WOW! Great looking! How much more fun is it to drive?

 

WOW, looks great!

 

Siiiiiiick. I'm really diggin' the off-center stripe on the hood. Great touch. Btw, the seatbacks look cool.

 

I have never liked the way Cooper S looked but Ramsey is one of the best looking Mini's I have seen in a while! Great job.

 

Danny and Jan are bad influences......are'nt they?? Nice Overhaul! Looks great.What numbers did you lay down on dyno after all those yum-yums were tacked on??

 

Not bad, not my taste though. What i wanted to say was I noticed you blotted out your license plate in all the pictures except the first one. if the plate is the same you may want to edit that picture too.

 

MiniBoz - driving the mini is like no other. I have never experienced being so much in sync with a vehicle before. The closest feeling was with my old GTI VR6....but I can't really compare!

FD3SDriver - Thank u sir!

Fracky - thanks bud. Your seats are amazing and it does set u apart from the others.

drumsfire - thanks for the awesome compliment! The hard work paid off!

the platform - LOL! Yes, but they give the best advice! Like I said above, the mini was suppose to be a daily driver...and I didnt want to get stuck in LA traffic with a manual. So I opt for the dreaded auto. With all the upgrades and Jans Tune....he was able to get it up to 202.5whp with 193lbs. torque. Not too shabby for an auto. He actually mentioned that its one of the few autos that he was able to go over 200whp. Now I wonder how much more I can get with a RMW head.

Browser 23 - thanks for looking out! I updated the image.

 

That is some sweet looking ride. Now its a super-commuter. What does it dyno at? But regardless that is one of the most b-e-A-utiful rides around!

 

Thanks HULK! - haha. Dyno'ed at 202.5whp 196lbs. @ 6500rpm...its an auto.

 

That reslly looks great.... Best of luck

Happy Motoring,

Larry

 

Nice! Ramsey sure did have a make over transformation, and some steriods under the bonnet. The Ronnie Coleman of MINIs

 

Thats an awesome perspective! HAHA

 

blackx5 that is one nice MINI you got there. I was wondering, out of curiouity how much did you spend on parts/labor over all? I am looking at similar mods.

 

PM'ed ya.

 

that's quite a transformation.
very nicely done.
