Small update:
-Sold the BBS’s. I have some gloss black 18" OZ Ultraleggera’s with Yokohama Sports coming this week. Too bad I have to wait another 6 months to put them on. I’m sort of second guessing myself about this change but I think I’ll change my mind once the new wheels get here.
-Finally got an oil catch can and dual boost port/block off plug (BSH), and mounted it where I wanted it. It took forever to figure out how to mount it and where to run the hoses since the engine bay is so damn small. I think it looks pretty good though.
-Took the John Cooper Works badge off the hatch. Looks a lot cleaner IMO.
Besides a few little things here and there, I think I’m done till spring. I really need to get a nicer turbo heatshield that doesn’t look like crap.
hey Drew, check out www.vipcustomparts.com they make some nice stuff for the R56’s as well. RMW Dyno tuned a non JCW with just a intercooler (not even CAI) and it ended up with 216whp and 248lbs of torque on Satuday.
Niiice. I can’t wait to be tuned in the spring. You finally got tuned too? How do you like it so far?
I had some VIP parts on my previous MINI (base Cooper). I have their rear wiper delete in my JCW. They were pretty good, I’m thinking about getting their driving light setup and side scuttles.
