So I am stationed on ft bragg in NC I just picked up a 2003 cooper s. Mcs came with a pully (I am assuming a 15 it looks like the wmw pully)also a black DDM intake with foam filter. The previous owner never mentioned it and had no idea of what was there. It does have a clean car fax and the supercharger just had its maintenance done 3k miles ago. Along with rotos and pads. It is very clean inside and out the interior looks pretty much brand new as well as under the hood is perfect
Is there anyone that can help me see if there is any other modifications done to it and where to look for the most common harder to spot ones. Also the suspension is very firm but it handles l8ke a dream and it looks newer as well as a tad bit lower but I can not tell. (It sounds dumb but from pics its hard to tell and not to many mcs around to compare.

But I have been lurking on the site for a while and it seems like a good place to learn more. And I will admit I think I am done with the american cars and In three weeks became a mini addict and the mod list is already growing and going to be starting. Looking ti buy a full milltek exhaust or do a custom catback with miltek header injectors and a dyno tune then start on some weight reduction and brakes/suspension so any tips are appriciated also anyone in the bragg area let me know wouldnt mind meeting some mini people.

 

1st Welcome aboard. The only thing I see that is evident is your intake that you already stated and Strut Defenders on top of you strut towers. Take a picture of the pulley and we might be able to answer that question. It appears your exhaust is stock from the stock looking exhaust tips. Take a pic of your struts and rear sway bar. Then we might be able to tell you if you have any mods to your supsension. Look under it and see if you have 2 mufflers or one. If you have one, then you have the one ball mod. Anyway good luck.

 

I will take pictures of everything tomorrow and it does have two mufflers. But who ever installed everything on the car did a great job and really took care of it so that is a good sign. And it runs and drives perfect.

 

Welcome it could very well be one of our old customers with our pulley and a DDM intake, and I see some M7 strut plates. All very popular mods.
Pics will def help and if we can help we will.

also if you want an exhaust check out our WMW strat exhaust it's on sale right now with FREE shipping and equal to or better than the Milltek

Welcome from another Army vet (retired)! Looks like you picked a winner. Good luck and happy modding!

 

I had a 24 hour shift so it took a day to take them hopefully you can tell

Also a muffler shop tryed telling me theres no way to do a catback with anything but glasspacks and needless to say I just waljed away from that shop...

 

Anybody reconize any parts in those pics. Im guessing its the mini mania 15% pully but im not to sure and anyway to tell if tthe springs are stock.

 

Struts,springs and sway bar appear to be stock IMO.

 

Cool car!!! My all time fav folks to work with are my Vets!!!!!

Support & thank our Veterans..............always.

 

Where did you tame your pics? I have a friend that lives near some apartments that looks like those.
