Impromptu GP Meet in PDX!

Now there's a rare sight!

Had some maintenance work done at the Mini Dealer here in Portland, OR. Turns out there's a kindred spirit there:





Plus here's 1292 fresh from her ECU reprogram back to factory to address missing VIN:

Your car looks great.
Your car looks lower than stock JCW, what suspension/wheels/tires are you using?

Thanks! Car is getting there gradually! Considerably lower and stiffer than a stock JCW, and way too low for my requirements!

Suspension: JRZ RS coilovers front & rear. H&R rear swaybar, wheels are 17" Enkei PF01 with Michelin Pilot Super Sport 205/45 ZR17 tires. I want to sell these wheels and put the original GP wheels back on. Let me know if you are interested?
