Hi all, my latest video walks you around my Mini R53 that I have owned for around 4 years. Some of the story was covered in the Performance Mini magazine article last year but I have also included lots of behind the scenes build photos for you to enjoy. Note this isn't a sponsored car or sponsored video, the suppliers and mechanics I use are close friends and offer great service/prices.
Shout outs in the video:

I love all the modifications that were done to this car to make it track ready! If this is just a street car I would have to say a lot of these modifications (brakes, cage, chassis bracing, etc) definitely made the car much heavier and slower overall…

@tweedbean Год назад

Thanks the car was built so it couldn’t handle anything I threw at it in terms of use and plenty of parts were put on it purely for aesthetics too. I’m sure the cage for example wasn’t needed but I wanted one and that’s all that matters. 😁

Just came across your channel as im interested in getting an R53 to turn into a fast road weekend toy . But dont have thousands to spend I have looked at Lohen for ideas and prices . Thanks for putting Millsyautos on there as Im living in Birmingham and it is closer than Lohen . Look forward to watching the other R53 videos you have in lockdown .

@tweedbean 4 года назад

Hi Michael, its certainly will work out cheaper to buy your parts from Orranje Performance and get Millsys Autos to fit them. I would fully recommend these two companies, I have never used Lohen so I cant comment other than I know Orranje do some great prices on parts. You should also look at used parts on Facebook marketplace or Mini specific selling pages, theres plenty of them. Good luck with your project

Michael Baker the stock clutch can take a decent amount of power so unless yours is on its way out I wouldn’t worry about upgrading it just yet. As for an LSD, it’s a great mod to do, benefit is all around how hard you push your car on the road and if you are going to do any track use to understand cost/benefit ratio

@@tweedbean Many thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm still in the saving and planning stage at the moment, subtle engine mods as it's going to be a daily driver. Don't mind losing the AC as we're not renowned for continuous hot weather here in the UK, really impressed with the look of the front mount as well as its practical use.

@tweedbean 4 года назад

As a daily driver I would say that the front mount may not be worth it with the amount you have to cut away etc you would be better of with an upgraded top mount and maybe a bigger bonnet scoop to get more air to it

@TheRealTopGunZ 2 года назад

I understand you must have dyno'ed it, but that frontmount I/C bugs me a bit, I mean you have introduced six angles plus like half a meter of distance to the air circuit, with what this means in terms of pressure decrease, plus you have cut the air to the engine refrigerator, by blocking it with the I/C. But, you know, if it works it works! Very impressive overall.

Genuine thoughts on the front mount intercooler?

@tweedbean Год назад

So in terms of benefit you main lose some power due to length of pipework but you keep what you have for longer. However if I did this again I would speak to GRS to see what they were offering as they already had a good front mount setup and were looking at a new version that did away with the lengthy pipe work. It also sounds epic as you get much more super charger whine

It all depends on your budget. Although R53's are thought to be more reliable, they are also a lot older so parts are starting to fail on them from age. Both cars are great, R53 is better out the box but has older tech so is not a nicer place to sit in as the R56. Exterior looks are subjective, I prefer a JCW R56 look to an R53 JCW but thats personal opinion. For either ensure you get good service history and low miles to give you a healthy starting point in either.

@@tweedbean Do you think that by keeping up with the maintenance of an r56 I will be able to have less headaches and enjoy it as much as a more reliable car?
