2003 Mini Cooper S 77,000 Miles, 6 speed manual, Grey cloth seats, Front sliding sunroof rear fixed sunroof, Xenon headlights, Cold AC, Darkest legal ceramic tint on all windows including the sunroofs(cost $500 to have installed). Most of the exterior chrome has been blacked out including- aero package front grill, blacked out belt line, headlight trims painted black, base model black side scuttle trims, smoked scuttle turn signals, Base model fuel door. The engine has had a few upgrades done which include- 15% overdrive supercharger pulley, 2% overdrive aluminum crank pulley, Detroit Tuned bypass valve, DDM Intake, Borla non-s catback exhaust- This uses the same piping size as the stock S model with only one muffler and also has six(yes six!) less 90 bends than the stock exhaust. The car has a Methanol injection kit which I feel is a must for a supercharged car in our hot texas summers. This drops the intake temperature down to ambient or less and also increases the fuel octane to over 100. There is a 3 liter tank in the hatch of the car next to the battery. This lasts 1.5-2 tanks of fuel depending on how hard you drive. I will include 10 gallons of methanol with the sale of the car. Battery has been changed to an Odyssey PC680 which is 1/3 the weight of the original battery. The suspension has been upgraded with Koni Sport Yellow adjustable shocks front and rear, Mini Mania springs, Proflex poly front control arm bushings, Eibach front camber/caster plates, M2 strut tower reinforcement plates, rear adjustable control arm links. Wheels are 16" Konig Feathers with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 205/45/16 tires. Each tire wheel combo is 20lbs less than the stock 17" wheels with run flats. The wheel bolts have also been replaced with Wheel studs and nuts. Front brakes have been upgraded to the John Cooper works calipers and larger rotors with stainless braided lines and Akebono cermaic brake pads. Interior is basically stock except for a bluetooth link to stream audio through the stock radio and an Ian Cull auto up module. The module adds auto up and down to both windows along with the ability to set the traction control to be off by default and for the fog lights to come on every time the headlights are on(normally you have to switch them on every time). Shifter is a B&M short shifter with a Delrin knob. The stock metal knob burned my hand in the summer. Lastly I added a trailer hitch which is hidden inside the rear bumper. There is a little cover you pop off to access the hitch. I used this to carry my bike rack only and never towed anything with the car.

The car is in overall very good shape. It does have some minor dings and scratches which are normal for a car of this age. There is one small dent in the rear hatch(bottom right) which was there when I bought the car along with two scrapes on the top of the bumper( I put touch up paint on these) that happened at the same time. the previous owner told me some one had backed into it downtown. I have changed the oil every 4,000 miles with Royal Purple fully synthetic oil. I also run Royal Purple in the transmission. The supercharger belt was just changed a few weeks ago and the coolant and brake fluid(ATE Super Blue brake fluid was used) were flushed within the last six months.

Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.

Mini goes zany with latest accessories catalog

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

Driving a Mini is most definitely an individualistic choice - one that not everyone would get on board with. So if you're going to go with such a fashion statement, you might as well give it your own sense of style. That's where Mini's new line of accessories come in.
Available for the new third-gen Mini hardtop, the accessories offer buyers the opportunity to customize their retro hatchback as best they see fit. There are roof graphics, accessory lighting, wheel upgrades and mirror caps (like the cartoonish ones pictured at right) just like you would have found in the parts catalog for previous iterations of the Mini, but now the brand is offering four appearance kits it's calling Mini Design Lines.
The kits are color coordinated in either Vivid Green, Speedwell Blue, John Cooper Works Pro (in black, red and grey) and Essential Black and include everything from the interior trim to exterior graphics. They might not be to everyone's taste, but that kinda strikes us as the point. Scope 'em out in the extensive high-res image gallery above and the details in the press release below.

Mini Oxford gives birth to 3-millionth car [w/video]

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

With the latest generation of Minis having only recently launched a few months ago, the company's Plant Oxford has found another reason to celebrate as it reached two major milestones almost simultaneously. Since production of the new, BMW-revived version began there in 2001, the factory has produced 3 million of the retro-looking models and 2 million vehicles exported outside of the UK. Just four years ago, it was celebrating building 1.5 million of them.
The three-millionth model was a Mini Cooper S five-door hatchback with a special Union Jack paint job. At about the same time, the factory hit its two-millionth exported Mini to leave there, as well. It was a standard Mini hatchback in Volcanic Orange heading for a buyer in Japan.
UK Transport Minister Baroness Kramer attended the ceremony and said: "I congratulate the workers at Mini Plant Oxford on reaching this remarkable milestone. The Mini is a British icon and is a major part of a thriving automotive industry spearheading the growing British economy."
