FS: John Cooper Works Strut Tower Brace-$150
Performance upgrade for your suspension
This performance strut tower brace made of aluminum and adjustable at the ends mounts to the strut towers and bolts down with hardware nuts.
JCW emblem engraved into the center of the brace arm.
Reduces body rolls and torsion for a better feel.
This Part Fits the Following Vehicles: R55, R56, R57, R58, R59
This costs $234.00 NEW from ECS. I'm selling this for $150. It is flawless and basically new with zero scratches or marks of any kind. Save some money and the hassle of shipping for what is essentially a new strut brace. I will be at several DCMM events this season, can arrange the sale for then, or we can meet up at your convenience. Prefer local pick up, not interested in shipping.

PRICE REDUCED! $100
The front brakes are off the car and ready to go. Can provide images if you contact me. Everything is in great shape and the pads and rotors have a ton of life left in them.
Let me know if you are interested.

I'm in the process of a front brake upgrade to my 2009 R56. I'm selling LEFT and RIGHT front calipers, pads and rotors. These will fit any 2007 to 2014 R55, R56 or R57 with no modification. These were also used on the 2002 to 2006 MINI Coopers as the upgraded JCW brakes. Would make a great upgrade to any R53! The Calipers have roughly 55,555 miles on them, and the pads and rotors have less than 20,000. Everything is in perfect working order and will be removed by mid March and ready to go to a new home. Can include brake lines if interested.
$300 for everything. Local pick up only.
Contact me here with a PM, or on my cell via text if interested. 301-651-1656.

Hey gang.
While jacking up the car in the garage, the jack tipped over and gouged my lower panel on the drivers side.
Do we have a paint vendor that fixes this sort of thing? Looking for recommendations. I’ve already got one estimate for a place in Sterling that was highly regarded. I already have on order the black trim that goes below the painted panel.
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks to all for putting this together and making it happen! And a BIG thanks to Devon for leading the pre-ride! I really appreciate your efforts with putting together runs this year. It's been a blast!

The 14th work better for me. Or another date after if others want to go first, I don't mind being scheduled separate.

Legit question here. Will they provide or have any kind of visual for the before and after. I've seen where people post a before and after photo. I know it's kind of a tough area to view/work in, so not sure if this is plausible. I'd just like to see what kind of build up there is and what the cleaning removes. This will not in any way change my mind about the service, I'd just like to see the end result to know it took care of the build up.
Thanks!

It used to be Freddy, but he has recently left PTUNING. In general, anyone who answers the phone, however Mike the manager is a MINI owner and is very knowledgeable.

The 4 wheel alignment at PTUNING was $135. Club discount of 10% was applied to that.
I did adjust the front a bit before the alignment, dropped it a .25".

Here are some pictures after getting an alignment at PTUNING on Monday. I'm in the process of fine tuning the dampening, but am really happy with the ride height and smaller fender gap. What's interesting is how smooth it is on the highway at speeds above 60. Slower speeds are a bit more jittery, but I can adjust that with the dampening and find that sweet spot.

Just wanted to give a HUGE thank you and shout out to Corey Brown! I asked on the forum here about installing some coilers and Corey offered to assist. He was gracious enough to drive an hour each way and was immensely patient and showed me the ropes. Corey's attention to detail and knowledge really put me at ease and I really enjoyed the process. His act of kindness is one of the reasons I joined the MINI community and one of the best parts about this club! Good people coming together with a love for all things MINI.
Thanks Corey, and his wife Brandy for loaning him out for his services!

INTERESTED! Not sure I'm due for it just yet tho. I believe my car had it at about 32,000, and I'm at 52,000 now.

Count me in, +1 for my co-pilot.

Corey.
I will also be getting the H-Sport adjustable rear control arms. https://www.waymotorworks.com/h-sport-rear-camber-links.html
Do you recommend getting adjustable sway bar end links for the front as well? https://www.waymotorworks.com/wmw-adjustable-swaybar-endlinks.html
I have a garage, couple of jack stands and a torque wrench, but otherwise I'm lacking a bit in the tools department.
Let me know what you would need from me for your services? Once I've sourced all of the necessary parts, I'd be looking to do this by April at the latest.
Thanks!

Hey gang.
Does anyone in the club have skills with coilover installation on a MINI Cooper R56 S? I'm purchasing a set of Megan Racing Euro Street 2's and wanted to know if anyone has done coilovers on their MINI. It seems like a reasonable job for DIY, but I don't have the knowledge or tools to pull it off on my own. After install I would take it to get a proper alignment.
Any insight is appreciated.

Is Darryl at Odds and Ends still an official vendor? I have a few scratches I'd like to get removed.
Thanks!

Looks like I'll be in the market for rear pads and rotors for my R56.
I've been considering the JCW 4 Piston Sport Brake Brembo upgrade when it was time to do my brakes.
I'm wondering if any R53 owners would be interested in buying my R56 calipers? I understand the R56 calipers were the brakes used on the R53 for the JCW upgraded brakes. My car has 50k miles on a 2009 MCS.
Price is negotiable.
Any interest?
