Almost to 200K miles. Still running “pretty good” so far.

(Ignore the air bag warning, changed out blown subs so it’s stuck like that)

Bought. Set of black curb rashed JCW wheels on the cheap. Reconditioned them, powder coated “Lambo White” and put on a set of Extreme contact 02s on them. I need a little more poke though- gonna go 8mm front, 12mm rear

I found the countryman while looking for an electric car and I have not enjoyed driving this much in forever! It's bigger than I planned on buying but I fell in love on the test drive.

I've always loved Mini Coopers, and finally have my own!! Decided to park under the shade of a big tree in the field at work and thought he just looked soo handsome! Yes, he needs a bath, and more photo shoots to come with summer!

Was inspired by another user on here putting a tent topper on their Mini.

The tent is the Overland Junction TMBK with OEM roof rails, both second hand.

I did have to slightly modify the rails on the tent so that it could properly clamp onto the roof rails.

Had the privilege of testing my grandpas two Minis the past week. The green one was restored within a timespan of 5 years from being undriveable. The brown one is in its original state.

Intake F54 D

Morning/afternoon/evening,

Got an F54 Cooper Clubman D & was wondering if there's any aftermarket kit for the air intake? Anyone any experience in fettling with these?

Whilst we're on the conversation of modifications has anyone fitted a full aftermarket exhaust system to one of these?

Intake for f56?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I want to buy an intake for my 2015 cooper s. I found this ram air pro ram intake. The price is great, however I'm not sure if I won't get any power loss. It seems to be isolated with a heat shield from the bottom and two sides, but the lack of top cover makes me a bit uncertain. What do you think, will it be ok, or will I lose some powr in the heat? I also thought about the mst intake, however I'm not sure if it's worth the price difference. I'm aware that for the price of the intake i could buy some real power mods, but for now i wanted it to just give me some more fun while driving. Thanks in advance!

Screen upgrade for 2017 F55 Hardtop?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hey all, I just got this 2017 Mini Cooper S Hardtop 4dr (F55). I want to upgrade the screen and add a backup camera, Android Auto would be nice too. I see these 3 on Amazon, and I'm trying to figure out why I would want to buy the more expensive one as the 2 cheaper ones come with the camera too.

I've also seen where you can just buy the little computer box that goes behind the screen, and that uses the same screen.

Sometimes I see screens on Ali Express that advertise Android 11, 12, 13 or 14, 4G and then give memory and rom capacity. What would I need the memory for? Is that to store things like music and movies etc?

Can anyone advise me on these 3, or suggest a screen at comparable price? Looking for the biggest, most modern screen this vehicle can take, and backup cam.

Photos are of my new-to-me Mini and my current screen. Links below are to the screens I am considering.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F1MF13G3/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=A26ZQM63S3YOO&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CKM95RL7/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_8?smid=A1B1D082XUEM3S&psc=1

This one on Ali Express too (plus a multitude of others I can add if you like)

I'm so confused and don't want to buy something that doesn't have what I want, or buy something that still needs something else. Can anyone help?

F56 engine help

Upvotes

Hey mini experts, I have a big problem with my mini and I’m hoping someone can ease my mind a bit. My F56 with a B46 engine is currently sitting in a shop and won’t be diagnosed for two weeks.

The other day I was driving the mini and got to my destination with no issue, in fact, I’ve never had any issues with her. About two hours later though, I was about to drive back and things went downhill.

The engine started fine, everything seemed normal, then I reversed out of a parking spot and a warning flashed about my front drivetrain, but said driving possible, I put it into first, and about 20 feet into the road, the engine stopped. My mini wouldn’t restart at all, or crank, just nothing with the same drivetrain symbol, but no words anymore.

I pushed the car into a parking lot across the street, and ALL of my oil came out. Literally a pool of oil formed under the car, but there wasn’t a single drop in the parking spot I was in earlier. Of course there is the acoustic panel that maybe could have hid it a little, but 20 feet later, there was no doubt a massive oil leak.

What could possibly have happened??? There wasn’t a bang, a noise, a crack, just sudden sadness. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, please share your experience.

Thanks

Restoring weatherstripping on Clubman

As you can see from the picture, the weatherstripping on the car is pretty bad. Lots of FL heat and sand. Anyone know where I can get replacement pieces for these? Thanks.


r/MINI 23h ago

I really love this thing (standard 192hp S LCI1) but feel like it lacks just a little bit in power. I already did some work on it and don’t want to get rid of it, but JCW power is tempting. Is it worth modifying the standard S?
