.:Rally's Car:.
My car
Fronts: 15x8 et 14 205/50/15 Rears: 15x8.5  et9 205/50/15On to the pics. The ride height is not final. I'm running no camber up front, once i get some camber dialed in, i will go lower. The rear will come down once i figure out how to stretch our arches out a bit. I have a plan  I will wash up the car and have a proper photoshoot soon....as of now, pics of it parked outside my house will do  The rear wheels. You can see where it rubbed....this is the height AFTER being raised  It's no woder it rubbed. But the offset looks to be a good choice, no tread is showing outside the arch The fatty rear stance (also notice the new mods: deleted rear wiper, euro plate, red boot handle)  The lighting it playing tricks....the poke isnt as much as it appears in this pic  This pic accurately shows the poke as well as the stagger and dish of the rims. As you can see, the front could use a bit of lowering....but not until camber is changed.  and a side pic

I think im gonna attempt a mod list:
Exterior: Cooper S front bumper Cooper S side skirts Clear front indicators from powerbulbs Oranges city lights Supreme Power H7 Headlights Supreme Power H7 Foglights Clear side turn indicators Smoked side reflectors Blacked out Grill Smoothed out chrome grill surround Debadged Cooper rear Custom bonnet stripes with black pinstriping Custom checker roof with help of Idle Gear in the UK 50% tint all around Shorty antenna Interior: Removed back seats (flat floor being made) Custom cooper emblems in place of door reflectors Old-School horn and button in dash Custom made Plaid Shift boot and ebrake boot Bright white lighting in place of all stock bulbs ICE (in-car entertainment): Alpine 9833 HU Alpine crossover 5.25 speakers up front Alpine 350 watt amp under custom plaid/plexiglass enclosure Infinity 10 inch sub All easily removable for track days or mountain runs Engine Performance: K&N typhoon intake Borla Exhaust MTH ECU remap Suspension (my favorite ): H-sport sport sway bar in the rear H&R springs Koni struts Wheel/Tire: 17x7 Flik wasps in anthracite running Falken Ziex tires 15x5.5 OEM steelies for the winter...gotta get some wicked rally/snow tires for this year :twisted: 15x7 Konig Rewind wheels with 205/50/15 Kumho tires (in love with this combo) Things that are on my wish list (cant get them all....still deciding) Sparco Torino's Schroth harnesses Ireland engineering camber plates and rear control arms Ireland engineering brake lines Powerslot slotted rotors Ferodo pads(maybe another company) Sitffer bushings Brake fluid OBX header M7 throttle body New MTH programming to accompany all the changes Lighter battery (braille possibly) And despite the differences in list lengths....im more interested in performance (specifically handling) but many of my exterior mods have been made for free or from things i already had sitting around :lol: My goal is and has always been staying subtle. I want things to look completely stock to someone who doesnt really know MINI's. But i want the small details to appear to those of us who know MINI's like the back of our hand. My car (being a MC CVT) will not be winning any drag races...but its VERY quick from 0-35....and even quicker on the twisties which i love driving on. I'm really just aiming at making the best all-around vehicle for me. With handling and performance for the track but the comfort and music that i can enjoy while cruising around the country side looking for roads. Its going to be going through even more changes soon...so keep wathcing Rally_it is offline Reply With Quote

I have HUGE plans for the next one though. I'm just taking it up a BIG notch. It will be damn sexy. I love this one, but I have learned a lot and want to apply it to a new car :biggthump  :wink0: Currently thinking PW/B and darker tints...and flat black centers for my current wheels. Among other things
