2003 Mini Cooper S modded out in OC
This is a clean titled never in car accident 03 MINI S
It has 96k miles which were mostly freeway miles. This beauty has been in CA all its life.
There is easily over $11,000 in modifications in this car.
price is $13,500 FIRM unless you want some parts removed and i'll drop the price somewhat.
car comes factory with huge moonroof , hid headlights.
Steve's Auto Clinic ported and polished head
Steve's Auto Clinic custom ECU map
Large throttle body
M7 15% supercharger pulley
M7 2% crank pulley
Quaife LSD
Fidanza lightened flywheel
Stoptech Big Brake Kit w/stainless steel brake lines
B&M Short Shifter with weighted custom shift knob
Invidia cat-back exhaust
Gauge pod (Boost and Voltage)
polyurethane inserts in motor mounts and tranny mount
-Wheels/Suspension-
Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2 (Black, 17x7.5) fits flush to the fender
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
Ireland Engineering rear sway bar w/endlinks
Ireland Engineering Camber Plates - adjustable street&track
Ireland Engineering Rear Camber Links - adjustable street/track
-Cosmetic-
Aero kit front bumper and side skirts
Tiburon shift boot cover
Custom tow hook
entire interior and doors are damped with sound insulation
custom Whalen weighted shift knob
estimated power is 230 hp to the wheels!!!
recent new clutch, brake pads, fluid changes, $350 engine/radiator fan, motor mounts, oxygen sensors, Brisk Racing sparkplugs, oem plugwires,oem ignition, new thermostat housing and thermostat...all oem mini products!!!
Full disclosure:
Car has a clean title and NEVER has been involved in any accidents whatsoever.
This car is close to a street/race set up you will see. Keep in mind because of this it's not a quiet car nor a luxury type ride. it's a super gokart.
I put polyurethane spacers in the tranny mount and motor mounts. the car has a loudish invidia exhaust, shrick cams n port/polished heads, bilsteins make the suspension pretty firm, ireland engineering rear sway makes noises due to it's design as well as the traction bars, and the lightened flywheel causes clutch chatter, stoptechs squeal when pads not warmed up. Even though i dampened the entire car it's still not that quiet and you get NVH being modded like it is. If you're expectations are anywhere of a car being close to stock do NOT come to see it. If you want to own a car that's just plain outright "done up" , handles better than many cars on the street and has a good amount of power for its tiny motor...run down and pick this beauty up!!!
2 dings on body. driver's side hood/fender. rear driver's side near gas filler.
minor chips/rash on aero bumper and some on hood from highway driving.
wear on driver's seat bolster.
some plastic wear from both door handles. the silver color wore off.
speedometer was replaced recently becuase BMW for some weird reason places instrument panel relays in the speedo. Issue was that guage/dash lights wouldn't turn off and blew fuses. I replaced the speedo with a used unit and since the odometer is in the speedo, it has different mileage. i have pics of the old 1 and the new one to show that mileage was not made up. odometer currently shows around 22,000 while actually it's 96,000. Obviously I could have lied stating SUPER low miles but I have ethics. The DSC and TPS lights are on the speedo. It wasn't doing that before I swapped the cluster. I found info that it could be due to a steering angle sensor which got placed out of whack some. That could be it since the car does have a bumpy ride or it could be simply the cluster.
At times I will get a P0420 check engine code. I replaced the oxygen sensor with a Bosch universal sensor but I think it needs the oem style. My guess is due to the cam,heads,maf,ECU tune and higher flow injectors it's running rich and triggering the sensor. As a back up plan I will also include a Edge racing header and stock catalytic converter just in case. No charge.
This car is my daily driver and has been very reliable.
