Green Mini

Project

What you planning on doing?

West · 24 Jan 2009 at 14:44

My R53 Chilli Red Mini Cooper S (54 Plate)
170bhp
220 Nm/162 lb-ft
0-60 in 7.0s
49,000 Miles on the clock.

Spec:

Chilli Pack, inclusive of Half Leather sport seats.
17" S Spoke Alloys
Bi Xenon Headlights (With matching LED Side lights)
Denison ICE Link for my Ipod (It would appear that it does have the HK system as the sound system is exceptional)
Chilli Red Dash inserts
And plenty of laughs!!

(Excuse the poop photos had to take them with my phone!)

West · 24 Jan 2009 at 16:53

I know i've had it less than a week and it's filthy... done about 200 miles though lol!

I get paid next week so i'll be getting some proper cleaning stuff

InvaderGIR · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:28

It's a bit...urmmm...pink?

benjo · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:31

You should call it the Prawn :cool:

My new car. Seat Ibiza 130 sport. PD130 pulls very well and the TT 312mm brake setup means it stopped like nothing ive ever drove before!

Duke · 24 Jan 2009 at 18:08

Looks tidy (although more time spent cleaning the alloys is needed

). Why the big brakes?

benjo · 24 Jan 2009 at 18:09

Did the rust come with the brakes?

i don't want to **** on your parade, because it's a fantastic car, but i don't like the red inserts on the inside..
or the lack of steering wheel controls, climate and full leather..
and the HK system isn't all that

it is a cracking little car though, enjoy it

@Crossy - good car, good engine. any plans?

West · 24 Jan 2009 at 23:10

a lot of people don't like the red inserts.. but I do

As I said in the post, please excuse the poor photo's my sisters SLR battery was dead so I couldn't pinch it

[TW]Fox · 24 Jan 2009 at 23:19

Jeez West no wonder they were so keen to get rid of that Cooper S, it's pink and has no spec at all

mjt · 24 Jan 2009 at 23:22

how can you call that 'half leather'? surely it's three-quarters cloth..

Hey. Its going to be a somewhat sympathetic restoration to how it would have looked in '66. Factory colour was red apparently, so itll be that and a black roof. Going to keep the minilites white, although because they are 6" wide I'll have to run sizeable arches to cover the tread

Going to keep the cage inside, then probably some cobra classics or something similar.

As for the engine, still undecided. Current 998 will be outed. Thinking either a small bore build (1030cc, cooper head) or a big overbore to a 1380. The latter with a st3 head, 276 cam, weber 40, and aldon ignition system. Have most of the parts for that aside the block already

but yeah, need to sort a new floor, door steps and sills first!

Pictures are a little crap but i took them in a rush!

Always though those alloys were a big daggy, not too shabby with that colour paintwork. Not daggy at all.

Just sprayed the Chevrons white and almost instantly after fitting, on comes the downpour.

Quick pic due to rain. Will get a better one tomorrow.
