@MCS02 who said "no mods"** ? I just said "no lowering" ;) :p ** I already have a running list of must-have upgrades before MOTD 2019, and I...
I fell head over heels in lust with a Starlight Blue F56 JCW at MOTD this year, and for myriad reasons, have decided that it's time to start...
I signed up for a Friday slot. My car was on a dyno a few years ago when Jan tuned it, but it was a summer day in Florida, so I'll be anxious to...
Hey @Sully , I didn't find anything MINI-specific on YouTube, although this may help, as modern bonnet & boot struts seem to be pretty universal:...
The struts or shocks that hold up the boot or hatch have finally failed. Replacement parts aren't expensive, and it would appear to be a pretty...
This. I was gobsmacked when I got the quote. There was an audible THUMP as my jaw hit the floor. A higher price for inferior parts?! WTF.
Yep -- got my standing reservation at Fontana, looking forward to the trip already! I'll definitely stop by to shoot the ****, enjoy some...
So I know that OEM parts are expensive, but the discounted price I was quoted on MINI axles was straight-up st00pid!!! :mad2::mad5::crazy: WAY...
Quick follow-up question: with a 1" drop to the ride, would I have a problem if I go with OEM axles again? I'd like to get Jan's, but I'm on a...
Thanks again Savvy, I definitely appreciate the advice! :thumbs: My guy gives me his price on parts, so I get something of a break there. I'm...

In Oct. last year I had the torque link and gearbox end OEM motor mounts replaced with VibraTechnics, and since then, I notice more vibration from...
Living in FL, I don't have to worry about the extraneous crap spewed on the roads for ice & snow as you northerners do :biggrin5: Do you notice...
Thanks Dave. :thumbsup: I actually switched my order, so I'm getting the Helix SS now. The extra 17% reduced throw with Helix changed my mind.
I have the NM Engineering short shift adapter coming, but I hear that with a SSK, you either 1) leave the dust cover off or 2) cut it so that the...
Thanks to all for the replies (shout-out to Dave.0 for replying on the RMW forums too :cornut:). If it matters, the calipers have already been...
I'm doing the R56 brake upgrade to my R53, and adding new rotors all around. As part of the project, I wanna add some pop to the calipers. To do...
My '06 S has a build date of 11.29.05, and under 70000 miles. Yeah, I need to drive more :biggrin5:
