Congrats on the mcs!

whats the best part about going from a mc to mcs? (besides the turbo)

 

Thanks!

 

SRTech has just arranged with Marshall Gauges to produce gauges custom made for the Mini Cooper. I changed my SCX gauges made by Marshall and installed an electric water temp and manual boost/vac gauge Here is a link to the thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...gauges-13.html

and a couple of shots of the gauges

 

not having to envy MCS' i see around town ha

 

My pride:




..the dirtyiness just shows how much fun it is to drive

 

Too bad you couldnt take over the dealership next door. I would love to see a MINI take on that test course.

 

who knows what they'll think up once AWD comes into the MINI line up

 

aaaaaaaahhhh.... I once missed that dealer which lead me to one of the many loops in the area :P

and btw thats for the Jag/Range Rover dealer :D...


ps. if you were there recently, did they still have that lotus elise/exige on sale?

^ make sure you upload the picture and then paste the link

I was there last thursday for a small MINI birthday get-together and took snapshots around the bmw, mini, and jag dealer, i'm pretty sure there was not one.. as they are hard to miss

 

ALTA SSK + CravenSpeed Shift Well Cover. It's how the car should have came from the factory. ALTA's directions were pretty bad, but it was well worth the struggle. The shifts are so short and smooth now it's incredible!!

I thought I would hate the **** since it's pretty ugly, but it fits my hand perfectly and I think it's a really good weight.

Please excuse the crappy pics and the dirty car.

 

^^^^ Sweet looking. How hard was it for the install on the short shifter. Could an average person do it in the driveway?

 

Thanks! I think if I could do it anyone could. I have really basic knowledge of this car stuff, and the whole thing only took me about 2 or 3 hours with a friend. There are a few annoying parts but it all went together smoothly and I'm really impressed with it.

 

Just got the MCS last month....found a good deal on a new set of flame rims and had them powder coated with a micro tech finish.

 

what did it cost to get your flame spokes powder coated i was thinking of doing the same to mine

 

He wanted $500 but I got him down to $420...he hated me afterwords due to the original finish being very hard to remove. They had to media blast the rims, which took much more time than expected. Pc is the way to go but can be expensive.

I love the flame rims! Haven't seen those before!
Are they an upgraded rim when you were configuring the car?

 

Thnx!
I found them on craigslist for super cheap. They were pretty much brand new with conti sport tires and Tpms sensors.

 

I know I have posted a picture in this thread before but I just came across this one. I have done the Joey Mod since this picture.

 

sweet, the Rally lights look really cool on your car willsblackmini08

 

you have any more pictures from farther out

 

I picked up my car off the lot so it had em when i bought it but yeah you can add em in the configurator

 

^^What is "ASC off"? Mine has "DSC" in that spot. Is that what the button says when you dont have the sport package or DSC? what does the ASC off do?

 

I think it's Automatic Stability Control. Like a weaker version of the DSC I think. I didn't get that or LSD when I ordered my car last year.

When it's off I can spin the tires a ton, and the handling is a lot more fun.
