Hi everyone its Jake with Battle Mini. I've followed NAM for years for insights and knowledge for our great Mini Coopers. I've never made this first step in posting so here goes.
I've owned my R53 JCW Mini Cooper S

for 2 years now.
So far everything has been positive. I love working on her. The challenges have been fun and irritating to work through. Over all I'm impressed with these little cars. So mush so that i've started making aerodynamic parts for them and more performance oriented items to follow.
I daily drive my 2005 MCS and track her about 10 or more days a year.
The following are my upgrades that I have installed:
Sprintex Supercharger
Revolution Motorsports Street/Race Header
Revolution Motorsports 450cc injectors
Revolution Motorsports custom tune
JCW mid pipe to 3" axel back to SuperTrapp diffuser discs exhaust
MDS Coil Pack

Welcome to NAM.. What size pulley is on your Sprintex? 69, 64 or 60mm?

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to NAM, thanks for taking the time to get involved.

You ever had a dyno done to see what type of HP/Torque you are pushing?

 

Welcome to NAM, Jake. Great looking R53!

 

Welcome, I am surprised you have not posted on here before. Your MINI gets all the attention on IG. One of a kind MINI for sure.
