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.

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.

2014 Mini Cooper Clubvan
Mon, 08 Apr 2013A Premium Van For The Modern-Day Milkman
We first saw the Mini Clubvan at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, then in December again at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on a stock Mini Clubman, the Clubvan's dimensions are identical, while all side windows aft of the middle pillar are blocked out from the inside with handy polycarbonate liners (read: fancy plastic) and have body color skin on the outside, while the rear windows are tinted to boot. It looks like a van and works like a van, so it must be a van. A Mini-van, though.
Where is Mini going with this relatively low-cost (to the company) product line extension? The chief market for this nimble little hauler is cities in Great Britain where they were frequently in bygone days identified as milk delivery vans. These days, though, there are - even in the US now - lower cost smaller urban delivery vans from Ford, Ram and Nissan. Therefore, the spin is that the Mini Clubvan is designed to cater to smaller boutique firms in need of making a fashionable impression while delivering the goods to people living in penthouses and such. Think: Florists, caterers, and so on.
