Does anyone remember a show that these three guys got a Dark Silver Mini Cooper S code named (arachnid mobile) becuase the guy's shift **** was a spider web, anyway they upgraded the car with the JCW kit back when it was just 200 hp. I was wondering if anyone knew the shows name and if I could find it on Youtube.

The name of the show that you're referring to is called Tuner Transformation. The owner of the Mini Cooper (name: Paul) is a member of MotoringFile.com (username: Paulmon).

Yep; I made that ****. The customer sent me the geometry for it.

I only found out about the program from a friend who happened to see it and notice what looked to him like one of my shift *****.

No plug, no nothing.
Sheesh!

I remember that show- they also put in an LSD and did some suspenstion mods. I recall the host wasn't too big on Mini's when they started but couldn't stop talking about after her drove it-before and after the mods. It is/was a Canadian based shop that hosted the show- sort of the Ontario version of Chip Foose.
