Jaidens update.

Got the wheels, got the coil overs.... Still need some stuff. Heres how she sits now.
Im very happy with the stance so far. Id still like her lower. :o

Need some negative camber up front, although it looks really nice as is.
Rough specs; 17x7 with 195/40/17 and a +30mm offset up front. 17x8.5in with 205/40/17 and a +27mm rear.
Vmaxx coils. All the way down front and rear. Modding will need to be done in the future. Hahh!

 

looks great. i use to have a indiblue/black MCS myself. great color. :)

 

Thats how a mini should look! dope status!

 

¡Me gusta! Pic 3 and 2 look great.

Blacking out the gas cap made a big difference on the driver side, it doesn't look as off balanced compared to the passenger side, and I've always like the new MINIs with black belt lines. Keep it up Ray.

What are you using to shine the fender arches? A friend of mine has an R56 S and her arches look horrible after she washes the car.

 

OMG Ray

I love this so much

I have to clean off my moniter

 

Unbelievably sex.

 

actually the belt line is chrome.. underneath.
he had that as well as the roof covered in black vinyl. (after a spoiler delete)
it was white with the pano roof- looks much cleaner all black.

also for the plastics- Turtle Wax Ice. you can use it on every surface, it really "blacks" up the plastics, unlike paste wax which leaves white residue.

 

PS, the exhaust is my fav :p

 

I actually used some vinyl cleaner at work. Its very mild, some actually came off in the morning dew.
Its really great for a show and what not, in this case pictures.

Thanks everyone. Shes not done though. Wheels are getting some color.

 

nice pics, that camber in the rear looks like it got worse hah i dont remember it being that much. As for the wheels...... you know what I think...

 

Probably been asked and answered already but hey, Are those Porsche Cup wheels? Either way they are niiiiiiiiccccceeee. Good to see you are endangering small mammals with your ride height again Ray. Do you notice a difference in ride quality between the Fit and the MINI? I mean given that they have similar wheelbase and all.....

 

looks nice ray, very simple

 

Stock for stock they rode about the same. Honestly, the Mini seemed softer.
These coils Im on are the cheapest ones made. Hah! Its only height adjustment. They are stiffer than stock, but it doesnt seem by much. The rears need to be stiffer, dips make the rear tires rub a lot.

Wheels are considered Twists. Same size and everything I had on my GTi
Theyre from a Boxster S.

Wait till theyre painted. :-P

 

I love the exhaust reminds of a murcielago's...

 

Thanks! I love it too, best $200 I spent on an exhaust.
Here... Listen

I knew the belt line was chrome from the factory, they're like that on all new MINIs, and if I recall correctly OutMotoring makes pre-cut vinyals to black out or color match it. On the other hand, I didn't know that the roof is actually white, from the pictures it looked like a factory black roof at a glance.

And Turtle Wax Ice eh? Might have to try that stuff out.

 

holy awesome sound Ray!

 

Do the brakes interchange between the brands with Minis the way they do with VW? That was my fantasy mod on my Jetta wagon i had, Boxster S brakes.... Seems to be blowing a little oil by when you stomp on it, but it does sound good!

 

Its fuel, oil is blue.

 

stupidMCSowner, sounds awesome!
