I see that you are commited alright - to some serious performance . Not to dissuade the sale, as is, but I too might want a few items, if that's what it comes to...

Vented front fender-liners? I'm guessing these are for brake cooling... The RDR plates and car cover, if all-weather, sound interesting as well. I sound like a dang vulture .

I bet you are glad now that you didn't go with aftermkt seats .

 

ColoradoMark,

I LOVE YOUR RIDE!!~ I am also a IB/W Cooper S owner. All the mod you have in your car is everything I want to do to my ride! If you can solve the import issue to Canada, I am highly intreseted! Please quote me a price on shipping the ride to Vancouver BC. Canada. Thanx! Can't wait to hear from you!

Toby

 

ARE THOSE 17" or 18"?? they look BIG!!

 

17 inch wheels - they probably look big because the car is lowered so much.

Bisch, thanks for the better picture. Maybe if I can get her to stand in front of my car I can get $30k for it! (I'll have to talk to Grant, she lives in the area )

 

This made it's way into my garage on Saturday:

 

nice ride.

i'm still waiting for you putting your car back into stock.

 

I have search around and I guess it would be too $$ for shipping + tax. I guess I will wait for you to part yout car, I am intreseted in the Coilover and the SSR rimz.

Toby

 

Hell, I might pay you $30k if you can just get her to turn around!

 

Can you give me some information on your SSR? what size tirez N stuff?

THANX!

Toby

 

It looks like a pretty tight fit. Does it firm up your chassis any?

Mark, very nice 993 in beautiful guards red I see. My old 911SC is a healthy getaway from the MINI on the weekends, consider keeping both and making the MINI your daily commuter (sell off some of the mods to make it more street-friendly).

 

would like to keep it - but the MINI doesn't work very well with my job. Kinda hard to put clients in the back seat!

There's someone on the board that might be interested in trading their Allroad for it - that might work, then I'll sell my other Audi instead.

 

well - since I'm not getting any buyers so far with all the mods I think I'll start taking it back to stock. The questions are: where do I start, and are there some of my mods that I should leave on for a buyer, even though they might want it relatively stock?

I was thinking of taking off the Unichip, rollbar, coilovers and Stoptechs, camber plates and lower control arm. Leaving the pulley, CAI, sway bar, gauges and Forge overflow tank. Sound like a reasonable plan?

 

Since you're thinking of parting out, I'd suggest getting it as close to stock as possible (picture something that would appear stock to a used car dealer lot). My rule of thumb for used aftermarket parts is 1/2 the price new. No matter what, you'll still be taking a big hit, but it's extremely rare to see a modded car bring in more than a stock one, and undoubtedly some buyers get scared off by modded cars.

 

Personally, I would never buy a pre-modded car. Because I know some jackmonkey, like me, was romping the crap out of it. I'd return it to "stock" and sell off the parts.

 

Mark,

Check your PM's.

 

Let me know if you are selling the rims and coilover.

 

I've got an open track day on Friday with MINI5280 club at Pueblo Motorsports. I think I'll start to pull off the mods after that.

 

Just sent an email asking about 4 of the items you might be selling.

 

Is that why you don't have more mods? :smile:

Kind of depends on the part. Exhaust systems, CAI's don't usually deterioriate. Wheels may not look as pretty but work just fine. If its just dirty knock 35 off and I'll buy it.

 

Just shot you a PM regarding your SSR's if you are parting out.

 

did you get my PM?

 

How do you get customer's inside the 993 ?

I might want the rollbar (with the model, God I love redheads!)
for the wife's car (yep, another redhead).

Cris

 

"How do you get customer's inside the 993 ?"
One at a time.

I hope to get the Unichip and roll bar out this weekend and have available next week.

 

pm'd you.
