As far as the turbo project...it is on hold cause Im trying to catch up from not having a job for 7 months. But since the BMW and Mini are paid off...I will be talking to Jan and doing his crate motor with turbo setup. Im sourceing interior wiring harnesses for an S swap since I just acquired an ECU..
Maybe you wanna put in my clutch and flywheel in my car while your at it for a couple hundred, beer, food and companionship of me and alpha motoring? LOL but seriously...

Have you guys thought about Bagging the Mini? Just raise it back to stock ride height so no need to worry about speedbumps and Dips.

This way you can be this low...

not always... rally is on bags and his looks waaaaaaay better than that swift mini


and also in regards to wheel choices, i think the "swift MINI" is on 20" wheels which just plain doesnt make sense on a MINI.

Damn! Rally I must say that is one sexy Mini! I always knew you were low. I didnt know you bagged! Awesome man! Especially with the clubbie it looks even better. Are those BBS RS's or the Super RS's?

BTW, lower than low sure looks great on your car with those wheels!!
Congrats!

16" RS's, not super's unfortunately. Gonna move up to some bigger wheels and more low next season

What are you up to...in a gti now?

I'm convinced that RS's look good in nearly any size. Especially, if you have a little stretch going on. Are you going to try and get low enough to lay your frame?

But, yes I've moved onto the GTi for now. I was looking at the Clubbie, but all the ones I was configuring were out of my price range. I saw a few local Dub's here that I really liked. After a Test drive I was hooked on the car. It's not a Mini, but its okay with me for now. Nice Job on your Clubbie though. I remember your Cooper was one of the nicest around.

actually the only reason he got a gti is he thought it was able to smoke my mini

*of course this is all done on a closed course no street racing involved.

Im quite sure even with cams and a mynes tune both of us will not be able to kill a revo mkv

with head cams and mynes tune maybe, he's just pushing some crazy torque numbers with the revo the mkv fsi/tsi engine is a really strong motor
