Very Black R53 Mini JCW

[Bart]

Have a R53 was my sisters but I have it since 2010. It on full mental spec now after a full rebuild with forged bottom, stage 2 head, induction, cooler, oil cooler, full exhaust, KWs, GP brakes, carbon dash, Sparco seats. At the minute the aero kit is coming off and being replaced with full GP kit. Also new OZ rims.

Just bought some new wheels & rubber.

18s are too big and with run flats/hard suspension, gives for a very crashy ride.

So I've dropped to 17s and 'normal' tyres.

Looking to upgrade done chassis components next. Oh I discovered it has a LSD too, which was a nice surprise...

Nice! What tyres did you go with? I'm sticking with 18"s, but just ordered a set of PSS from Camskill

Took a while to decide actually. But went for the Hankook Evo V12 @ £64 a corner!! Can you believe that?!

Have got an Airtec TMIC and some BC coilovers going on next week?

Will be getting some braided brake hoses on too. Am tempted to go for a 17% pulley too (the JCW comes with an 11% one), but not sure on that, doesn't really need it TBH.

It was mainly the suspension really, as the stock suspension is quite hard and crashy on such a small car. Hopefully it'll be a little more comfy on the butt cheeks afterwards! Mostly for the waff, but also means I can drop it a little too

:supz:

You'll find the coilies way more comfy than the stock stuff although BCs are renowned for knocking.

Not sure on the size of the Airtec but on my GP I had a 17% but the I/C had 2 additional rows on it. That meant it could cope with the extra heat and it stopped the car suffering from temp clipping.

IF it's bigger than the stock cooler then go for the pulley, in theory it gives you 6% more bhp and torque and it'll surprise you how much difference it makes.

If you want to play with the suspension set up, get some adj top mounts and adj RCAs.
