last weekend, we have a little meeting..

 

Here's my 08 R55S. Had it since November, fun little go kart. Wheels are 17x7.5 Konig Hypergrams wrapped in 215/45R17 Hugger Ultra GTs. 20% tint, Need moar low.

 

 

Just picked it up a few days ago. First Mini in the family...

 

Tows like a dream, if it weren't for the rear camera, I wouldn't know it was back there.

 

Nine years old and still looks sharp.

 

Like the factory roof rack. Don't see many of them. Good luck with the Clubman

 

Yes, with the very rare sport aero kit.

 

Heres my Clubman S. Fun car to whip around in

 

Thanks! Yes, it's got an unusual option set for a base Cooper- heated sport seats, Comfort Access, and navigation. It's a 2009 with 103K miles on the clock.We bought it from a friend who had just spent a fairly large sum of money repairing all of the chronic issues: timing chain/guides/tensioner, thermostat, vacuum pump, and oil filter housing gasket.

 

Just joined the clubman crowd. 2009 clubman s manual added to be my daily. Love it so far. My first mini, first front wheel drive car, and its a hoot. Looking forward to spending time working on it and learning from y'all.

 

Loving it so far

 

My first Mini. Had her for 2 years now and she's been a blast since day one. Just getting started with mods, but looking forward to getting her where I want her.

 

 

Latest pic of my Clubby. New wheels and tires. I got a set of Black Star Bullets with Yokohamas on them and color matched the centers to my Lightning Blue body color and fixed some of the curb rash.

 

So I did a thing or two today, playing around with Plastidip. Even accidentally made a smiley face while I was at it.

Here is my 2010 Clubman S with a little less than 8500 original miles. So far has a turbo blanket, AEM intake, MM 22mm solid rear sway bar along with R95 wheels running 215/45/18's on all four corners along with 12mm spacers on all four corners and Magnaflow CAT back.

 

olerodder- did you lower your Clubman? Trying to figure out if the R95's with 215/45's fill up the wheel wells so nicely without dropping....looks really nice - also so Clean!

 

The Clubman has not been lowered although I would love to get some coilovers and lower it just a little. The reason is that there is a peak in my driveway and I'm sure I'd scrape if I lowered it much. My old 2014 Mustang TrakPak was lowered almost 2" and I had to angle it into the driveway to get it over the peak. $5k to fix the driveway is just not in the cards...so, keeping the Clubman close to stock ride height is needed. When I took the rear wheels off to put the sway bar on I did notice that even with the 12mm spacers the left rear wheel was rubbing slightly on the top of the swing arm...I did relieve the swing arm by 1/32" on both sides and it doesn't rub any longer.
The only other exterior mod I'd like to do is the JCW Aero Kit...then I'll stop...maybe

 

Thanks for that info - makes perfect sense on the driveway. Besides, lots to be said for stock ride height when those wheels do such a nice job of eliminating the wheel gap. Thanks for the info on getting them mounted!

 

My 2009 Clubman S. Bought it 2 months ago. Amazingly fun.

 

Gorgeous!

How about a picture of that Healey too?

 

Glad you asked.
