Hello all, I'm not new to Mini but I am new to NAM. I've worked for a Mini dealer from 2004 and still work on them today. I've always enjoyed the cars but have never had a chance to buy one. That all changed when an 04MCS with the JCW arrow kit rolled in for service and my GF loved it. I've worked on this car for years and the guy would buy everything. It had 47K on it when it came in this time and it had never seen rain. To make a long story short she traded her car in and now we are building this car.
We started with an Alta intake, then a 15% S/C pulley from there a 22MM rear sway bar. After that we did an Invidia N1 exhaust and Dinan stage 2 programming. We installed the little braces from the front strut tower to the engine carrying rails that come on R52s. We put a JCW shif **** on and installed the C/F dash panels out of #6 MC40. Currently I'm making poor mans JCW brakes for it. We have a front swaybar on the way along with the R95 JCW wheels and a GP intercooler.
As you can see we are really taking to this car. Well I guess that's my first gear start off. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

 

Welcome to NAM, Larry. Congratulations on finallying picking up a MINI! Sounds like you're off to a great start. Post up some pictures for us when you can.

 

Welcome, sounds like you are on track , nice mods. Like the R95 wheel , pretty rare as well as the GP intercooler. Are the MC40 CF pieces yellow or cracked at all ?
