Hello All,

I am on my 3rd mini. I have owned a stock 2002 mini cooper S and the HELIX electric blue test mule, which I put around 40,000 miles on, with no problems except your occasional police stoppage. After a delusional binge of buying a 2009 Nissan 370z, 1985 Toyota MR2, and 2004 Mazda RX8; I am back to the real world and in another R53 mini cooper S. This one is dark sliver 2005. I have attached a few pictures of the hornscraper build process. So far my friends at Helix have replaced, a worn motor mount and control arm bushings, I also had them install a set of H&R coilovers since the car was suffering from some major wheel gap. While the car was being worked on I decided to have Curtis throw on a 17% pulley to help the supercharger build up some boost. Now I just need some wheels. Check out my super custom plate mount.

 

Looks great!

 

good stuff Eric... Cars coming together. Vinyling will change it completely

 

I was thinking of these flat colors for wrap.

 

Nice car and welcome aboard

 

Is that roof wrapped or rust? Those wheels look like they have stocking nylon wrapped around them. Is this a new trend? I remember one guy did that to his headlights, much to the delight and ridicule of NAMmers.

 

too funny.

welcome back.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Welcome back to the MINI world. I did a similar path and strayed from MINIs for about 5 years.

 

Jealous you had an MR2, I'd love one of AW11's one day. Supercharged of course
