New Houston TX R53 owner here
 

Hello all,

I recently purchased an 05 R53 here in Houston TX. I have been lurking through the forums on this site for a while and appreciate all of the info I have found so far. I have a laundry list of things I need to do to the car but am grateful to be here and have this resource available.

Tim

Welcome.:)

Lots of great info on the forum here.

Welcome.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Congrats on your gen 1 Mini buy!
Tons of info for your R53 here!
Pics?

Here is the only pic I have right now. Just ordered delrin bushings from WMW hopefully that fixes the tensioner rattle if not new tensioner is next. Doing rear brakes tomorrow. Need to do the valve cover gasket but am holding off to do it the supercharger service and pulley swap at the same time. I use this as my commuter 120 miles a day.

A nice Chili red with a white top! Make sure to change the trans oil and engine oil with synthetic oils!

Great looking car, (the fastest color...)

Hi Tim, Welcome to NAM and congrats on the recent purchase. As another member posted, that Chilli red with the white top looks very nice.
