Do they ever rub in the back? Near the bumper reflectors? I'm running 225 45's on an 8 inch rim right now and it's rubbing a bit.. What's your suspension set up like?

 

Installed my Helix I/C

 

Yes got mine installed as well. Running about 8 degrees cooler.

 

That's awesome! I didn't get to full temps on the WT read. But lucky you didn't on jacks..I did it with no jacks. Also forgot to put my stupid air ducts back on, I will do it Wednesday. Nice splitter! Love the green.

 

Yes, I wish the splitter was a little wider to fit the 2013 better. Otherwise it works well.

 

I get a slight rub on the right hand rear if I am in a rather hard left turn and hit any kind of bump. Its very slight and has been that way for about eight years now

I am on M7 coil overs and down approx 2 inches all around .

Hmm mine rubs on the other side, thanks for the info!

 

Regardless, your MINI is "purtty MEAN looking!"

 

I painted my chrome wing mirrors black!

Thank , we appreciate all the great comments.

And keep the mods coming along with pics

 

Had windows tinted. Love the look

 

drove it like i stole it all weekend till it was filthy

 

Loaded a whole bunch of "stuff" (mostly parts for my other car) from my storage into the back of the car. I'll be putting those in the garage after I get home tonight.

 

rotated tires after 3500 miles, changed oil from 3500 miles. found a slow oil leak from the oil pan gasket.

Thanks. It's a work in progress,have lots of mods coming up soon. Or sitting in my TV room waiting for install.

 

At 3500 miles? Wow.

 

Removed the stock, cardboard floor mats and installed Rubbertite floor mats.

Comparison of the rear stock paper floor mats vs. the Rubbertite mats.

 

Ordered some of these for the rear, looks like one of my stock links is bent and the stock ones are flimsy as could be so I decided to go this route

 

Have you ever used solid, pillow-ball end links before? They will be noisy.

 

put in new rear pads and rotors.

 

Especially those ones.

 

Got the Scangauge II mounted and currently monitoring:
1.) Boost
2.) Volt
3.) Water Temp
4.) Intake Air Temp

Researching X-gauge codes in hopes to display oil pressure and/or oil temp. I was informed by a fellow NAM member (Thank you, danjreed) that Linear Logic would be able to program oil temp. If all else fails I may just have to pay to ship and have them do just that.

The Marshall Gauges are on my radar. Maybe down the road. We shall see.

Cheers everyone!

 

Thanks for the heads up, doesn't bother me... If I wanted a quiet car I would have never bought a mini

 

Good Choice!!

Only if they have not been installed properly.

So how come mine that have been on for close to a year and half have not made one peep??!!

Don't bother with the nay sayers...they have no idea what they are talking about!!

 

Figured as much
