Picked this Dinan badged R53 out of a car dealers back lot destined for auction. Well worn 230k Dinan tuned and modded. Tuned DME, Pulley, CAI, exhaust, JCW Aero kit, Gram light wheels. Now to do full service replace whats broken and enjoy a Rare Mini

 

Nice find looks like a fun new project. Best of luck.

Motor On!

 

Wow, Nice! How are these things still around and pop up is crazy.

 

Nice Find, keep us informed as to your progress. I have a 06 Dinan S2, Pepper White slick top. Dinan parts are Non-Existent but you can make it work.

 

I've always loved those side skirts.

 

BTW Brainsblownout, Dinan now has the Air Filter In Stock for that Dinan Cold Intake Air Box you have there. They use to be hard to come by and there are no other options that I have found for a substitute. They are very expensive at $75 a pop, but you have little choice if you want to keep it original. You can get one here.

The only part I see available of any substance (valve stem caps, etc.) is the throttle modification. I wonder if the app is still supported at this point?

 

What a cool and lucky find! Hope you got it cheap, only because you can't buy these things too cheap anyway, purchase price is just the entry fee. I'm envious!
