It's technically a Bmw... My daily build.

man, now i want one, got to drive a 6 speed cooper s I think it was a 2006, from San Diego back to Riverside, so like a 90 something mile drive. Loved every second of it.

They're definitely fun!

what ya asking for it?

$7500 as it stands, based on what others in the area are going for/ have been sold for.

Serious talk... How many cars do plan on fucking up in your lifetime? It's an honest question.

Maintinance and detailing is now considered fucking a car up? The only car I ever did anything bad to was the v8 one, and I have no regrets

He hit you with the "serious talk", not even "real talk"! haha :hitler:

Well now that you've got it registered, why not keep it until summer rolls around? Bitches love MINIs, it'll make a good graduation present for daddy's little girl... minus the coilover part, lol.

[FunfGan]

So I guess you're not selling the car anymore?

Still trying haha.

Your license plate is trying to escape.

Finally got the car registered, then the alternator went. So I spent my Saturday doing the alternator, belt and belt tensioner.






Got stuck for half an hour trying to get OUT of my driveway. FWD FTW.









Did some stupid things being a stupid neighbor kid








Cleaned and detailed the car a few times










Before and after a real light buff and wax;








Polished exhaust tips;







And a 5min engine bay clean.

Sounds like a plan, it's actually supposed to be in the 40's on Saturday

Hahaha omg, not even a muffler? Lol. Just make sure you buy two v-band clamp kits... those are crucial for the mid pipe.

BTW, should've mentioned you can just do a budget cutout - bit of a bitch to turn on/off, but it's a very cheap (read: $30) alternative that you can add the electric part to later:

Seriously, you'll have to swing by sometime this week/end, the difference between on/off is amazing. The ability to be like "I wanna go for a drive. It's 9PM" and not piss of your neighbors is glorious.

I daily drove the car for a year and a half open header, including multiple 4+ hour trips, I don't mind the noise LOL.


But I'll definitely swing by, maybe Saturday? I'll text you.

Dave that's awesome! And I can give you money for beer, but I can't buy it hahah.


And yeah, I'll probably just do no cut out, and straight pipe back to two 4" polished blast pipes, but in the meantime I'll get the rest ordered!

And we can definately wait till it's warmer, and if you want even just the main section would be fine, I can figure out the rest as I'll be experimenting with different mufflers and resonators.
