Post up here. I'm in West Loop area.

 

I'm near Sox park

 

We need a downtown meet up.

 

Hey 3rdcoast; I know you said a downtown run, but If you're willing to travel?

There is a chance to set the new world record in Mackinac 2017!!!!!

 

Ill be there.

 

Lincoln Park

 

Ill revive an old thread, anyone in the city?

 

Still in LP. There's a few of us here. Although I haven't met anybody yet. Where you at?

 

Im up in wrigleyville. Just bought a f56 Mini.

 

North Center/ St. Bens/ Bell School neighborhood[ pick your Real Estate naming of our area....
Just bought our 4th MINI, so I guess we're still loving the brand...

 

Yeah, I love mine so far. I am a little particular, so I am going to end up modifying things quite a bit.

 

C00per99 - I was wondering if you might be interested in an exhaust for the F56. It came off of my F56 JCW. I believe it is a decent upgrade for an F56 S.

 

Thanks, but I have the 1.5, so the exhaust is setup differently. I am actually thinking of trying to just delete the muffler altogether. I have a lot of ideas on where I want to take this build. I was actually very surprised at how much I enjoyed the B38 engine.

 

I started with the Justa. I believe that is a good route for the exhaust. I even read where someone actually went straight pipe. I did an intake and the Dinan Sport to give my Justa a little extra. Very enjoyable to hear the turbo and the electronic BOV. I would also do the Craven Speed Big Pair. I actually have the stock JCW springs and RSB if you are interested.

 

I am actually planning bc coilovers, the big pair, an nm rear sway bar, adjustable end links and 5 mm spacers (I like the stock rims and don't really feel like buying new ones, but need the clearance).

 

Found this old thread, forgot I had a prior used name, 3rdcoast is now F56mini. Will be at the drive in Wisconsin this Saturday.
