Rear 19mm Sway is at work, hope to install everything soon!

So far, I did a 35% tint all around, connected a module that some dude made that overrides the factory Mini setting for the "Sport" button so that it defaults ON instead of OFF so I don't have to push it everytime I get in the car to turn it on. I also purchased via fleabay the euro OEM armrest (Gen 1 model) that was very badly needed. I'm bidding on a Satellite radio unit for my car that someone is selling on eBay, I hope to pick it up at a decent price (I was just outbid but will wait until the auction is close to ending before bidding again).

Few more pics:

Rain sucks

My brother made this for me when he was in SC, it's a "RideMakerz" model ( www.ridemakerz.com )

Nice bro!

Hey, BTW, how's the webcam working?

 

Nice

 

Wow, they can fit your car in a box!!

 

^^ LoL ^^

 

I like everything about it except the wheels - they're just kinda boring. Any plans for those?

 

Nice mods....that thing is going to be a go-kart!

 

Looking good!

 

Yes and no, If I change the wheels, I'm looking for either the "Challenge" OEM JCW wheels, they look like this:


Or these (I originally tried finding my car with this but there was none out there)


This is what the JCW wheels would look like:

 

I think that would be a VAST improvement! If I were to get mini I would go with your exact color combo, except with black JCW wheels - but black wheels are definitely a matter of personal style.

Get those JCW's and it'll be perfect!

 

Cool.

 

I'm actively looking for them, if I can steal 'em, I'm buying 'em.

 

So ummmm....when you gonna change your user title to MINI Clubman

 

When I figure out how it got there, and how to change it

 

If you could steal them, why wold you buy them?

Robbery fail.

 

When are you gonna change your username Mr non-type-s owner.

moog-gti, moog-vdub, moog-vw, ... so many to choose from.

 

pshhhh....it has nothing to do with Acura......the S in Type S is for sexy

 

:theghey:

 

 

Finally...I'm officially 1.2" closer to Earth... I didn't have time to put the RSB in, even though it probably would have been easier to do it while removing the springs, but I guess I'll do it next week. With the help of my friend's shop (using a lift and air tools) and one of his tech's, we finished the task in about an hour and a half! We didn't even take off the rear wheels while working in back, but we did take off the front wheels because we didn't have much of a choice. Anywho, here she is! Figure give it some time for the springs to settle and the car will probably drop a little more..Don't mind the brake dusty wheels, I need to wash it again tomorrow...

 

Looking good. Now get new wheels and finish the job!

 

that looks awesome

 

$800 + $150 shipping - Includes tires...Not loving these, but they are very close looking to the JCW Challenge wheels..They were standard on the '04 MC40 Cooper.




$550 shipped

 

Think I should paint the fender flares to match the rest of the car?

 

How about these? Black with polished face..

 

Looks great Shoofin, all you need is to put on your new tires, paint the fenders and match the tint on your front windows!

 

Windows are 35% all around (except windshield, which I do not plan on tinting)

 

My girlfriend has these (Webspokes) on her MINI but I prefer the R90's from the MC40's... especially the darker R90's, plus they're made by BBS

 

You've made the car look pretty suite, I like the older gen hatch style a bit better, but still a nice ride you got there.

Also did they change the motor on those? Or is it still the Turbo 4 from before.

 

 

Drop looks nice! Love how nimble those things are.

 

Drop looks great.

Don't paint the flares.

 

^^^^

I would not paint the flares.

 

I'm a sucker for black w/polished lip wheels.

 

^ I agree... that is the look I would go for with this.

Either way... looking good so far Ed!!

 

Low enough?



The business card you see there is about 2 inches tall..

 

^^

You'll be plowing snow in no time.


Wide angle veiw, please.

 

looking good and super low. Wanna see another view that low

 

x2

 

Looking great! My gf is getting this car in 1 month as well. 2010 Mini Clubman S. She's excited!

And, yes, I would paint the fenders!
