Hey Guys,
After 5 years without my R53, I am proud to say I bought back from my buddy!!!

Not much has changed, but sure is louder than I remember....suspect my old Ireland Engineering exhaust has a hole in it

Anyways sadly it remained parked outside for nearly a year, and a mouse moved in to the Heater core...so yeah dealing with that clean out!

Hope all you have been well, and look to chatting with you again!

Welcome back, any pictures of your old new ride as allot here were nowhere around 5 years ago.

 

Few crappy ones I just took

 

I really like that shade of yellow --- nice ride. Enjoy...

 

Looks white / black to me.

 

Huh? Must be your monitor

 

Love the SSR wheels.

 

Thanks! Shame no longer made

 

Welcome, those are some nice ssr, used to be the wheel back in the day for the gen 1 MINIs.

 

Welcome back, and great looking car!

How do you like the RMW street cam? What head and injectors are you running? I was thinking about getting one, but wasn’t sure if it would be worth it with a stock head.

 

the street cam is a cam you can run on stock tune, any of the other cams we sell should have a tune for them. (even the street will run better with a tune)
the dominator cam is also made to work with the stock head, but with header/injectors for maximum gains

 

I have a stock head and can tell you without any question that the Dominator Cam with larger injectors, a tune and a header is very very sweet.

 

I meant stock as in S, not JCW. I know there's not much of a difference, but the regular S is still below the JCW in performance. I'd like to find a used JCW for a reasonable price, but it'll take a while to find one.

 

I've flow tested the stock head and JCW
stock head exhaust port flows 106cfm
JCW is 126 cfm

RMW BVH 180cfm

there isn't much performance gain from the JCW porting

 

Hi and welcome back!
Gen 1s all the way!

 

Welcome Back, love the SSRs
