Hello world!

Hello, my name is Erick Ordaz, I have a 2012 Mini Cooper S R56, white with a black roof, with a few basic modifications but it has already given me a lot of headaches for being so mousy or lacking in space, I have traveled to many places with He and lived great adventures, even facing terrain that not any mini would go through and he has never disappointed me, I have learned about mechanics over time and that is why I would like to thank the community since for just over 2 years we have I have this little toy, they have been of great help in every step that I have taken in learning about the mechanics and how to solve common problems in this mini territory, from basic maintenance to some basic modifications, but I think that like most, at some point we screwed up. and we need some help to solve those problems that drive us crazy with these carts, I have finally been encouraged to register and thus not only learn more but also help whoever I can, since I have been able to verify that many of the topics of the forums at some point, because we are self-taught handymen, we are going to face these challenges. Thanks again and I look forward to offering my help to anyone who asks.

Hi, I have the 17's installed from the agency and Toyo Proxes tires, which has not prevented me from getting stuck on the beach or on a dirt road more than once, but with cunning and patience I have managed to get out of the jam.More than once I've bent the rims and I'm thinking of changing them for some XXR's.
