Lauren Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 While two minis of course LOL. Picked up this really clean 03S six speed manual fully loaded for $500 today delivered. No compression. Since I just rebukt the yellow one I ain't scared. In fact I have a brand new HG and studs in the garage. And a SeT of pistons and rods http://photos.app.goo.gl/NtvLASSQyOBnkHEN2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/NtvLASSQyOBnkHEN2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Can't hate on a $500 Cooper-S. Good luck getting her running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The red one is stupid clean. No rust. Minor bolster wear on driver seat. Otherwise interior looks brand new. This should be a quick flip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Welp I need to eat my words. Found a hole in the block under the supercharger. Need to find a long block now https://photos.app.goo.gl/1hGqp4kercTHOhPq2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted July 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Yellow mini sold. Buyer picking it up tomorrow. Driving in from Lexington. Scored a S shortblock for $100 for the red car. Going to re ring it and new rod bearings. Also ordered smaller supercharger pulley new crank pulley, clutch and flywheel and all Apr bolts to reassemble. I might actually keep the red car because its so clean and I need a daily that's gets better gas mileage then 14 mpg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a small "reliable" car for my niece. They live in FL, not sure I want to drive the mini down there. What happened to the Cayenne TT?

They live in FL, not sure I want to drive the mini down there. What happened to the Cayenne TT? As much as I want a Cayenne TT I just couldn't give up my 535xi wagon. So I ordered silicone inlets, bigger front mount and downpipes for it. Should put me in the high 400's if not low 500's and at that point the BMW is same horse power as cayenne and it will get its fun factor back. The trade off from wagon to cayenne wasn't great. I'm still going to get a cayenne but I'm going to get an S for 5-8k pay in cash and have it for winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Was really hard to see the yellow mini drive away last night. Chick bought it. Paid full all without even trying to talk me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Mini number three is coming home this weekend. This will be a keeper. It will be my new daily. 08 pepper white clubman S with rare black lounge leather and a 6 speed manual. I can justify keeping the clubby since my two girls can fit in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 At least you are handy. The N14 is a scary one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
