So im starting a post of my Mini project ive had my Mini for a while...117,000 miles and though it would be fun to do a little write up on what I have done so far and post pics...of the vehicle currently and as the mods go on.

So I have a 2006 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works with Checkmate package blue and silver out and in.

I have have done so much maintenance prevention on my Mini and will post in full detail everything that was done.

here is the list...
Oil change every 5-8k
Brake fluid 110k
Belt tensioner 110k
M7 supercharger pulley 110k
M7 2%crank pulley 110k
M7 strut bar 110k
coolent changed out at 110k
MSD Coil Pack, Wires, and NGK Plugs changed at 105k
upper strut mounts100k
water pump 100k
power steering lines 100k
power steering fan 100k
stage 1 fan harness replaced 100k
rear brakes 100k went with oem brakes

thats the list for now im sure im forgetting something.

upcoming changes...will post before and after pics ... suspension
M7 springs (have them waiting on other parts)
rear lower control arms, rear sway bar, control arm bushings, front sway bar bushings, upper and lower ball joints will be replaced, and replacing seized tie rods and thats going to be it for now. (I have all the parts pics will be posted before all the suspension and after) planning on installing in just over a week.

planning on getting new rims

Enjoy and happy motoring to all...:-)
