Don't think I've posted pics of Beelzebub here in awhile, so here's his latest including a 1hr old oil change. Thankfully the camera don't show most of the dirt!

Thanks! My "EBC brakes" consist of EBC's Sport front rotors, slotted and dimpled, with Red Stuff pads F/R. Took forever to bed them in, but OH MY! The wheels are Konig's Brightlites. Saved 6.5lbs/corner with them.

New Mini Owner Pictures

Hello everyone! So I went to the dealership to look at a 2007 MCS, and ended up driving home a 2011 MC. The one pic has my trade-in and my new Mini in it. I'm looking forward to learning more about the Mini-World and good mods I can start on!

Nice thats the setup that Im looking at for mine. I really dont like the initial bite that Mini has. How is yours in that respect?

No initial bite at all, hot or cold. The pedal feels completely linear. I'm liking them more all the time!

Wheels look awesome on there. I've always been a big TE37 fan. I'd love to have a set of white ones for my MINI.

Haven't been on here in awhile.. My car has been at the dealer getting my black headlights put on ane my xilion coating and my guidepoint tracking security system installed. I've been driving a 2011 justa Cooper and wow there is a big difference in feel between the mc and the mcs. I felt horrible driving that car after drivin my mcs. But today I finally got back my baby so I'll be posting pics of the new headlights and hopefully by next. Weekend I can have my vinyl stripes installed.. Pics coming soon

GREAT looking Mini!!!! Looks like a ton of fun out on the track!

I re-edited my previous photo I posted; wasn't happy with the colors. Here's the new edit; much happier with it.
