Hello guys,
First, let me start off by saying I have had my r53 since august, and I love her! I am a college student, and my free time and money all goes towards my car. I recently sold my second e36 M3 in favor of something cheaper, and I thought I never would have found anything close to as good as her. Boy was I wrong! This Cooper is so fun, and shortly after buying her I did the 15% pulley, Helix CAI, H-Sport 25mm rear sway, and Bilstien Sports. Holy crap this thing is quick!! It handles so well, although I wont know the full extent of this until after the winter and I put some real summer tires on her, but it is an absolute blast. By far my favorite parts are the noise the charger makes at full tilt, and the quick, tight steering. Well, thats my rant, and I look forward to getting to know some of you! Just a fair warning, I am quite new to forums, and I will try to navigate around as best I can while learning the ins and outs. If I post a question or topic that has already been covered in detail, please just let me know! Thank you and Happy Motoring!!

 

Welcome to NAM! Sounds like you've got a great car going. Post some photos for us to enjoy. Nobody understands a MINI until they drive one.

 

Ditto..

Welcome to the MINIacs... I see you are fitting right in.

The Carlisle MINI club was just up in your neck of the woods, sharing the track with a Porsche Club maybe you can join us this coming spring.

Motor on!

 

As requested here are some pics. Shes not in great shape but mechanically she couldn't be better! Hopefully I used the attchemnt tool correctly
