    Hello all. Bought the above (my first mini) a few weeks ago, and really love it.

    It's an R53 JCW.

    I've had the outside detailed, changed the timing chain tensioner, fitted GP suspension, new drop links and top mounts, and fitted racing pads all round on it. Also changed all the fluids on it.

    Also treated it to 4 new Yoko AD08R's and a private plate.

    Just need to get the geometry done and I'll get it up to Knockhill and see what it can do.

    Hopefully go on some meets/runs.

    Welcome along fellow R53 owner. Looks very tidy and hopefully see it in the flesh at some point
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
