Motolife126's MINI MCS R53-Towing Pics

Hello all, this is my first thread on NAM. I'm 18 and a freshman at BYU-Idaho. I love motocross and snowboarding. For my love and obsession for MINIs, I wanted to share mine. Let me know what you think and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks.

2003 MINI Cooper S R53:

Modifications:
-Outmotoring Hidden Hitch
-Outmotoring Stinger
-Alta 15% SC Pulley
-Madness Motorworks CAI
-17x7" Enkei Rims
-20mm Wheel Spacers
-15% Window Tint
-GTO Tail light Covers
-JCW Black Grille
-Tinted blinkers/Fogs
-Plastidip Headlights
-Black Side Scuttles
-THULE Roof Rack System and Fairing
-Various Interior Mods

For the winter I put on Bridgestone Blizzaks. Provide outstanding grip for snow and ice. Best car on snow, even beats 4x4s I've owned.

Trailer is a Trinity MT3 Motorcycle Trailer. With two bikes, the weight is about 1000lbs. MINI tows with ease even up the steepest inclines. Still get 22/30 mpg towing.

I love MINIs!

Welcome! Great looking car, man. I've been looking at options for both roof racks and hitches. I have a ZX6R I'm looking to track sooner or later so I'm weighing my options.

Cheers.

Yeah man! MINIs are surprisingly very functional cars. You would have no problem towing your Ninja to track days. Not to mention the looks you would get
