Hey all, r53 owner in Lawton MI.
Just thought I'd pop in and say hey. I have a pure silver S with a few different upgrades.
So far I have
an alta 17% pulley
Canton aluminum coolant and ps tanks
Colder plugs
Msd ignition pack and plug wires
Coilovers (not on yet)
Suede headliner
Suede racing seats with rci harnesses
Thats all i can think of at the moment.
Planning on a performance head, CAI, h20 meth injection, 500lb injectors, remap, sparco wheels, nitto nt01 tires, and a better exhaust and some weight loss. The plan is to autocross it, and take it up to mini on the mack next year..wont see a whole lot of street driving.
Welcome to NAM! You have done a great job upgrading you MINI. Have you done autocross before, and in what type of car? A good way to go testing is at an SCCA Track Night in America or with a local car club's high performance day.
Welcome to NAM! Looks like you've done some fun upgrades so far. I do love Pure Silver. Have you done a rear sway bar yet? It will compliment the new coil overs nicely! Whiteline is the company I particularly like when it comes to bushings and sway bars. Can check out the bar here - http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/..._pg2.htm#item5. I'm really digging those suede seats!
So, I smoked the clutch..time to tear everything apart and work on it all winter..also a tip, when doing coilovers, the front swaybar links are a PITA. i just cut mine, cleaned up with the grinder. The hour and a half it would take to do it just isnt worth it to me. Especially how rusted and nasty they were. Going to order some small heims, and make my own adjustable ones.

the clutch is in, i have quite a bit of brake work to do. My radio is fried, so thats awesome...also ordered a harness bar from cipher i thought id go and give that a try. I WILL WRITE A REVIEW! hahah
more stuff for this year include:
a snow performance stage 1 water meth injection
Adjustable links
Going to try to put together a 3"full straight exhaust with a resonator
More suede
New power steering
Last i might do more appearance stuff
So the last few months I haven't accomplished a whole ton of stuff, but id thought id share my pile progress anyway Not much has changed interior wise, i junked the cloth rear seats for a black leather one to match a bit better. Never even took a pic. LoL I'm slowly picking away at the nitrous system. Also pulling all the aluminum stuff to wash it with acid here when i vacuum out the intake. Routing for my fuel line. Someday ill order a shorter one. But at 60 bucks a piece....
The aluminum mounting plate in back is some cheap stuff i had laying around to kind of mock up for a hose measurement. I believe this will be carbon fiber when its all said and done. I dont know, just a random pic of a dirty boot. My snow performance stage 3 meth injection controller. I still need to drill and tap another hole in the tube and wire the rest in.. what a pain.
