Ok we picked up our new girl on Monday

I knew she had a few upgrades but now I know more

Pics with info to follow

 

Looks like an exhaust upgrade! Congrats and welcome to NAM

 

Sooo
I knew she had:

Borla street stage 1 cat back
K&N CAI

now after doing some Easter Egg hunt I find/confirm this!!


Borla Street - stage 1
K&N CAI
15% SC pulley
Oil temp gauge
H&K sound systen
JCW Shift ****
Hsport springs
Rear Sway bar upgrade ?? - not sure
Chip ??

 

OH yes plus more - you caught me uploading

 

Congrats--looks like a great ride! Welcome to NAM too!

 

Looks very clean, nice set of mods. You going to do some stuff with MINI5280?

Nice pictures and great color combo. How raspy is the Borla?

 

Thanks I did LOTS of research starting with this site before we stepped foot on a lot so I think we did ok .

One thing I found after 4 days is we have a small oil leak(2 drops after parked for 30 minutes) coming from the front, bottom, just offset(1 or 2 inches) to the passenger side (under the radiator) any idea what the leak is or do I get dig in to find it

I know what I am doing under the hood just not under th Mini hood so any help is appreciated

 

Possible we are always up for fun

Raspy - not at all the SC is louder

 

So the Hsport springs have the following :part # 's


anyone able to give me details on the rates /height /etc

TIA


Drivers rear - HSport # 199402010
Drivers front - HSport # 19840210

 

My '05 developed a similar leak around the water pump gasket. Apparently a very common issue. Nice looking car, btw.

 

My 06 had an oil gasket that leaked.. took it to the dealership.. and they repaired it..

 

Congrats on the new Mini and Welcome from North Carolina.

 

Thanks all.

So I confirmed today that she is sportin Hotchkis springs which also lowered her 1 inch asl well as Hotchkis adjustable sway bars front & rear

This just keeps getting better

Is there a way to tell if the computer has been flashed other then putting her on a dyno ?

BTW - thanks for the tips on the leak

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new ride. I like your color selection,
but than I'm biased.

 

Welcome to NAM & your new ride. What is the elevation there?

 

bs52 - we are at about 6200 ft here at the house but we are moving so up to about 8000 ft soon

We lived in Winona, MN for a few yrs and have friends in Madison, Lacrosse, and Stoddard - Madison is a fun town

 

Nice ride! And very nice mods!

Off topic... Madison is also the home of my favorite drum corps. Yeah, I'm a former band nerd, but I was a drummer so it doesn't count.

 

Madison Scouts Drum Corps ROCK

Be careful driving on those switchbacks in the high country. You wouldn't want to go over the side, its a long way down off of some of those curves. I lived in the Estes Park region for a couple of years bak in the early 80's, the MINI can handle the curves, it is the big stop at the bottom of the gorge that will do some damage.
