Got this sexy black supercharged beast a few days ago. I should mention that im 16 and this is my first car, and i am still in the process of learning to drive a stick. But i love the car so much, it drives AMAZING! its a 2003 r53 s with not too many options, but its all stock, no after market stuff, except the tires. But, the tires are pretty much done, so what do you reccomend for new tires (keep in mind that i need the run flats)

very nice car and very good choice for a first car!! you don't need runflats heck you don't even want runflats. get some non runflat tires and use the money you save to get a small compressor and a can of fix-a-flat. Then use the rest of the money you save for some other mods.

 

Congrats, welcome to the club

 

ya, the car is awesome. I have driving a stick down almost. I stall sometimes, and probably ride the clutch too much, but i can drive it ok. and thanks for the suggestion, but i think ill stick with the runflats, i dont want to have to deal with that, the fix a flat doesnt work, my brother tried using it once with his suv. Ill get some more, much nicer pics up soon, i just have to stop driving it for a second to take some pics. this car is incredibly fun though, its kinda ridiculous.

 

Welcome to the forum, think over the run flat situation, new they cost double what a premium regular tire cost and the handling is 60% of the normal set up. If you insist check out the Marketplace thread here on NAM somebody is always trying to unload some run flats and you might save some bucks.

 

Nice MINI! 16? Wow.

 

welcome n congrats n yr 1st mini
