy wheels though and looked good. Just need good lows to pull off 15's. Nice motor mate, RB is the best on a 182 imo.

 

[Djw John]

Cheers, tbh it won't be going any lower than the sportlines, been there done that. It's the best height for driving them day to day IMO.
