Max Power live

[smiffy]

Well yesterday myself & 2 mates went to one of the biggest 'rice boy' shows in the UK, Max Power live at the Birmingham NEC Lots of amazing cars cars & mods on display The Euro/US style seems to be very big over here with lots of Jap imports & cars running NOS Any way, there were a few MINI's amoung the usual Saxo's, Corsa's etc
Most of the MINI's were demo cars with ICE companies showing off, with there mad installs

I think the Silver/Black Cooper was MINI2 memeber Smooth Ass showing off his new bodykit & wheels, but I didnt like it at all

Russ Swift was at the Citroen cruise strip showing off his driving skills, but he was using Saxo VTR's & not his new Cooper S Strange this about his cooper S is that it is DS/Black but is riding on white 8 spokes

Anyway, I'll let the pictures of the MINI's do all the talking

Gave me ideas of my ICE install

The Superchips ONE was also on display

Thanks for the pics, Smiffy! I agree with you on that Jap style aero kit. In my opinion, it kills the MINI look and turns it into just another souped up sport compact. And how does he open the boot???

There were some nice stereo systems (especially the JBL mountings), but again, does anyone really want a stereo so loud that you can't hear the purr of your MINI engine? Again, it's a step toward becoming just another rice burner. At least they kept the MINI look for the most part.

All in all, I think the MINI is good to go as is. That's not to say I'll not be doing any mods... just that they are minor since I want to preserve the MINI look as much as possible. Just some white taillights, clear side repeaters, and some bigger tires (currently running 15's). Other than that and a turbocharger though, my MINI is staying just how she is now.

I think some people can go a little too far when they start modding a car This is my list of planned mods, just need some money now

17's
replace all standard speakers
disc changer
chrome design interior
filter
exhaust
window tints?
Superchip
racing pedals
leather interior?
clear lights
beesting aerial
big brakes
extra gauges
S fuel cap

So far I done this

UJ/Cheq MG badge
Chrome boot release handle
Chrome Grille
Lower mesh
shinny mirror covers
Cooper S interior door release handles
Clear side lights
Sony headunit
chrome number plate surrounds
www.MINI2.com sticker

Spoke to a guy on the K&N stand he said that the replacement filters are now available & the 57i Induction kit should be ready in the next 3-4 weeks He said it would be around the £70 margin He did say that they have had problems in develpoing the kits as they didnt want a 90 degree bend in the pipe

Every bugger seems to buying those S thingy's lately

[JonBlakeburn]

Come on guys, it may not be to your taste, but don't knock Smoothass. He's no doubt put a lot of effort in. Anyway, I personally don't mind it, and "each to their own" as they say.

I could'nt agree more as long as peoples opinions are not rude or nasty there should'nt be a problem really.


PS,Each to there own.

[monsta]

Agreed, I totally respect smoothass for heavily modding his brand new car, but at the same time think it could have been a better job... the front looks wrong IMO
