    Hi fellow MINI enthusiasts,

    I've been on this site a few times for info and like the friendly MINI community vibe.

    My MINI story so far: My GF bought a MINI Gen 2 last year and let me drive it once. I was so impressed with the handling, I just had to get one for a track car. After some research, I decided on an R53. I found one that looked great, but needed some engine work (gaskets, seals fluids and such), and got her all fixed up. I've been driving her to work everyday, and I love it!

    I call my MINI Bacchus because with that supercharger, she's the goddess of WHINE. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks for the warm welcome all!

    As requested, here are some pics of my MINI. I'm thinking wheels, tires, seats and a steering wheel in the near future. Also the JCW air box.

    I'm hearing good things about 949 racing's 6ul. I've heard both yes and no that the 15x8 6ul will fit over the R56 / R53 JCW brakes. Truth or lies?
