I know...... the small one at the bottom of his sig said "pooper"

 

hey monica,
where you tackin' in october? i'm at the new nj motorsports complex august 5th (have heard rave reviews)...but nothing after that. would love to join you and dave.

 

ooooooh, lucky you! I've heard awesome reviews about that track already! Let me know how it is! And have fun!
I'm going to Pocono. Going solo... the hubby's going to stay home and watch the animals
I'm going to driving school through my BMW CCA chapter... gotta be a member though. It's a 2 day course.
Can't wait!

 

I have a mini one 1.6.. and it's modded to beat stock cooper's =D is that ok?

 

Go R50 go R50...atleast im pretty sure thats what it was. Im sure its a bit dif under the bonnet

Im all about my R50 justacooper! Gotta REP!!

 

I thought the Mini One had a 1.4L in it?

 

yup, 2003 Cooper.

Under the hood, the only differences are a CravenSpeed MCS air filter stuck on the throttle body, a Borla exhaust, a UUC flywheel, and a Spec clutch.

The engine is pretty much stock, with 120,000 miles on it.

All the "work" was done in other places. Mainly the suspension, but some weight reduction also (2421 pounds right now - still needs to be lighter)

 

WOW Awesome work. I bet its really sweet. 120K!?!?!? wow that gives me good hope, i am about to roll over to 100,000 this week....aghhhh im scared .

I love the borla exhaust, def one of the best

haha i used a lot of smiley faces...sorry

But good work keep it up.

 

'03 Coopers are getting up there in mileage eh. Mine is at 127K now.

 

WOw now i really do feel better. Have any serious problems yet? If you dont mind me asking.

 

I'm on 3rd transmission, 2nd clutch, 2nd driver-side wiper motor, 2nd passenger side power window motor, and various nicks and scratches here and there.

But the Hawk brake pads I got at 30K still don't show wear.

AND . . . I still LOVE MY MINI!

 

HOLY CRAP Im really scared now...

I think my driver window motor is going bad. So you bought break 100k miles ago and they dont show any wear????!?!

Imsure whatever happens to my mini ill still love it

 

Well, I don't drive it where I have to brake hard a lot. Learned my lesson years ago.

 

yeah i hear you there, i downshift a lot also. It has become habbit now, cant stop myself from doing it. I also try to practice heel-Toe whenever i can

 

There were 2 Mini one's(gasoline)
1.6 90bhp
1.4 75bhp

There was also the diesel model
1.4d 75bhp
1.4d 88bhp

Comparing to the cooper the only diference to my car is the ECU map and the lettring(and maybe 1 or 2 extras)

 

Ok see now im confused, whats the difference between my 03 R50 and the One? I thought i had it figured out...but now i dont know....

Hey two more post and you'll be in 2nd gear

 

ONE is 1.6 90bhp
Cooper is 1.6 115bhp..

Diferences.. ECU map and one or 2 minor things

Remap a ONE.. and voilá... you get a cooper..!!

2nd gear is on!

 

...Ok so how do i know is mine isnt a one... kinda embarrased but hey im curious now.

Almost there with those post!

 

Just found this thread... any room for an fairly new owner but a gorgeous MINI?

I await on pins and needles - - - - ok so I'll just refresh my screen in a little while
