Finally got my bike rack up and running! Pretty funny how they ended up matching

 

Very nice... Nice background & photo. Almost nicer than Mini's photo when first advertising there Countryman, same B&W set up as well. Where is that if I may ask?

 

JCW Aero and 19" wheels it looks like - very nice!

 

Looks fantastic Creekhead! Nice lookin' bike too!

 

Now all you need is bigger wheels, the 17's look lost in there!

 

Thanks, had to buy a car to match the new bike .

Yea, Saving up for the 19's. Debating on the JCW rims or some aftermarket stuff.

Thanks!!

 

Thanks, those are still 17s. looking forward for some 19s.

The list for this car gets longer and longer.......
I installed the Lights in the front, I'm waiting for following parts to arrive; side sport stripe (white), Boot stripe (white). Roof sports stripe (red), NM intake, NM heat block plate, VIP strut bars, sport springs.

planing for the roof rack, luggage rack (for traveling purpose). and lastly the 19's (the JCW rims are just toooooo pricey..)

 

Has any1 installed the sprint booster onto there the MINI CMs. It looks really interesting but I am concern of the result and if the long run of the transmission and engine.

Has any1 have pass experiences in their mini and like to share????

Thanks!!!

 

Put some new tips on today, 4" black tips from Dimisa. Fills out the cutouts much better. A little louder, maybe, hard to say from inside or the whole 8 blocks from the muffler shop back home.

SOLD!!!! Thanks for the vid! Does it run on car battery or does it have it's own source? I've seen both the remote control version and the manual version for about 2/3 the cost. Yours just looks and acts cooler!

BTW - love the color/striping on your ride! Thanks again for the info!

 

Runs off the car battery, I did a write up on the install in a sub forum. Pretty easy, the hardest part was getting the buts off the barry terminal, there is no room to work in without taking off more parts than you should need to.

We purchased our CM last month and have enjoyed every minute of it! I am 6'9", 295 pounds and I actaully fit better in the back seat that in my CC Dodge 2500HD. She is 6'1" and fits like a glove.

 

Here's another one from another tall MINI owner....well it looks like both of us are spouses of our MINI owners. At 6'11" and 290 lbs, I can fit about as well as you can. Alas, your wife take mine in the height category...mine's short at only 5'9"!

The first photo was taken last week, fresh from her first wax and detail by yours truly. The second is posing against my car, which I guess now has to be called a MINI Escalade.

Latest Mods!!
The intake makes a HUGE difference!!! the Sound of the turbo was sooooo sweet, and i was actually able to hear the blow off VALVE... amazing!!!!!

 

Very nice!! Do you feel any difference in power, or it is just the sound that's changed?

Did you have the work done, or self install? BTW - where'd you source from. Thanks!

 

Everything was self installed. Power wise, there was a very little difference i did feel a little boost. the Creators at NM-engineers claims a 10plus hp gain.

I did a-lot of price search and below are the sites I bought from;

NA motors are probably the cheapest for NM parts, mini mania are a bit pricey I bought it during there 15% off sales. VIP custom are great direct manufactures, i bought the rear wiper block for $20 bucks vs. minimania (the same exact thing sells for $25). they are have a July sale on there strut bars which i just got it in the mail today. Looking forward to installing them tonight.

There are some crazy parts for this from Forge that are currently selling in UK and Europe, like the Intercooler for 700 "e" (euros) and a aluminun coolant tank 200+ euros.... i'm in the debating state right now.. alot of money for these parts!

Will post more pics later!!

Thanks..

 

Looks like NM Engineering:

Can you direct me to the web site where you purchased the kit from?

Also, any concerns about it voiding your warranty?

Thanks,

Eric

I did a reply and for some reason it needed to be approve first! I'll send you a message right now. thanks

 

Dealers aren't really going to attack you for the CAI and the Exhaust...

 

Just picked up our new ALL4 on Saturday and I thought I'd share...

 

Looks great Justme! My long wait begins now..
