New member, R53 Mini owner

Hi all, my name is Ulises, I'm from Mexico, I have had my mini around 12 years ago, it is a 2006 hot chili with some extra modifications.

I used to read a lot of information in this page regarding many topics, my last one was related brakes kit, I found some topics and at the end I decided for a wilwood 12.2 4 pistons front kit. And I wanted to share some pics and info that no spacers was required for installation with the BBS R90 wheels.

I'm not expert, but I like do some simple fixes, regular maintenance, and other things. It is in the plan change the pulley and motor supports.
I love the chrono pack version, I would like get a JCW but I'm very happy with the S version.

Very nice Mini. Those streets look like the Zona Romantica in Puerto Vallarta -- rough. Must be a beating in your Mini.

Hahaha, yes, a little. I'm in Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta is around 4hours driving. It was a common type of streets in some areas in Mexico, but as you mention, they are a bit painful, I drive very slowly some blocks until the regular street, hehe.
