Hey all. Been crusing this forum for a while now. never really got around to posting an intro, so better late than never. I got an 03 Mini Cooper S, which is pretty much bone stock at the moment. I am a broke college kid, so i got no money to throw at it at the moment, but once i get out of tech school, that all will change All i got are shitty phone shots of it, but i promise she is clean

On the dyno. All 120 rampaging horses through the front wheels

She is purty offroading, don't you think?

only 120 to the wheels? hmmmmm

yeah. it makes 160 at the motor, accompanied with the slight age, i think the loss is about right. about 20% loss for fwd cars. at 100k i plan on doing a smaller pulley and intake as i have to do belts and plugs anyways, might as well drop a little more

Love the cooper. I'm quite a fan

Just to give everyone an idea on how difficult it is to work on these things, this is when my water pump started pissing and i had to replace it. 5 arduous hours of labor and she was running like a champ afterwards ^^
