My Mini Cooper S

Hi guys,

First of all, let me congratulate you for the wonderful forum you have here... I've discovered it by accident, and I'll do my best to stay here and delight myself with the marvelous automobiles we can find in here.

So, I'll leave you with a few pictures of my car, which has the following mod list:

Engine\Transmission

John Cooper Works 210 kit (Only kept the JCW CAI and cat-back from it)
Kavz Motorsport 18% reduction Supercharger pulley
OEM facelift Crank Pulley (lighter than my original one)
Facelift gearbox (shorter ratios)
Quaife ATB differential
Lightened flywheel with a reinforced clutch
Bosch 550cc Injectors
Thumper TPR-1 Cylinder Head
Newman Cam Camshaft
Mynes V2 Manifold/Header with original cat
ByteTronik Software Engine Management
K&N air filter
NGK BKR7EQUP sparkplugs
ARP head studs and bolts
ARP Cam sprocket
Wossner Forged Pistons
Kavs Motorsport chargecooler with custom John Cooler Water logo

Chassis\Suspension\Braking\Handling

JCW\Brembo front and back brake kit with Nitrac Discs and Carbotech XP8 pads on the front
KW V3 Coilovers
Powerflex bushes on most important places
Eibach ARB kit
Alta end-links

Styling

R90 Replica wheels (with the right ET so it accommodates the JCW/Brembo kit without spacers)
Aerokit with white reflectors
Blazer Radiant Effects Round Blue Light Kit
Xenon facelift headlights
"Joey modded" headlights and rings color coded
Custom rear bumper aerokit decals
M7 ram air scoop

Interior

JCW Sparco leather seats
Alpine MRV-F345 (Amplifier)
Pioneer DEH-p88RS II (Source)
Alpine Type-R SPR-17S (Front speakers)
Rainbow SL6x9 (Rear speakers)
Dynamat xTreme sound deadening
JCW Alcantara gear lever
JCW Alcantara hand-brake lever
Innovate Motorsports LC1/DB AFR Gauge
Oil temperature gauge from VDO
Craven speed Short-shift
Richbrook Speed Top Gear Knob

This is how it was originally:



Then, already with a few mods, came the accident...





The insurance company called it Total Loss, but I fought for it and manage to get it how it is today...

Here with the white wheels and unpainted headlight rings and lights. Also with different auxiliary lights.



And this is how it is today, and how it will stay:













Its current power (around 250 Bhp, originally it had 163 Bhp):



I might be forgetting something, but most things are covered.

Thanks for watching.
