Timski
112k miles

I have some receipts from previous owner but No record of ever having a walnut blast until I took that photo before we did it at home

I've had it for 2 months

I have a set of 17" Koenig feathers with eagle f1s waiting to be put on

Has had new timing chain and tensioner, vac pump, lines, spark plugs, air filter, and Alta spring equipped boost actuator on turbo.

Next is 3" catless down pipe and manic tune with switch.

Then new turbo, Alta 3" downpipe back exhaust, FMIC, boost piping, and possibly water/meth if I can find a way to not put a tank in the hatch area. Wife's car, and she won't like that idea.

Nice. Sounds like someone is having fun or about to. Ha
So no catch can installed?
Trying to see a correlation between dirty valves and no catch can installed.

We just bought this around Christmas. We had been eyeballing it at the dealer for some time and the price dropped so we got it. I have been working on BMW/Mini at work for quite some time, so I knew what to look for. The car came with poly suspension bushings, H&R coils, Alta rear sway bar and lower control arms and only has 40K on the clock. All recalls have been done and we have Autologic at work so I am going to update and code it tomorrow. So far I love the car.....

Wow , this is a super rare, factory JCW with hypersport ( sport aero ) body kit and MINI R99 BBS wheels. Nice Find

https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/Mini_R99/




Those also came in polished and gray metallic, one of my fav Gen 1 MINI wheels.

OH, these wheels are indeed very nice. I went to the ECS site and while it states it fits ALL Minis', I see a note at the bottom that they will not work on "17 wheels with JCW sport brake".

So, does this mean they would not fit on an R56 JCW that currently has 17" factory wheels? Does anyone know if this is a Gen1, R53 wheel only?

thanks.

There is a bug on the site for the fits section on some parts, please use the drop down menu for your MINI to confirm fitment.

Those will fit the Gen 2 MINI , but not a direct match up unless spacers are used for the 17" JCW sport brake option. I believe it was a 10mm spacer.

You don't see painted wheel arches very often. Those were not done at the factory were they?

IIRC, I pulled the Vehicle Order with Autologic the other day and it called for painted wheel arches. I will double check and let you know....

My 2015 JCW all factory




[I]Posted it before but worth another view. This is my all factory '15 JCE. Decided to keep this one stock. Who knows maybe I'll try for a 2018 after I see it.

My new used 2013 JCW! White Silver and Championship Red leather. Some cool unusual options include the factory coolant temp and relative boost gauges, the JCW leather/alcantara instrument panel, JCW Strut Bar from the factory, and a full clear bra on the front bumper, hood, door edges, inside of door handles, and rear bumper load edge.
