Wintermode #2

 

Here's Mario with his dropped stance;
Just changed to OZ rims & BC V1 coilovers;

 

Took this while doing a little storm chasing out in Clinton, OK last year...

 

Hi all, I present my Sparkling Silver r56 year 2008.

Do not put big photos Sorry

 

Ooooo nice insides!

 

thanks so much

 

 

very nice - the interior as well - love the tan leather.

p.s.

I have been eyeing a black jack for my interior review mirror - can u tell me if it's removable or glued on?

HOLY DROP! That's a stanced MINI if I've ever seen one. Awesome job.

Motegi SP10 rims?? I have some of those sitting in my garage

 

wrong terminology...

 

I would argue that the rear has noticeably more neg. camber (probably due to the drop) and that it's sitting pretty flush.... I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to suspension and such but enlighten me

What's the difference between 'stanced' vs. 'dropped' vs. 'stupid idiotic camber and toe-in'? Do you need stretched tires and wide rims to stance a car along with a drop?

 

Stance usually refers to negative camber(which you do get from lowering) but also stretch fit/lipped wheels, Along with this comes no handling and scraping but it looks pretty good in my opinion.

I have a lot of "stanced" buddies so i get yelled at when i use the term inproperly




My buddy rickys r53, hes on here and "stanced"






Stupid idiotic





Dropped would be like the fitment you refer too/ flush




Goto canibeat.com plenty to look at there

 

Thanks!!! I love that leather too

The interior mirror is glued on, is a plastic and paste it above the mirror.
It's cheap and looks good

 

yeah, I wouldn't call it stanced. Granted I can't even fit my pinkey inbetween the rear tire and the fender and my coils are all the way down (Megans), it's still not sitting the way I want it to. Here's a pic so you can kinda see the rear camber...

Thanks guys

I appreciate the effort putting those pictures for clarification. That is a pretty good looking s2000...I've always drooled over those.

Another good pic BadMINI

 

it was foggy in the canyons this morning...

 

Wicked picture!

 

Thanks Bigprfed22.

Luckily it was only that dense at the top... i still got to enjoy the twisties on the way up and on the way down

 

What tires are you running currently?

 

I'm running Yokohama S-Drives... HUGE improvement over the stock runcraps. I wanted some Nitto Neo Gens, but they were on nationwide backorder when I needed to re-up.

This is the second set of S-Drives I have had... previously had them on my clubman. They're great tires. Supper grippy and look killer.

 

From L to R: mine, boyfriend's and Mom's. I guess you could call it a MINI family reunion.

 

 

Nice threesome
