J-Euro Mini Works Cooper S

[Nahguavkire]

'Sup heads,
I've been lurking on the forum and blog for a while now and figured I'd show you my Mini. Somewhat foolishly I've decided my little sister can learn to drive in my car so I'll probably never see it again but here it is.

1997 Japanese Import Mini Cooper S Works
Sportpack Arches
7x13 Superlight Softline Deepdish Alloys w/Yokohama A048R tyres
Millenium Twin DTM Side Exit Exhaust system (Lukey DTM single centre in picture)
Air Con
Minidisc (Most Japanese extra EVER)
Leather Bonnet Straps
Black Leather Interior w/John Cooper Embossed Seats
Moto Lita Woodrim Wheel
Resprayed in BMW Liquid Yellow









I've had a few new Minis too but nothing special, really need something economical and practical soon so thinking I might pick up a diesel Clubman so watch this space...

Thanks guys, not sure if I'll ever get around to doing anymore work on it though. Motor's a proper John Cooper Works tuned S which is quite awesome, goes like stink! It's a Japanese Import and has the Japanese air-con in it though which weighs a tonne and saps the power so I might still get rid of that and do some little things on it. Kind of reluctant to spend too much money on it now though because it's too impractical for everyday use so hopefully going to have something else to focus on soon, torn between a 5-door A3 2.0 tdi/ BMW 120D (five-door or coupé)/ Mini Clubman Cooper D/ BMW E46 320D Touring... Recommendations?

Huh? I'm not Dutch and they aren't 888s, A048Rs my man! Like glue to the road!

Good looking Mini! Nice to see some more on here. What's Minidisc?

[Nahguavkire]

What's Minidisc?

Thanks Bro'! Wikipedia that up, Minidisc was a format that came after CD but before MP3/ iPod. You can't get them anywhere anymore! Utterly pointless and the JDM radio can't pick up Irish radio frequencies so it's kind of a nuisance, needs a new head unit.
