GP 1616 has just been given a new home at WMW. I've wanted a GP since they came out and now I finally have one. Now my question is to mod or not to so we'll see how far I go.

 

Wahoo! Congrats!!!

 

Dump the runflats !
DDM Works GP Diverter !
Power Flex bushings all around !
TSW Engine Damper !

Congrats!
Shall I add you to the owners list?

Ofcourse you should mod it. You can always return it to stock. BTW thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. Jim

 

Wow! How cool! Congrats! To celebrate your acquisition of a GP, can all GP owners get discounts !?!?!

 

Congrats!

 

Congrats on the new GP.
I vote for Mods.

 

Lovely Jubbly

 

Pics! + Congrats!

 

Congrats on the GP!!!
I say mods that are not visible, no yellow wires, red MSD coil, Blue silicone pipes, aftermarket CAI, etc. I have a discreet 17% pulley that looks stock, dealer even shines his LED flashlight to look at pulley and see if there is aftermarket stuff every time and never notices.

 

You have to mod it! Start with your BVH head.

 

Congrats on your car you will love it. I love mine as well.

 

How can you NOT mod it?

 

You have modded Minis already, leave this baby alone she is a "Mona Lisa" and should be left as she is.

 

Nice

 

congrats, I'd say tune it, rear sway, camber plates and coilovers and be done modding it.

 

Outstanding! Will be interested to see what you do to improve on the GP. Let us know what sort of baseline you get and what you tweak it to. BTW, my Way-Tune on TRACKRAT is doing just fine.

 

Just got some pics I'll post ASAP

 

Lets try this


Here is the damage that totaled the car, soon to be fixed

 

Nice project car. Looks like you have a little work to do but in the end you will have a nice car.

I have to think the price was right??

Congratulations.

 

It is amazing the minor amount of damage that will total a car.
My 2003 MCS was totaled ($26,000) in 2006 by sliding sideways into a curb and bending the floor pan slightly near a seat belt mount.

 

Wait, you just got the GP and you crashed it already?

 

A track toy thats now a project car. Awesome!

 

NO bought it that way, I work on MINI's I can't afford a perfect one.

That silly rocker panel is about $700, I about had a heart attack.
