Haha, and live in Southern California, where rain and unicorn can be synonymous nearly year-round.

 

Haha even better! Enjoy it man looks good

 

Replaced the thermostat housing for the 2nd time. First time was about 18 months ago.

 

Niagara on the Lake near Konzelmann Estate Winery...


Washed, Dryed, Detailed...put the Snows on!

 

First time putting MINI in front end service mode. Thanks Mod MINI. Replaced the cooling fan assembly due to a faulty resistor.

 

Ah, that does make sense, then.

 

What tires are those??

 

I quite like the red and grey stripe!

 

Yes looks good with the rare hyper " Aero sport kit " . Very nice and clean.

 

Spent much of the day tearing it apart. Installed sound and vibration deadening. Under the back seat, under the trunk liner, even in the battery box.

The rear seat delete was making things pretty loud, but now it's so much better even than before the seats came out. The bench is back in until I can build a platform for the delete. Plus all in, only about 25lbs of deadening.

Even took apart the dash and added foam tape behind all the trim pieces, and the cup holder and shift trim.

Now the car is 100% rattle free, and quiet as a church mouse, most of the drone from the resonator delete has been alleviated now as well. I'm so happy.

Now I just need to replace the headliner, its sagging pretty badly..... Not looking forward to that....

 

Thanks guys...my son works at Performance Mini in St. Catharines, Ontario and as soon as this car came in he said I should take it for a "drive" WOW...Sign where...Thank you!
It has a lot of extras such as Blow off, Intake, and ECU tuning...I was looking for a Honda S2000 or a Miata...but everyone has one of those...These Mini's are so unique, comfortable, sporty and good looking, seemed like a no brainer.

Snow Tires are Bridgestone Blizzak Runflats 205/45R17 think they are LM25's. Picked up the rims from one guy North of Toronto for $250 and the tires from another for $200 - not a bad deal....

 

Cool! Hope you enjoy the MINI its a hell of a car

 

Taking my truck to be appraised to trade in on ANOTHER MINI...... It's bad. This would be our third one......

 

3 MINI Owner now, thats not bad

Install Michelin Premier A/S 205/50/16 [replacing OEM 195/55/16 run flats] flush on OutMotoring 12mm spacers.

 

Added an Alta cold air intake.

 

the red blends well looks factory esque.

 

Looks just like my engine compartment, same color scheme too!

Just curious how come the paint is rubbed off on the strut towers?

 

Looks good!

 

I'm not sure, I just bought the car a couple months ago and it came like that. Other than that the car is pretty clean.

 

Make sure you get some ECS STP, looks like you are missing them
