That is top-notch MINI ****.

If someone were to look at that engine bay, they'd think you never actually drive the car.

 

Sid, your a nut.

 

Takes one to know one...

 

I believe Sid has made a new version of the next gen body...... the R54

 

R53.2

 

Sid
Did you get your fenders installed yet??

 

I chickened out due to having to deal with painting and gave my spot to another lucky fellow...I'm sure he'll be braggin soon enough...

 

Your interior looks like the Japanese car from Cannonball Run! Sweet.

 

Post me a picture to remind me...

 

I searched everywhere I could think of, but couldn't find the shot I wanted. I think it was when the car was first introduced that they showed the interior at night and it was just a sea of flashing red lights and guages.

You can see a little bit in the background here (and, yes, that is Jackie Chan in the driver's seat).

 

Me too, I thought about it long and hard but didn't want to mess with matching the paint and all that. Anyways, I think it should look nice when it's done professionaly.

 

Now that I'm feeding throught the cowl, it's time we added an aggressive ram intake from Moss Mini...it's nearly 2" tall...





The old tow hook was cool looking but I've heard from more than one tracker who actually put them to use then found them to be as weak as they are inexpensive (and they stuck out too far to be track legal even when folded)...

Time for Turner Motorsport's E36 racing tow hook...smaller at 2" diameter and folds nearly flush with the bumper behind the foremost lead of the bumper...and they come in set of two for front and rear...the shaft is too short for the rear so I carry a factory hook for that area and save the other for a spare...made of aircraft grade aluminum instead of casting which are brittle...

 

Man those look Sharp.

 

Do you have a picture of entire frontend of your car?

 

Maybe tomorrow...it's too dark now...

 

Here's another shot from the front earlier...

 

I found one from earlier in the year with the old hook...

 

Damn very nice work and vision.

How many miles on your car?

 

Thanks Jeff...she's past 66k now

Here's some more I just took...couldn't find the tripod so it's a little blurry...

 

Ok...so I'm bored...here's something for you pilots...

I forgot to dim the G2X...ooops...good thing I didn't have the Auterra/Palm and Ipod screens on too...yes, I think I have ADD, OCD, XXD...or maybe I'm having issues dealing with having failed my photo lab classes while in college?

I see what you mean...

 

I don't know how you do it..... you would think it would get too busy but it keeps looking better and better...... very nice

 

Ready for takoff . WOW

 

WOW that tow hook is PRICEY!

 

sssssshhh....you mean "pretty"...you want to get me thrown out of the house!!!

It's the real thing...and that's consistant with what I like...

 

I can't believe with that many miles there is not a scrape or chip anywhere on his frontend. Just amazing.

Have you had it repainted?

The NYS Thruway is slowly killing my car and it just pisses me off. Man I need some anger management classes
