OK so these are just the ones from Autotrader because it was dark when i got it...but...oh mAn what fun. It definitely isn't the fastest in a straight line but what a fun noise and the handling...yeeesh!

Hope you like! There will be a mod list soon!

 

Looks great. Hope you enjoy.

 

Looks great and it's the best color, same as mine of course.

 

It is a beauty and just the color combo that I aspire to.

 

thanks folks! I can't quite say enough how excited I am. And i got waved at by two other mini drivers on the way home!

 

very nice.

 

Grats and good luck with it.

 

Ooooohhh... red with the areo grille already installed - congrats! Nice choice and welcome to the family!

 

Enjoy it! Hope to see you out on the road! Ever think about joining a Mini Club???

 

Yup I was definitely a fan of the aero kit! I'm off to have a wee drive in it. I shall report back later on. It sadly has to go to the shop cos it has some funny knocking noise from inside the passanger door. Supposedly something that Mini know about and can be fixed, thats its only blemish!

You are going to have sooooo much fun!!

Nice Aero kit, the interior looks cool too

 

Looks fantastic, Neil! Have fun with your new toy!

 

Thanks all! Sooooo question number 1?! I was a little alarmed at how happy the tires are to squeel like crazy. I'm used to driving fast cars, so lets say I did some "athletic" cornering this evening. Although the car was staying true it was definitely letting me know I was working it. Maybe the tires the previous owner put on are not so great. Do Eagle 1's etc.. make a big difference?

 

Do you have DSC (Dynamic Stability Control)? When I disable the DSC, I get more squeal, even with my runflats. Hope that helps.

 

Depends what you have onthere now, but there is a reason many say dump the RFs, I say it mos tof the time (Clo has some RFs that stick pretty decently) Switching to Goodyear Egale HPs made a huge differance in limits of the car. Also MINIs are Fly by wire throttle systems so it takes some getting used to smoothing out your inputs will make a huge differance as well. If you've got some tread left I'd get a track day in now, learn the car more and get yourself smooth then switch to some prime rubber (and have some real fun if you go back to the track later on).

 

Looking good, but we need MORE MORE!

 

Congratulations! Very nice CR/W MCS!

Now get ready for more smiles per mile, as you motor!

Enjoy your MINI!
