where is everyone?

[lethalr53]

I'm on various international mini forums, it seems all the south african ones are dead . Are there any mini people still around?

 

[BlueBeastie]

Yea it is generally quiet here lol, but if you need to ask anything someone will generally answer

But unless someone can give me an classic mini motor it doesn't help I post anything.

I'm here, but don't have a Mini. I would like this one though:

 

[herr bmw]

im also here,my dad had a mini in the eighties,but sold it

and i nearly bought one in december,1976 cooper,but didnt,looked like a lemon

 

[msm]

If it's any consolation, I did pitch up with my (ex) red Mini Cooper S at one of the meetups. It was a lonely Mini though ...

 

[moranor@axis]

start building some more crazy minis and out up pics that will get this section going :rollsmile:

 

[lethalr53]

msm, thats a cool pic :=): well, i have a 2004 R53 in Pepper White. been browsing some other forums also, i see there is another MINI forum thats half alive, but it seems its only for classic mini's and only for KZN.

well heres some pics of my car, in March it will be exactly a year since i have it. would love to see some other MINI pics :idea:
im probably going to upload these images wrong, anyway..

here it is when i first got it>








and some pics i took a few months ago>
















still have to put in my JCW grille and the lip ive got, which are just lying in my room :argh:

 

[msm]

Your car looks good :thumbs:

 

[moranor@axis]

very nice

cosmetic mods only?

 

[lethalr53]

well so far,
exterior
- LaminX film

- JCW Grille (yet to be fitted)

- EZ lip (awaiting arrival) (google it!)

- 17" bbs REPLICA'S. i removed the runflats and now have normal tires. much better, comfortable ride. and the 17" MINI COOPER S wheels and runflats weigh in at 11.4 KG's each.

wanted a full aero/body kit fitted, after Scott at Durban SMG emailed me the quote, which was for R16 000!!!!!!!! , i gave up on that idea. still thinking about an aero front bumper only and leaving the rear, and sideskirts as is.

interior
- carbon fibre wrapped dash,

- Rally gearknob


performance/handling
- Eibach pro-kit springs

- K&N Typhoon air filter

- ultraspeed rear sway bar

- contemplating whether or not to get a 17% Reduction Pulley, belt, and tentionor stop as the MINI dealership here in durbs are going to get back to me on whether or not they can fit it :nonono: .

- CPi software depending on if i get the pulley or not.

Nice Mini, welcome to the boards.

Was this meet at Edenglen? Background seems familiar...

 

[moranor@axis]

come now... do a full write up on the car to give the mini guys inspiration... the car is fairly worked :rollsmile:

 

[Philip Foglar]

Has been very quiet lately when it comes to the Mini members - we need more activity and also when it comes to the breakfast runs! :thumbs:

 

[lethalr53]

Haha,will install the lip,grille, and will post better pics/write up soon. This time ill actually take pictures with a digital camera so your going to see many more megapixels :rollsmile: .Is there any way to post vids here?
I'm going to install my cheapskate cone filter and show how a mini can sound like an F1 car
:joy:

I will try to blend in the SEAT guys next breakfast run, those guys always seem to be having runs,events etc. - in kzn at least

 

[moranor@axis]

good stuff :rollsmile: if you do a write up its sure to attract more miniguys to the site then hopefully the seat guys will be coming with on the mini runs...

 

[herr bmw]

car looks good:thumbs:

@msm,isnt that a wimpy breakfast meet up?

 

[Twinz]

Your Mini looks good. Look forward to read about the build and more pix.

1. Create a photobucket account then you can upload high resolution pix here by using the photobucket img code.

2. You can post videos from youtube or photobucket, just copy paste the img code here
