Hi, im Abdiel, a architecture student in Puerto Rico. Just bought a 2005 MINI Cooper Convertible last week and I could'nt be happier!

Im NEW to the MINI stuff, but not on the car scene, I have a GTI VR6 for over 7 years:




Anyway, here is the MINI:




My plan for a long term (1 year) it's to stance the hell out of the car, so I made this pchop


I already know the wheels and specs, my main doubt its the cois, searching I found this:

Yellow Speed, $870


Megan Racing, $889


D2, $890


Ksport, $910


Which are the best? I don't plan to track the car, just a solid ride when slammed and avoid the rubbing to the max.

Also have some noobs questions:
1-Mi manaul tranny works fine, just somethimes the gears don't enter nicely, I believe he needs new tranny oil, and with all the horror storys with the manuals trannys that had been failed...scares me!
2-The Power Steering Pump it's making a weird noise, i've heard they fails too...
3-What product should I use to clean and mantain the canvas???

Thanks!!!

 

Wel;come to the forum, have qualified MINI service technician take look at your problems

 

^^Yeah, I want to do that this week.

But need feedback in the coils and the canvas top

 

Welcome, those are some nice rides, glad to see you are enjoying your MINI!

 

I have Bilstein PSS9 Coils.. They are great for daily driving!

 

congrats

 

Thanks, I know about Vmaxx, Racelands, Rokkor, Bilstein PSS9, B&G, H&R, etc...BUT never heard 'bout those on the links... and they have a very nice price tag considering all the features they had.

-camber plates
-32 way adjustable dampening
-independient spring desing to have good travel

The only thing I know it's that Ksports rides too stiff on GTI MK5's...

Im a super noob in MINI's LOL! haha

 

Good luck with your mods!
