@@christophergarcia3069 it’s like back in the early 90’s all cars came with black plastic or black metal and if you wanted the chrome you needed to pay more and if you didn’t want the base paint you needed to pay more to get painted matched handles and so forth.
No issues yet and I have had them like that for about a year now. I cut them in half so the back half is there all the way up to just above the wheel. Engine bay also dose not get as dirty as you might think.
@@ruudvanleeuwen7320 funny enough I'm actually buying back the Cooper s. I making a video on it. A shop has it for sale right now. The guy I sold it to crashed it. I went to look at it in person and damage isn't to bad. I'll be making a video on everything about it. Including driving to pick it up and a walk around on the current condition of the car. I'll be restoring it and doing a full color change. I regretted selling the car almost instantly but destiny has brought it back to me. Lol.
it depends on the state you live in here in the US. In my state any car over 15 years old no longer need emissions testing. but in other states it would be illegal to register it and get it on the road.
The R53 models (so up to 2006) all came with supercharged 1.6L 4cyls. The models you'll want to look at are the Cooper S/JCW/GP. Aftee 2006 they swapped to a 2 liter turbo model which puts out more power but is in my honest opinion incredibly boring to drive due to the engine and also how they kept getting bigger and bigger making them essentially just reskinned 1 series. Pre-2006 have an awesome supercharger whine and the driving position makes you feel like you're in a go kart. Had mine since I was 16 (5 years now) and loved every bit of it.
@@kye9034 The Civics are great and I understand the transition. For the best experience try to get a 2006 model JCW or GP. While the Cooper S is amazing (and I love mine to bits) the other two models are just that but better in every way.
A GP model will be harder to come by and alot more expensive. Only 2000 ever made. A R53 Cooper S is plenty good enough. Just try and get a 2005-2006 model year as they came with significant upgrades and some equipped with a factory LSD such as mine in the video. A few very simple bolt on mods on a base Cooper S will be faster then both the JCW and GP models. Although if you can find a Cooper S with the JCW tuning kit definitely grab it. They come with a machined cylinder head and bigger injectors, which to me is the best reason to own one as most of the other updates such as the smaller pulley can be outperformed with after market mods with out breaking the bank.
@@trashgodzgarage3281 i recently purchased a limited edition mc40 do you know if these come with any upgrades? Its an 04' 120k miles. I do plan to do a 16% pulley, dampener and other cleaner up around the area.
I cut the fender liner. If you look just above the wheel you could still see the fender liner. I cut the front half off and did it at an angle so the strut tower lines up with the fender for a cleaner look.

I just picked up an 06 Cooper S checkmate. 79k miles, new clutch, water pump, thermostat, oil filter housing. $5500!
How do you like it ? I’m going to lol at one today . 06 cooper S with 83k miles . Any pros and cons?
@@hitman__3926 Love it. It’s a hoot! I did a resonator delete and it’s hilarious.
Neighbor of mine has one for sale for 3k , all it needs is new brakes and AC recharge. It very clean and supercharger sounds great!
love this build! i have the same 2006 cooper s and love to see another person with the true supercharged version
I'm here the r53 build! looking great already.

Damn dude, you’re not messing around! 💪
Thanks. Plenty more to come!
@@trashgodzgarage3281 Nice. Subscribed
Like how the front wheels are exposed. Did you have to saw the front fenders off? Does it make tire dirt get into the engine bay?
Nice build brother🙌🙌. Proper driving also.
Thanks ✌
Looking good! Check out the stubby antenna to replace the RC car lookin one.
Make some new vids of this r53!!

Aawesome I want to get the R56 brakes and injectors soon.
@@trashgodzgarage3281 yeah man. i think im just gonna go with some bosch 380 injectors. the jcw ones are way to expensive.
What do you think you got into it with all those upgrades money wise
What are the wheel/tire/suspension specs? Love the fitment.
Nice build, the intake must really loud without the firewall. Is a bigger i/c necessary with smallper pulley? Or just for performance gains?
Nice and clean…it’s on point!…
Give you props for not putting on black wheels like the 95 % of Mini Cooper owners
Right? Black wheels be everywhere these days!
@@oliver5403 over played and everyone likes the cars to look cheap with everything black
Honestly it’s sad

Mine are baby blue
Very nice as well !!!!
What a jewel 🔝🔝
love it keep it up!
Did the header through or exhaust throw a code?
Clean
I love my r53!!!
Nice man
Any issues in your engine bay having no wheel guard? Like any issues with dirt or debris flying into the engine?
No issues yet and I have had them like that for about a year now. I cut them in half so the back half is there all the way up to just above the wheel. Engine bay also dose not get as dirty as you might think.
Beauty eh!
Awesome car! I have a 2003 lots of the same mods. I got the Alta Intake. It was almost impossible to get the new hose from the intake on. 😂
Do you have a tuner? Need one ASAP
Love it Got me one too
❤
👍👍
Any advice on where to find a decent MK2 or MK3 for decent price??
Any updates on the r53?
i sold it about a month ago. Just got a new project to play with that i will be uploading soon.
@@trashgodzgarage3281 How about your new project ????

@@trashgodzgarage3281 How coincidental. I look forward to your adventure with interest. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Did u cut your fenders to fit in the flares ?
my flares are OEM. I did trim the inner part of the flars though. I did not cut any metal at all.
Is the Alta CAI 50 state legal?
The Mr flash engine car ⚠️
Is it legal to remove the CAT where you are? In the UK it would fail its MOT for that and thus be illegal to drive on public roads.
it depends on the state you live in here in the US. In my state any car over 15 years old no longer need emissions testing. but in other states it would be illegal to register it and get it on the road.
Got a question looking at these minis what version is supercharged and what is turbo charged?

Can you please provide wheel set up please...
You really should get the dent on the left rear wing fixed, it looks awful when it catches the light.
Ill be respraying the whole car this winter. I do auto body for a living. Just enjoying what little nice weather we have left. lol
What colour is it? It looks almost black, but then it looks very dark blue.....?
Astro Black. Its an OEM color. Its black with blue flakes.
I have a 2006 s put on liberty walk lp performance decal

Bro wheels and tires specs please

Are the wheels exposed when u open the hood that from the factory or u removed any trim of them??
I cut the fender liner. If you look just above the wheel you could still see the fender liner. I cut the front half off and did it at an angle so the strut tower lines up with the fender for a cleaner look.
