A/C ice cold, All scheduled maintenance, Always garaged, Looks & drives great, Must see, Satellite radio, Seats like new, Title in hand, Upgraded sound system, Very clean interior, Well maintained Just bought a few months ago and would not be selling it if the wife wasn't pregnant with our first kid. This is very fast and agile car that is a blast to drive. It does have a few scuffs on the bumpers from the previous owner but it still looks fantastic as you can see from the pictures. Tires are in good shape and I had it aligned professionally recently. Brakes are about 6 months old and have great bite. This an awesome car don't let it pass you by.
1a.) These are the mechanical modifications I know of:
a.) Lowered - I don't know how many inches. Whomever lowered the car did not replace the rear control arms and the rear tires were bald on the inside because of the negative(?)camber. I replaced the control arms and had the car's bearings checked and had an alignment done professionally. The rear tires were replaced and balanced at the same time. Incidentally, I had hired the company eBay uses to check out a car when you cannot inspect it in person. He called me while he was inspecting it and said that there weren't any leaks, A/C was ice cold, etc. etc. But he didn't catch the tires which was a safety issue. But everything else was in good shape mechanically. As for the springs and shocks they are plenty stiff and this thing can take corners while flying.
b.) Short air intake
c.) MSD Ignition
d.) Custom Magnaflow exhaust
1b.) These are the cosmetic modifications that I know of:
a.) Clear middle tail light - blinks several times when brake pedal is pressed and then goes solid (cool safety feature)
b.) Front Halo Parking/Turn-signal lights
c.) 4 fog lights
d.) Aftermarket front grill
e.) Aftermarket Rims (Shoei?)
f.) Carbon fiber bonnet scoop
g.) Black headlights (I installed these)
h.) Carbon fiber sideview mirrors
i.) Carbon fiber rear hatch handle
j.) Smoked LED/Incandescent hybrid tail lights (I installed these)
k.) Custom black tachometer and speedometer
l.) Carbon fiber center console pillars
m.) Kenwood Excelon headunit with XM/Sirius receiver (yes the steering wheel controls work :D) - Rockford Fosgate component speakers in the front and Kenwood 6x9s in the back - Pioneer Sealed Subwoofer powered by a 250w Jenson amp, which is plenty loud for the size of the car(I installed the system)
2.) I do not know who did the mods other than the ones I did myself.
3.) There are minor scuffs on the rear bumper that are just your typical dings and scratches.
4.) The only issues that I have had with the car were:
a.) The previously mentioned alignment/tire issue
b.) The driver's side door quit unlocking with the key fob. This seems to be a pretty common thing with the mini's and was easily fixed. All I had to do was pull the lock actuator out of the door and open it and reset a cable. I went ahead and cleaned it up and re-greased all of the mechanical pieces while i was in there. It is working just fine now :)
5.) I do not have service records. I purchased this car in June '12 so i have only had it for 8 months. The only servicing done to it were the previously mentioned alignment and an oil change I did myself with Castrol Syntec (I did it the proper way too with a new magnetic drain plug and all that). I also cleaned the intake filter and replaced the cabin filter last week.
There may be other mods that I dont know of. I'm just mechanically competent to a point and then I let the professionals take over. I do have the official Bentley manual for the car and it will come with it free of charge if you want it. The book has been invaluable for the work that I have done.

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a hot hatch crossover coupe
Thu, 13 Dec 2012The Mini John Cooper Works Paceman, the seventh in the JCW line and called "the first Sports Activity Coupe in its class," is here. It takes its place at the top of the Paceman food chain with a 1.6-liter, twin-scroll turbocharged engine putting out 218 horsepower, with 201 pound-feet of torque on tap and 221 lb-ft available with overboost. Those numbers get the JCW Paceman from zero to 62 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds with either the six-speed manual or automatic transmission, but top speed with the automatic is one mile per hour shy of the manual's 140 mph. Fuel economy has been rated at a combined 35.8 US mpg on the EU cycle.
It earns its JCW stripes with a suspension that's been lowered by 10 millimeters over 18-inch lightweight alloys, Mini's ALL4 all-wheel drive, an aero kit to beef up its profile, plus a sports exhaust with dual chrome pipes. Inside, a sport steering wheel and plenty of contrasting materials represent the lineage, further emboldened by Chili Red accents to match the exterior.
The Mini JCW Paceman will say "'Allo, guv'nor" to the world at the Detroit Auto Show next month, then hit showrooms in March. The press release just below can tell you all you want to know about it until then.
First Mini John Cooper Works prototype spied
Fri, 14 Feb 2014The highlight of Mini's 2014 Detroit Auto Show stand was the arrival of the John Cooper Works Concept, a sportier version of the three-door hatch that presages the next JCW model on the new platform. Now, we have our first images of the production car undergoing winter testing way up north in Sweden.
Really, the Mini camouflage can't hide what this car is. Between the JCW-branded brake calipers and extra intakes in the front fascia, it's fairly easy to see that this is the sportier version of the car our own Jeremy Korzeniewski wrote about last week. We're expecting the JCW variant to pack a fair bit more firepower than the three-cylinder Cooper he tested, of course. Rumors have circulated that the hottest Mini model could jump to 230 horsepower, up from the current, non-GP car's 208.
There are a number of style features missing here, and while it's entirely possible we'll see things like the JCW Concept's diffuser and side gills arrive when this car is shown in production form (or even further along in testing), their absence in these spy photos is telling. We certainly think this car will become the production JCW Hardtop, but there may be another explanation. The lack of certain aesthetic features means this could be a test of the JCW Engine Kit, which in past Minis slotted in between the standard Mini Cooper S and the factory Works car. We'll admit, it's a long-shot, but there is precedent for it - the JCW Tuning Kit arrived a year before the factory model in the last-generation car. The same reasoning could be used to explain the presence of the JCW-branded brakes, which have been another well-known Mini accessory over the years.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
