Finally got my mini
Its a 2003 Black Mini Cooper S
May have seen it on marketplace, i took 12 1/2 Hours of driving to Tennessee From south carolina to pick her up, the car was in amazing shape and the seller was a great guy and gave great informaton im looking to do more mods to it but here is what it has now, and pictures are off the add ill definitly be having some photoshoots with her and a build thread to show the evolution of her

This car has most of the Dinan catalog, including:
Dinan cowl induction intake
Dinan throttle body
Dinan Ignition coil / wires
Dinan underdrive pulley
Dinan FPR
Dinan cat-back exhaust
Dinan stage 5 tune, incorporating all mods
All of this nets 207hp

Suspension:
Koni FSD dampers
Hotchkis adjustable rear sway bar
Hotchkis rear lower control arms
Hotchkis springs (comes with original springs)
Ireland Engineering front strut Mounts
M7 strut tower reinforcement/ brace

 

looks great

 

NICE thats a sick car.. how much you pick it up for?

 

$9,500 worth every penny

 

how many miles?

 

97,000- only downside but very well maintained, with a new clutch and flywheel

 

great buy!!

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Sweet ride, congrats from the First State, Delaware. Looks like it was very well maintained. Great find, hope all goes well. Cheers!

 

Very nice looking ride. If I may make a suggestion, Lightweight White wheels. something like the OZ Alleggerita. The change in unsprung weight should provide a nice difference. Those S-heavies look nice but weigh a ton.

 

Yea my buddy has them i like those also, i think im ganna wait around on a nice set of bbs rs or lms to come around im obsessed ever sence seeing a few on here and M│U

 

 

Definately. The few MINIs rocking those BBS' I've seen on M|U look sick.

 

Very nice MINI and at a great price! Ditto on the lightweight wheels. They will make a world of difference.

 

Yep looks sweet!
Missing the rear DINAN badge.

 

I think dinan is shipping me onefor a cost since the car has 10pts of mods on dinan site so might get one havent gotten a reply yet i like the look of dinan and the S after it

and do light wheels really make such a difference?

 

Nice find. And another fellow DINAN S owner!!

Cheers Mate!

 

Nice, let everyone know its a DINAN!!!
Depends, not too much for DD, but for things like autocross competition, yes, especially compared to S-Lites that are over 26 lbs, also, smaller wheels provide better gearing for quicker acceleration off the line.

 

Very Nice MINI Charleston

 

Love the sig, Just got a reply from dinan and am faxing 11 dinan points of reciepts to get the badge

and thanks ghost
