Im looking for my old car , wondering if the owner would be interested in trading me for my built r58 ???and even not , i still wanna know whats going on with my old build. That car saved my life in short so I've never really got over having to sell it...

 

BTW guys , here's my r58 I been building. But gowd I miss r53's... I know they have they quirks but still... this r58 is a pretty solid car now that's I've done to it all I have..I gotta do front ball joints I THINK because it's a little noisy over harsh bumps but idk if it's rattles or suspension noise ?? I gotta look into it more but anyway here's my r58
Mod list is :
brand a new PORTED cylinder head,sneedspeed upgraded timing kit,billet k04 turbo,tubular exhaust manifold,nvida exhaust, catless dp,upgraded coils,upgraded dv,turbosmart wastegate,intake &6in velocity stack,ALL ic piping upgraded & alta ic,jb4 tuner,aluminum Tstat housing,waterpump& coolant reservoir,short shifter,coilovers,adjustable endlinks,new tires.car also has FULL factory jcw package along with numerous factory GP upgrades plus all the add on stuff on outside and interior.

 

How do you like the Paceman chassis in comparison to an R53? I'd rather get another R50/R53 any day, but if I absolutely had to get a newer one, it would probably be a Paceman or a Countryman.

 

I actually really like the paceman , the countryman was abit big for my liking and I felt that exp with the awd, it was sluggish imo..but imo the Paceman being a 2door and with the jcw it looks unique enough to overcome its weight.
but imo the f56 jcw are the BEST looking and I'd looooooove to get into one of those.
there's some awesome r53 parts out now lik now sweeeeeet long tube headers and aluminum intake manifold by cnc.. the r53 headers are made by the company that Makes my r56 headers..
i wonder how my r53 would perform with thise headers amd intake manifold instead of my obx 421 headeds and ported sneedspeed manifold..

 

Here's my headers I'm running.funny thing is , though I couldn't fit the turbo support bar ( though I'm gonna modify it to fit soon ) the headers actually had my dp mate upto my exhaust much much better than the oem jcw v2 manifold did. So that was a nice surprise not having to fight my dp to mate upto my flexpipe.. haha I expected to have to cut and weld the mid pipe to make it fit but noooooope. I couldn't believe it.

 

. Nice piece…

 

thx , price was right too....
As unique all around as the r58 is , I really miss MY r53..that car saved my life, legit..
