Than you. A lot of work !!

This was a picture I listed on another thread which is How I found out about the Dark Silver Club.

I was confused about what the MC meant so I fix the emblem on the front of my MINI. I did think it meant MINI COBRA

Awesome car Nitrominis That is funny you put the Cobra emblem on, I was thinking of some way to do that as well. I came from a Mustang Cobra to my first Mini, hence my handle MiniCobra1.
So, have you had your car on the dyno? what kind of power is it putting out?

Thanks !! I have owned a few Mustangs before myself but no Cobra's. If you look close it is an OEM AC Cobra emblem. At one time in my lengthy car quest ventures I build Kit Cobra as a living(Artnz and Butler) . My personal Cobra was an Artnz body #001.
As of this date I have not entered the DYNO wars. I use a AUTO METER D-PIC
(dyno for the moment ) which is very accurate , so I know about what in the real world I am doing in WHP range. Which is good enough for me.

That is the absolute PERFECT stance in my opinion. What suspension are you running?

THANK YOU!! DS is tough color to capture on camera. Having said that this is the BEST PIC I've seen of a dark silver MINI so far, really brought out the beautiful shade of DS! And oddly enough, really looks great lowered with stock wheels. I LOVE IT!!!!
