Picked this up this evening. Pulled up outside the house and before I'd even got out of the car had the following whatsapp from the wife:
It is indeed rather loud. This will need to be rectified. Not only for the sake of my marriage, but to be able to use it on trackdays.
The car itself is a 2003 pre facelift Cooper S in that common grey. It has a white roof that's been wrapped black. The owner before the guy I bought it from spent a LOT of money on it.
Brief spec:
JCW engine fitted 2015 after OE engine failed
ARP Headbolts
Cat Cam from 1320
550cc injectors
Oranjje Stealth Airbox
Airtec Intercooler
15% reduction pulley on the charger
Janspeed manifold
Custom manifold back stainless exhaust
Mapped by 1320 at 225bhp at the wheels with a 500rpm rev limit increase
AP Coilovers
R56 Front brakes
Wheel spacers
Sparco Assetto Corsa wheels
It is frankly stupid. I love it. It needs a fair bit of tidying up. The bonnet has bad laquer peel and one of the A panels is dented. It needs a damn good clean inside and out.
My only plans for it are to fit a facelift gearbox with LSD, quiten down the exhaust, remove the black wrap, replace the damaged panels and drive the wheels off it.
A couple of pics that aren't mine. Will get some over the weekend.
Off to Mini in the park in it on Sunday.
