As most of you know, there's generally a parts swap area at MOTD in the WMW tent... so what are you bringing to sell or swap? I've got a stainless straight-back exhaust for the R53, it's aggressive but not completely obnoxious, Corvette dual tips, $250 and I'll bring the "stuff" (clamps, hanger) necessary to install it... I'm looking for an old stock exhaust from an R53 (any year), even if the cans are rusted out, just need the main pipe from the flange to the first can if the main pipe's good. The cheaper the better... I'll bring a hacksaw to cut off the part I'll need... Can also bring stock lower dash panel (if you want to revert to stock and sell your parcel shelf), 19MM oil plug with copper crush washers to replace that crappy sticky nylon-washered thing Mini stuck us with...
I haven't started the digging into the boxes and boxes of stuff I have yet... That will be the day before I leave most likely, knowing the way I tend to do these kinds of things.
I'm bringing some stuff, but it is all for a justa, which would not be of interest here. It might at MOTD however. With that many MINI's coming, some of them have got to be "justa's". Jim
Thanks Way - no pressure Jim: ON the R56 Justa parts - stock exhaust? I know someone who may take a donation or ?? It seems with the new trans and new model, there are lots of justas, and I know more than a few R50's that'll eat most folks' lunch on the dragon or an autocross run, seriously (and not bench racing or challenging, just that there are more than a few high performance Justas out there!)...
Probably will bring a set of used TSW Springs I was going to use on my R56. I think I'm going to go straight to the B-Spec KW Coilovers, instead.
I ended up with an extra pair of gen1 black jack led t/s, a boost gauge & 2pr of oem driving light brackets, everything else I have is just old oem stuff like a set of "sport springs" & not really worth bringing.
I had planned to upgrade the OEM exhaust, but figured the only difference it would make was noise, rather then performance, so I changed my mind. I really am very happy with my justa. Jim
I'm bringing a black passenger side ONLY mirror cap for an R56, And a JCW CAI with brand new filter for an R53.
Well, I have upgraded to Chrome lashes so I do have some black lashes if anyone is interested. I would love a spare rubber upper portion of the oem cup holder. I am not certain if there is a difference between Gen one and Gen two but Smurfette is Gen one. I am looking to craft it into a GPS mount. If anyone has a broken (or not!) cup holder, please let me know what you would like for it.
Any one have interst in a set of Hoosier on meyata 16 rims $350? And I think I have 2 extra tires. Note all tires are scuffs meaning race on they are good for auto x are track day.
TY! Those lashes would look pretty sweet on Kittymini You know it is pretty hard to be in a bad mood when you are in the MINI already but sometimes you are just having a really bad day and there is traffic so you cant even drive the MINI as she is meant to be driven. On those kinds of days it is not possible to remain in a bad mood with the constant stream of people waving smiling, shaking their heads before breaking into a huge grin, etc. when you are driving a MINI with car lashes. So for that purely selfish reason I love the lashes.
i have a laundry list of parts that i could bring if there is interest Alta v2 Intercooler Diverter BBS R90 Cross Spokes in silver (not perfect but good) Autometer boost guage with amber LED and custom bracket to mount to back of R53 tach Stri X-Line Boost guage and Oil Temp guage Stock rear sway bar plus more
Here's the exhaust I'm likely bringin'... (if I don't tear into it first and make it more better-er!)... this is when it was just welded up, it's now got a little road grime on it but nothing major.
