R53 MCS :)

So swifty has finally sold....& I picked up this on Monday evening ....

2005 facelift R53 Cooper S
Missed my R50 Mini so much & after changing my mind a million times I finally decided i'd be silly not to go back to what I loved the most.

It already has a Miltek exhaust, pipercross airfilter, upgraded denso spark plugs & a reduced supercharger pulley, a nice start to a project

Today a Mini friend of mine popped over & we swapped our headlights, he had joey'd Xenons & had standard ones , so it was a win win to be honest....

Cheers Chris!
Another update already!
Carbon bonnet scoop...

Also had a dig under the bonnet today to find out what Supercharger pulley had been put on it, turns out its this...

Need to get a better photo though, as I did some research & turns out it could be a 15% or 17% either way its gained between 15-21 Bhp from it!

i need to keep up!! lol! looks nice!

Hello supercharged friend <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
Looking nice! Any big plans?

Cheers Vlad,
Well bigger intercooler, custom manifold & decat, need to do some research on the best induction, & then a map
My aim is 225bhp

Coilovers on ...

Only a quick photo taken on my phone.

I take it you managed to put coilovers on yourself looks much better!

I didn't do it in the end, the place I used to work did it in the end XD

Super pleased with it, quite happy to leave it be for a little while now, time to save for some power gains

i got to say one thing... im not fond of them wheels.. really let it down i think. but thats my opinion!
