I'm VERY interested!! Haha. I'd love to have a Miltek, too!! Does the pipe hang down much? Got any pics I can view?

Yeah, I didn't think so... GP IC is what I've always heard.

I would love to, but I'm a bit new to those... What's been your experience on them/what's been your general cost, having to refill it and whatnot?

 

Awwwww yes I see. I'm not concerned about a pretty engine bay, I just want to not melt my SC/engine. XD
Yessir, I will do that. There are 2 MINIs at my local junkyard, so I've got that to help me out, too.
Definitely! If it's not tight, it's not right, eh? :wink:

 

Fantastic. I appreciate it, sir.

Makes sense. How much do you run for a refill?

 

Gotchaa...... OK! Seems like a win-win-win situation!!

alright, fair enough. I knew a guy one time who had Meth that he could turn on and off from the cabin.

 

Hahaha. Funny. ;P They're getting me some advice on Meth injection (Yes, I'm looking into it, Dave.0).
Where is RMW located? I'd love to get a tune from them at some point, since they seem pretty well-liked by everyone. I went to their site, and I couldn't find the location....

 

Maxmini, right now. But I've got a thread that I started today on it. He seems to know what he's doing.

 

Yeah, I've heard of Jan... Had a few run-ins with him at MT. Hahaha. Let's just say, I'm sure he does a great job building cars. XD He seems smart too, but he has a habit of pushing people's buttons hard-core over there. XP
Yeah... I've never understood the stance scene. It doesn't even look good....
And I think he'd probably be worth the drive up to Irvine to get him to mod a car. Plus I wouldn't mind driving there.... Me and a friend are actually planning a roadtrip to San Fransisco next year, maybe I'll go get it tuned then.

 

Well, he did tell me to run Meth. ;P I wonder why the MT guys never seemed to run it. They all seemed to like upgraded TMIC better, occasionally they would even use a huge FMIC (Looked hideous).

It's dead over there.... I've gotten like, 4 replies total. Hahaha

 

You gotta think outside the box, my friend. Whoppers on the right side, Chiclets on the left, and M&M minis on the back. A different color AND advertisement for each side. Stand apart from the crowd.

 

Yeah, I noticed that. They have me dreaming of a local 1320 MINI. XD

Alright, I found 2 I'm interested in. Let the opinions commence:

2002 Mini Cooper S *OBO*

2005 Mini Cooper S

On the first one, I can vouche for the kind of condition his car is in (I may have stalked him on other forums, so I know what he's saying is true). He's done all the right performance mods, and a little too heavy of a hand on the exterior, but I love the color combo and the exterior bits I don't like is stuff I can un-do. $6,500 sounds like a steal for all those mods (Read the whole ad, he later says that it's what he'll take). CONCERNS : Just based off the ad it seems like he ran it to death. Again, I've watched him on forums, and he doesn't seem like someone who street-races or anything, and he's said he wants the car in perfect condition to sell, and doesn't want someone to end up with a piece of junk or anything, but I'm a little concerned that the engine is gonna blow at 100,000.. So, what do you guys think?

**EDIT** I don't know why he has those terrible pictures up, BTW. I've seen much, much better ones of his car, and it's very sharp looking under all the stupid looking stuff (Read: Brass knuckles shifter, stupid stickers, gold stripes, eyebrows).

As far as the second one goes, I know, he's asking too much. If I can't haggle him down to about $6,300-$7,000 (Depending on the condition), it's a no. So, price aside, it looks like a nice, clean base to start modding. Miles are a little on the high side, but he seems to keep up on maintenance, and he already rebuilt the S/C. Again, what is your guy's experienced input?

Thanks in advance!

 

Screw it, let's just make a @#$%^ street-legal float.
