Kansas City MINI Enthusiasts

Someday I'd like to do Koni Yellows and TSW springs on my 06. Just haven't been able to justify the money thus far since my stocks are fine. Even asked Baron when they did my 60k inspection and they said everything was fine. Alas.

Decided to skip the spare and just took the rim to get the tire swapped. Then I noticed that its bent on the inside lip. *sigh* Waiting to hear back if they can repair it, otherwise I'll need a replacement. $170 via eBay, $260 via Baron, or just buy a set of new 17's for the car... Its one of the th...

I think white would look great on this car.

So, I have non-runflats on my 06 Cooper S and got a flat today (stupid pothole). I needed new tires anyway so I have Douglas Tire here in Lees Summit getting me a set tomorrow. The problem is, the car is now in my garage with a flat, and no spare. However, we also have a Honda Fit. I know both are 4...

The company our HOA uses to clear snow (maint. provided community) was out last night at 10pm to clear our townhouse community. They also hit the road which is unusual for them. So, I had a plowed subdivision this morning. Made it to work from Lees Summit to Olathe in the Mini without any issue. Gra...

I wouldn't rule one out personally.

I'll be more excited if/when they release the rumored 2-door version of it (not having kids and all). The mock-ups look great.

Holy thread necromancy!

Anyway, be careful as that is a common bike route and has quite a few blind corners.

I've lurked that site for like 7 years and only have a handful of posts. Part of it is kind of like watching a reality show with all the drama. It passes the time at work for sure.

Really hard to tell. I was able to remove the stripes on my pure silver 06 without any issue. I'd suggest trying to peel just a corner up slightly and see if you can see obvious paint fade or not.

You are pauly_walnuts from KCSR yes? Grats on the Mini! Whatever happened to your Del Sol? (I THINK that was you at least...)

Welcome to the site. I recognize the username from KCSR.

As an xmas gift ask for some 18" BBS rims and coilovers.

Just sayin'

I like it.

Need more silver MINI's.

Not that I am biased.

Fair warning to people as well. There will be nice Z's shown by the club, as such, you may get a burning desire to get rid of the Mini afterward. JUST SAYIN'

This was fun ~2 years ago when I went out there with we were invited out with the Z club.

Not sure if sundance does wrap or not (different than standard vinyl), but might be worth checking.

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/21/shocker-porsche-911-beats-mini-cooper-in-race-at-road-atlant/ In the over-hyped and ridiculous contrived "race" between the Mini Cooper and the Porsche 911, a victor has been crowned, and as you'd expect, the blokes from BMW had their bumpers handed to th...

Actually its MINI who end up looking silly in all of this: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/06/minicourse630.jpg Last we checked, Road Atlanta was a famed professional 2.54-mile racetrack, not an oversized autocross layout on a training skidpad. Somebody may need to remind Mini USA...

So its going to have "mad tyte JDM exhaust" then?

Personal opinions: Hood scoop should match the hood. Roof would look better black. Get black mirror caps as well. Could probably get the roof wrapped cheaper than paint, plus could remove it if you wanted later. I think black handles/headlight rings will only "work" with the black wheels (...

Nothing wrong at all with a Genesis.

Plenty wrong with trading a car after only 12 days...

Grats on the MINI.

Looks good for the most part. I'm kind of past my big speaker box days I guess, the loss of any usable rear space is just annoying to me now. That said, it seems a might loud/much for such a small interior I'd think. I had a 600x1 MTX amp pushing a 12" Xtant sub in my Matrix when I had it. Kept...

I'd still like to tag along to watch one of the days. The last time I tried we got rained out.

Since I can't run on the track and all...
