TwistedR56 Saying Hello with PICS****

Hey fellow Miniacs!

My name is Wes and although I am new to the Mini cooper game. I have dwelled in various cars and motorsports from Drifting my 87 E30 to circuit racing my 72 Datsun 510

Anyways I have high hopes for this R56 the day I bought it was the day she got put under the knife with some tasteful modifications

First on the list was the Forge front mount intercooler along side the hot muffler delete and a resonator delete.

Picked up a K&N induction kit for add choo choo

Unfortunatly I have no pictures of the build thus far but no need to worry.
this point on I will post much much more in the next few weeks as I build it for daily/track use.

So without further rambling let me introduce my R56.

Welcome. Looks like someone painted the calipers green and you also added the Gp2 rear diffuser, nice find.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Car is awesome and pictures really show it off. The picture on the water is really neat. If you try that here the car ends up frozen down.

Welcome.


Great looking car, some great shots and interesting back drops. good eye.


Not really a drifting car but when you do kick the backend loose it will put a grin on your face.


Motor On!

Oh no plan to get this sideways. hopefully the build will be more of track use with some power added.

I am aiming for 350+whp granted it will take a lot of time and even more money but it can be done

then after this motor goes I will take it out and replace with a K series and build the Mini motor for another project.
