Just realized I have never shared any pictures or details of the Couple I been building and of coupe upgrading as much as i can. I've managed to snag a few car show awards even though I have still not finished with my goals.

Rear area will be redone in next few weeks to hide things better. Still cant find a set of wheels i like enough to buy. I have even bought a few sets or rare wheels and didnt like the look so resold days after getting them.

Still a few more pieces on interior to be Hydro-dipped as well.

Here are a few pictures of my Bagged Coupe called HODOR, Not only looks good at shows but handles amazing doing 125mph at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Do you ride with it that low - or does it go back up to normal height when driving? I'd be worried about CV angle. Is the ride same, better or worse?

 

It will roll that low but no way i could drive it like that, Could not turn the wheels lol. I normally only adjust the height between DD or track use but when do car shows or parades I air all way out to put smiles on kids faces. They get a kick out of it and eyes get 3x bigger in size wondering what just happened lol

On the track i air to just about even with tires and make it stiff and it handles amazing on Autocross tracks. I have no body roll or nose dive issue in sharp corners. DD its a little lower then stock height normally.

 

Looks nice. What kit if I may ask?

 

D2 Air racing set up for the bags and Air lift management system.

Very nice

 

Great looking ride and that blue is my favorite color on a Mini

 

Congrats on the conversion. Not too many bagged R58's around, how did you fit the tanks? Got some pics of it?

 

I'd like to see the tank(s) location myself; I always thought adding a train air horn would be hilarious and I figure the location could be the same or similar.
