My wife and I just purchased a low mileage 2006 Cooper S from a friend of ours. Slightly modded: SC pulley, strut plates/lowered, DINAN airbox/filter, front splitter/side skirts etc.

Looking to make some great connections and learn some new stuff. Ultimately, I'd like to make some upgrades to the car for her cat-back, intercooler, tune, etc.

She's always been a musclecar lady but she wanted a Mini and loves every second behind the wheel.

Congrats on the R53, and welcome to NAM! You'll find lots of great info here on other mods & upgrades to make a good car great.

Happy Motoring!

 

Congrats on the R53 and the rare Dinan intake.

 

Thanks for the welcomes! Looking forward to some great connections and wealth of knowledge.

 

Welcome.......I like the side graphics!

 

Welcome to NAM and the world of R53 MINI Motoring. I love mine, and not only does it look like you got a great deal, but it looks great, too!

We have some handy maintenance and service guides on our website, so please visit, and ask any questions you like.

The R53 looks great next to the ZO6.

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

DEFINITELY looking to learn all we can on routine and preventive maintenance. It's such a nice well kept car, we don't want to neglect it. We just had the crank pulley and serpentine belt changed yesterday.

 

Congrats it's great to have such a low mileage car.
There are many different exh, but one of our stratmosphere exh would be great when you get around to it.

 

Are there any sound clips available to hear?

 

Nice looking R53 and Z06! Need more pics of both.

 

Agreed!
