DRAG DR-31 16x7 4-100/11440FB www.discounttiredirect.com running on Continental
205 55 EZ16 DWS. The offset is +40mm.
Radical difference in ride comfort compared to Bridgestone Turanza runflats.;handling seems firmer(wheels are lighter than OEM)

Garmin 7200 Street Pilot.
Needed to mount this beast low down and securely. Found a mount on EBay (where else) that bolts to the passenger seat rail. It could be mounted to the torx bolt at the front end of the rail. I drilled a 3/8th hole and through bolted the fitting nearer the end of the rail. This stiff spring type mount is perfect for the heavy Garmin 7200.
IPhone sits in a cradle sunk into the cup holder.

I've considered doing that with my phone, but i figured having it all sit in that general area is invasive of the center console controls. Unless you never use the AC/window/lock/fog/DSC/Sport switches, i guess it'd be fine.

Just traded my 07' MCS in for a 13' JCW. It is pretty sweet I must say. I had the S for 4 years and never got tired of it. I would always find a excuse to drive. I am a huge MINI fan so why not have a JCW? I will miss my cooper S though.

I'd bet there's a pretty big difference in engine performance!

Did you need any wheel spacers with the Megan Coilovers?

newbie
Excuse my crappy pics. Just found this forum yesterday and the hubs has been making fun of me for looking through posts for hours last night. Would like to share photos of our new baby Goliath. He's a month old now. 2013 mini cooper S with the sport package. I want my mini to look manly on the outside but girly on the inside, hence, the hello kitty matting.
