My story -- I searched for cars for nearly 3 months. I knew when the right car showed up, I would know it. I found an '05 S for sale about 95 miles from me. It was exactly what I wanted -- A visually upgraded car (rota wheels, coilovers, carbon fiber hood scoop, rear wiper delete), an untouched motor, perfect paint/body, AND low miles (49k). Searching Craigslist nets you a lot of ragged out ricemobiles or guys who are WAY too proud of their car....

Long story, not as long -- I picked up the car Friday. It is BY FAR the most fun I've ever had in a car. Hope is to have an intake, pulley, and either the one ball mod or an exhaust put on by next week. That is really all I want to do, maybe plugs.

I grew up driving cars fun to drive. Thankfully at 33 I could afford to have another toy.

Mini on...

 

Congrats on that R53! Enjoy that MINI!

 

Enjoy! I just got my R53 back from being in the shop for 39 days and I'm so glad to have her back!

 

A 22mm rear swaybar will put a big smiile on your face. Can't believe how it improved the fun factor of our R53. Congrats
