Hello from Livingston

Hi all, thanks for letting me join. Got myself a R53 MCS a few months back and it's good to see a forum set up for us north of the border.

Will get some pics up once I've given it a wash haha

It was prefitted with a S/S exhaust, not sure which one but the layout looks like the standard system so will possibly change that at some point.
Fitted a Ramair CAI which has made the SC sound amazing and just waiting on my pulley puller to arrive to get a 17% pulley fitted with new plugs.
Going to stay stock IC until I can afford to replace it but hopefully with the weather being as cold as it is I should get away with it for a while.

Love the Mini so much. Told the wife I fancied a car that would make me enjoy driving again and the Mini has definitely done that.
Electric blue with black roof, black scoop and 17" anthracite 8 spoke crown rims.

Just had the 17% KAVS fitted and the smile is uncontrollable now haha

[badwolf340]

Its always fun :yes nod:

I should have mentioned it before but didn't think to, my name by the way is Zihni (pron. Zee'nee). It's Turkish hence the name Turkeez :D

The 17% makes a huge difference.
The drive home from 1320 when I had mine done was awesome.
The new Janspeed mani I had fitted at the same time also helped.

I will be getting it booked in for a remap soon but have added the JCW injectors and a GRS Motorsport intercooler as well now.

Car has been running great with the 380cc injectors fitted but I will get it remapped once funds become available.

[CiderFex]

Have you had the cam done as well ?

No not yet, not sure how far I want to push the old girl.

To be honest I am enjoying the way the car feels right now so probably leave as is for now.
Remap then start working on other parts, styling, handling, etc
