I brought my 2003 MC in to swap the failing Midlands for a Getrag 6-speed plus a
Quaife LSD, and a Milltek header. While it's in, also doing the water pump as it's
getting old (11+ years), and the rear brake pads along with Tyrol caliper pin bushings.

The parts (lots of them!) took over a week to round up, and the tech that specializes
in MINIs is off until later this coming week, so it may take a while to get it all done.

Wish me and Bliksem good luck with the endeavor!

 

Upgraded to jcw exhaust with deleted resonator and 2nd cat removed. Sounds awesome!

Sound clip please!

 

Spent a good hour masking off and Plasti dipping my headlight rings black, then dissatisfied with the results I ripped it off and did the gas cap.

 

I flushed the coolant and made a mess. I only ran about 6 gallons of distilled water though her bowels before filling her back up with MINI coolant 50/50.

A little tip on the R53 pull the oil cooler hose off also when draining.

 

Finally finished my custom audio system. Rear seat delete with custom stealth downfiring sub box,amp in gps cubby under passenger seat e/ Polk MM1240DVC, Pioneer 9600 deck, Polk MM6501 in front doors, Polk MM651 in the rear qtrs, Arc Audio 5 channel 850 watt amp Xdi850.5. Since the polks are 2ohm I am getting 125w per channel and 400w to the sub....Sounde F'n killer Also dynamated the car and carpeted wear the rear seat used to be since its just bare metal under the seat.

 

I noticed after replacing my bypass valve that my MPG shot up by 4. The car also has a lot more crackle and pop. I have yet to reset the ECU.

 

First AutoX yesterday! It was a blast

 

I was bored and decided to start painting undercarriage parts…

Koni yellows and h&r springs

The RSe05's and BFGs are on the way for next weekend

 

Ordered three new keys

(2) remote
(1) standard

The price hurts, but what do ya do.

 

What did it cost? My car only came with 1.

 

How does it drive on the freeway for an extended period of time? I hope the drone is minimal....

 

LMAO. it took me a couple of minutes to figure out wtf you were talking about, then it hit me!

 

Very nice - we have twin pure silver Minis with bike racks! (Rare to see another PS with the matching roof and bike racks.)

 

New ASA AR1's just installed about 2 hours ago.

 

^^^Nice looking MINI you have there Minidaho ^^^

 

Rockeymounts look nice on the black roof w/silver.



Reds match the JCW Red / Chili Red almost perfect. we have them here with free ship and many different colors to change things up or to match your MINI.

Nice set up.

 

For two remote keys and a standard key It should come out to about $500 or so I will still have to pay the labor to have them programmed that cost is unknown. They figure an hour.

I'm in the same boat I only have one key and if I lost that I'm going to be boned bender style. I just want to get this out of the way.

 

Why only one key? Mine came with two.

That's the worst way to be boned.
