    Ok this is not a USA only sight. Yes most of us are in the US but everyone is welcome. Part of trying to rebuild MA is to make it where all Mini enthusiasts will come and share what they have done to their cars. Overseas Mini enthusiasts are very welcome!

    The rule here is if you are going to criticize a vender it is from the prospective of what happened to you and your interaction with the vender. @Svampfest has done this. His opinion is valid and welcomed just like everyone else opinion.

    We all have our favorite venders and might not like hearing they have dropped the ball but they are human and it happens! The venders are welcome to come and answer any post.

    What is expected is everyone is respectful and not to air out dirty laundry!

    I like RMW but that is based on my experience with them. Some like Thumper based on their experience. Some do not.
    @Svampfest says he had a bad experience and appears too have proof of a bad part. Jan is welcome to give his side of what happened.

    But I will not allow this to get ugly!

    @Dave.0 Instead of getting aggravated, given your relationship with Jan/RMW you could offer to step in and see if you can help. This may be a big misunderstanding.

    The rules that apply here,

    1-You have a complaint about a vender it is first person and factual
    2-You are respectful!


    Your MA Mom

    the great thing about this getting way more oil in the system and getting the weight back in the corner that is the lightest on the car.

    That looks amazing!! I can't afford a kit like that for awhile, but it is certainly being added to the want list.

    Welcome to M/A! Jan comes and goes, but usually checks posts on here regularly. Even so, send him a private message to ensure a response.

    Guessing the car has coilovers and could be raised to whatever height needed for your needs. I almost bought a kit when my MINI became a non DD but still would have been a street car. I had coilovers to adjust as needed.. Main reason I didn't pull the trigger is it is made out of Fiberglass and with those front fender flares being open on the back side it would be throwing rocks right at the rear flares. Granted typical little stones wouldn't be a big deal, but IF it picked up a good size one and crack goes the rear flare and a replacement is half way around the world...Race cars usually have a clean track so not as big a deal till you go off road with it...

    I talked to Jan about this last night. Onur you told him on Instagram (before you blocked him) to keep the Diff “as a gift’ if he could put it in a car and have it work.

    Gift - no refund

    Also he did get it installed in another R53 and it’s running fine with everything the correct oil in it.

    (Motul 75w-140)

    No, Jan is not coming to M/A to deal with these BS drama threads.

    Looks great!! Could give me reason to take the Aero bumpers off and put the stock bumpers back on the car.. but I'm guessing this ain't gonna be as cheap as the aero kit was from MINI...

    Sweet! Do you have the wheel/tires specs for that car handy? I would drool over being able to fit 275-15 Hooisers hehehehe but I would prolly just do 15x9 square to start with as I don't think I have the horsepower for 275s lulz

    That oil cooler setup would be pretty slick too... I hate that i have to run mine infront of the radiator.
