    The new beater....

    Well, the beemer has been having some problems, somesort of fuel injection problems, and with 160,000 miles on it, i decided to garage it and prepare for a rebuild someday, better to do it before the engine blows, or anything worse,

    soo, i had to get something else and here it is


    2006 Mini Cooper S - 8500 miles, supercharged 1.6 bmw engine, 6 speed, would give the beemer a run for its money












    had to get some mods

    Alta Intercooler Air Diverter with water sprayer
    Alta CAI





    soo tell me what u think,
    believe me i know, IT a Freakin MINI!!, i would much rather be driving the e30 but driving a perfected rebuilt e30 couple years down the road sounds much sweeter, e30 4 life

        I've wanted a new Mini S since they came out. There's been a few occasions when I've seriously considered selling my car and buying one. They're a fucking blast to drive, they don't drive like a FWD car at all.

          I've always thought those were kinda cool. Weird interior though.

            got the warrntie, 4 year/40,000 i bought it from a bmw dealership and it had the CAI on it and i asked if it was still covered and they said ya,

            well i called a mini dealership and they said no, sooo if anything happenes i can probably get away with the bmw dealership paying for it,

            as for the other mods i can take off and they wouldnt know

                  They are damn nimble! Does the S come with lsd especially with a supercharger ? One thing I can't stand on them is the interior/ dash lol
