Description:

Selling my car and moving on to another platform. All my aftermarket and performance upgrades are up for sale. Prices are fairly firm. Most items will be able to be shipped at buyer's expense, but I'll work with you. Wheels will be pickup only.

9/23 - Added catback exhaust, Schroth Quick Fit Harnesses, and GP2 underbody panels

 

Picture Title Part Category Price Part Description
GP2/JCW Underbody Panels Exterior Body Parts $280 GP2/JCW Underbody panels for R56 Minis.

These are very large (the length of the car essentially), so I feel like shipping will be very expensive. As such, these may have to be pickup only.

Aerodynamic component that smooths airflow under the car.  Helps reduce drag and increases aerodynamic efficiency. Attaches to the car with plastic nuts on pre-existing studs. I've included all the nuts I used plus some extras, as well as the little steel brackets that secure the rear of the panels.

I've included a picture of the underbody with the panel installed on the left vs. no panel on the right to show how much smoother it makes the bottom of the car.
Sold
Flatout Suspension CS Coilovers Steering/Suspension $1200 Purchased October 2020, when Flatout called them the SR coilovers. They have since had a name change to the CS coilovers.

These are a set of extremely high quality/high end coilovers, well suited for daily driving as well as track use. I've daily driven these coilovers since I installed them and they have seen 6 trackdays. Inverted struts, 20-click rebound adjustable. They work amazingly on the track and are way more comfortable than the stock suspension for daily driving. 

No leaks. They have been cleaned up as far as I could without taking off the front camber plates. 

Will come with WayMotorWorks front swaybar links. Expect shipping to be around 100-150 depending on location.

Sold
Rota Titan 17x8 +40 Wheels and Continental ExtremeContact Sport Tires Wheels and Tires/Axles $600 Rota Titan Gunmetal - 17 x 8 +40
Continental ExtremeContact Sport Tires - 215/45/R17

Pick up only. Will not ship.

These have been my daily and track wheels since I bought them. They are flowformed wheels so they are relatively lightweight. These things look great and have been workhorses. They have their fair share of scratches and curb rash since they have been daily driven, but there are no cracks and overall are in great shape.

The tires have been on for a year or so, not sure the mileage. They've also seen 3 trackdays. Tires definitely still have life left in them. The W mark on the tread has not disappeared yet. The outside edges of the tires show some more advanced wear since I was running only a conservative amount of camber for the track.
Sold
OZ Superleggera 17x7 +37 wheels and Toyo Proxes R888R Tires Wheels and Tires/Axles $700 OZ Superleggera White - 17x7 +37
Toyo Proxes R888R Tires - 215/45/R17

Pick up only. Will not ship.

These were used as a dedicated set of track wheels and tires. Previous owner said they were powder coated. They are not in showroom condition. Brake dust stains and some scratches should be expected. One of the wheels took a big hit at my last trackday and there is a hairline crack. The tire is still holding air. It can most likely be fixed since it does not look too bad.

I used these for two trackdays. Tires are in ok condition but are getting close to the wear indicators.
Sold
GFB DV+ Diverter Valve Engine - Intake/Fuel $100 GFB DV+ Diverter Valve.

This thing helps maintain boost levels between shifts, only venting as much as needed rather than the stock system venting all your boost when shifting. Helps the car not feel so sluggish when getting back on the throttle after a gear change.

Everything is in great condition, I had no issues with it. The rubber hoses that came with it got damaged when removing from the car so you will have to replace them.

Sold
Motor Mount Upgrades (NM Engineering, Powerflex) Drivetrain $80 NM Engineering torque arm insert.
Powerflex street engine mount insert.
Powerflex street transmission mount insert.

Being sold as a kit, not really wanting to separate.

Inserts for your motor mounts to tighten up driveline movement. The whole kit cuts down a lot on engine and transmission movement, but also adds a decent mount of NVH. With the whole kit installed, my side mirror caps vibrated at idle.

All mounts are in good condition. Powerflex parts are discolored from the stock engine mount rubber.

Sold
Malian Catback Exhaust Engine - Exhaust $200 Malian brand catback exhaust for R56/R57/R58 Cooper S's.

I have not gotten this quoted for shipping so we will have to work that out.

Make your Mini sound like it's got some oomph! This exhaust sounds awesome and looks great. Nice and deep, not raspy and no drone as far as I can tell. Slip joint fittings, mounts to the OE downpipe. 

The tips could be cleaned up a bit but overall look decent. One of the pipes has some pretty good abrasion, probably from rubbing on a heat shield or something. There are no holes or leaks in any of the pipes.

I've made a quick comparison video of the stock exhaust vs. the Malian, found here: https://youtu.be/YD9iJ5U6zbA

Sold
Schroth Quick Fit Harnesses - Silver, Pair Interior/Upholstery $350 This is a pair (driver and passenger side) of Schroth Quick Fit harnesses for the R56.

I am selling them as a pair and do not particularly want to separate them.

Holds you nice and secure for the track or autocross.

Harness belts are in good condition with no fraying. One steel spacer for one of the rear mounts is missing but the harnesses can be made to work despite that. A new spacer may be able to be sourced from Schroth but I am unsure.

https://www.schrothracing.com/item/schroth-quickfit/
Sold
GP2/JCW Engine Bellypan/Undertray Exterior Body Parts $280 GP2 Bellypan for all 2nd Gen Minis.

Aerodynamic component that smooths airflow under the car as air passes the engine bay. Reduces drag and should help reduce lift by promoting smooth/fast airflow under the vehicle. Also helps keep the bottom of your engine a bit cleaner.

There are some small metal clips that you will have to purchase in order to mount this. I would have included them but I couldn't get them off my car.

You will need:

Do you have a pair of stock headlights already? I have a pair of Spyder lights (pre-lci F56 design). I've been eyeing the headlights you have.

I'd do a trade + some cash on my end if you need a pair of headlights!

Hey I actually still had my stock headlights so I ended up putting those back on the car.

Do you have any pictures of the Rota Titans on the car? What was your ride height? How was clearance to the suspension and fenders?

Here's a couple of pics in various lighting conditions so you can get a sense of the fitment. These pics are with a 3mm spacer in front and a 5mm spacer in the rear. Overall fitment was good with coilovers. I ran spacers in the front because I only had like 5-ish millimeters of clearance to the coilover body and since I was tracking a lot I felt better with a slight bit more clearance. Rear spacers were installed just to balance out with the front. Fender clearance was pretty good at the ride height in the photos. For daily driving I never really had any rubbing. On track in heavily loaded corners I could get a little rubbing of the fender liners but nothing too serious. With my previous coilovers with the ride height set lower I got a bit more rubbing in the rear, but even then only really if I had passengers and the car was heavily loaded.

There are actually a few extra pics of my car including some measurements on the Flatout Suspension website: Mini Cooper Coilovers [CS] – Flatout Suspension Inc

I’m actually going to be selling my car as well so unfortunately I won’t really have a need for a meth kit.

I definitely can! It's a pretty simple piece of cut ABS plastic or something. Mounting to the car is a very DIY situation. I ended up installing some rivnuts/plus nuts to the bumper and radiator supports so that the splitter was more rigidly mounted. It could be bolted directly to the bumper itself but I was always afraid of the bumper getting ripped off by aerodynamic forces.

I bought the splitter along with a pair of side splitters from a guy in Florida, but I never took the time to figure out how to best mount the side splitters. The whole package ended up being like $300 shipped from FL to CA. I would have to figure out a pretty custom packaging situation if I were to ship these.

Pictures below:

It's a retention bracket that helps support an unsupported side of the insert:

I daily drove with the NM lower bushing insert for a few years before I got the Powerflex upper inserts. By itself the lower insert wasn't very harsh. It tightened up the driveline a bit but also did add a little bit of extra vibration to the interior. Nothing crazy and nothing was rattling but you could feel it.
