NO F*CKS given MINI Cooper?

So I am on a quest to make my mini into something special. What does it take to get the title “No F*cks Given Mini”
So far, I have H&R coilovers, Helix 17% pulley, some hand me down exhaust that goes under the battery box, rear seat delete, rear sway bar, 16 inch steel wheels, speed dawg shift ****, wood OMP steering wheel, and this new “looks comfy” Kirkey Seat…..

What else can I do to ruin my mini?

Just not sure what to make of your thread title to give you any more than that right now.

The thread title reminds me of the NFG Miata. Anyone else see the review of this Miata a few weeks back?

IF done proper a burnt mini could look nice....

The R53 is the best of all the MINI’s. It’s when BMW made a MINI and didn’t give a *****. I am trying to make a car that other mini owners won’t wave at.

^Yep, Corbin's Zero Fs Given RX 7 is way better, and very cool. Those of you encouraging Mr. Six to burn his car need to lighten up. I say go for it!

Custom Seat Bracket for Kirkey #56200LW

I am building a fixed seat bracket for a Kirkey #56200LW, spent about 1.5 hours last night.

Kirkey Vintage seat installed. Part # 41500V

So since I do give a ***** and want to be able to put my stock seat back I made brackets to work with the Kirkey Brackets.

well, all of the carpet needs to come out, as well as all of the interior plastic. Replace your inner door skins with a sheet of plywood or aluminum, and affix the cable from the door handles directly to them through an eyelet.

Get rid of the dash, mount the gauges directly to a 2X4 or again, a custom metal dash, screwed in above the steering wheel.

Knobby tires, for street use, obviously.

Cut off the Catalytic converter, and run straight pipe from the header, out.

Replace all of the windows with Lexan, or better still, wire mesh.

Kind of looks like the rear seats are still in there, under that plywood? Those gotta go too.


Basically, if you wanna "give no Fs," think "redneck racecar"

those seats look pretty painful, just call the passenger seat "the neckbreaker"
