thanks miniman
ahh the joey mod, people tell me to do it....when i do it ill go with the black and red theme...just a little scared to do it i guess, ill probably tackle it labor day weekend...put em in the oven right? lol ahhhhhh!

 

No. The second gen Mini are supposed to be even easier than my 2006. I just used a heat gun. Ran it around the seal for a few minutes and started prying at it with a flat head wrapped in tap as to not chew up the plastic. Came open fairly easy. The main thing is just patients! TAKE YOUR TIME TAKE YOUR TIME. If you mess it up you're up ---- creek. But like I said, should be easier than mine, and I just went off of one of the MANY DIY joey mod threads.

Good luck.

 

some very nice minis

hello i just got my mini and i am wanting to do alot of stuff to it. One thing is finding rims and tires. I really want to get black rims because i want to bring more black in my car. Im also looking to get new tires. Im wanting to get 215/45/17 and 17 inch rims. What is a good tire and what is a good rim?
Thank you

Lots and lots of options. You can review sites like mine for MINI Specific Wheels in 17" sizes, plus other advertisers on here as well. Plus this thread shows a ton of options. Find a few styles you like and go from there.

If you have any questions, let me know, or this group know! Love helping new people to NAM when I can!

 

Hello Adam!

I sent the link with my R53 / 18 "/ red lips and polished too.
What dou you think about the 25mm wheel spacers?
I talk with Chris Cone about 15% pulley and 2% crank pulley... Do I have to modify more engine configures if only change this parts?
I'm thinking about to buy the "H&R Sport Springs for Cooper "S" ... Can I change only the coils to douwn my mini?

Thanks for asking!

I sent you a private message with all the details! Thanks again!

 

heres my 05 lowered on 18x7.5 dtm ali2s
sorry about the quality

 

18" RH Evolution w 225/35/18. Now I just need to get lowered

 

ChipG: I agree 100% lowering will really compliment that wheel / car combo! Post up some new pics when it is done!

 

Here are my new Konig Feathers from Alta laced up with Bridgestone Potenza G 019 Grids in 215/45/17

Alta (Jarid) was top notch and I'd certainly recommend and will be using again in the future

 

Dayum... those wheels are sweet!!! If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get them?

 

Looking Good! You car is all blackened out, now its time for a drop!

 

I bought them from a member of Sunshine Mini's (forum member here, too)

 

Haha I knew that was coming. Very doubtful but one never knows!

 

OZ Ultraleggera 18x7 +38 with 215/35/18 Tires dropped on H&R springs

SIIIIIIIIIICK

 

god yes

 

17 x 7 Konig Feathers in silver w/ Kumho Ecsta XS KU36 215/45/17, I decided not go with flat black rims because that seems the most popular choice among black mini owners. I'll post better photos this coming weekend.



From a charity car show from this past weekend.

 

I like the contrast with the black. Not everyone needs the murdered out look!

 

yall have such great taste when it comes to wheels!!!

 

Niiiiiice!! And thanks for the shout out! Definitely let me know when you would like to get that beast LOWER!!!
