Hi Nam!!

I'm new to this cooper forum, and new to coopers in general. I bought an 02 MCS about a week ago, has 38k miles, and is in tip-top shape. I have some picts below, they aren't the best, but they get the job done.

I'm thinking about doing the following and wanted some opinions/advice.

power:
Intake
15% alta pully

suspension:
Alta springs (~1in drop)

Interior:
short throw shifter

I think this will give me a slighter better ride, without too much sacrifice.

some newbies here list their previous rides, so here are mine, in order, (starting from now, the cooper, and getting older)
2002 mini cooper S (yay)
2004 Subaru WRX (lightly modified)
1995 Nissan Maxima (lightly modified)
2002 Subaru WRX (Modified as my Track-monkey, )
2003 Acura CL-S 6MT
1995 Acura Integra (autocross car)

Let me know your thoughts.

 

Welcome to NAM! Lovely purchase you recently made. Gotta love CR/W.

 

What a beauty! Got a close up of those wheels? They look sparkly!

 

I don't but I could take some tonight for you. I love the BFG, g-force tires, those things stick!!

 

Welcome to NAM and the MINIverse. Love your color scheme.

CROC 411

 

welcoe to NAM.... love yr car..

 

You have what I like to think of as a very traditional looking MINI color scheme.
Thanks for posting pictures.. I think everyone new to the boards should post pictures so that the rest of us can drool.

The rally/driving lights appear to be mounted in a fashion I have never seen before.
Is this an aftermarket setup for the lights?

And Welcome

 

Very nice! Congrats and enjoy!

 

Welcome! I joined this forum last week and I have already learned SO much! I bought an 03 with 18k last month. I am getting the alta %15 pulley done tomorrow morning. Ill let ya know how it works.

I cant see your pics for some reason :(

 

The guy who owned the car before me put on that lightbar, I'm not a big fan of how/where its mounted and have thought about moving it, but I love the light!! I can send you more picts/details on it if you want.

Thanks!! I'm loving the car, and the colors. I'm feeling a lot of pressure to go from white to black, but I kinda like it. Definitely need to do something about all that chrome though...

I am really excited to hear how your pully works out. Where are you having it done? did you post some picts of your new car on here? Keep me posted, sounds like you and I are about to have very similar builds

 

I am having it done at a place called prestige-tuning in san antonio texas. I havnt posted any pics yet. I will do so shortly. Ill let you know thur afternoon how it goes. I think I will do a CAI intake next then save for some black rims
