Modified R56 John Cooper Works MINI - One Take 

I made coffee out of the nutpowder and smeared it over my sunglasses, now they have a matte finish and I found out the nutpowder works just like Dillan optics NIR technology, reflecting the UV beams from the sunlight. So thank you now I don't need new sunglasses. But now I need some smokingtire tshirts because I ran out of toilet paper and they keep my ass dry.

Those seats are sick. I'm also sick after learning that you go through a lot of nut powder

Not bad for a 65,000 year old car!

Going to cut a lot of haters off at the pass about reliability. Yes, the R56 was unreliable for a few years. If you're looking for an R56 Mini you need to know what years to buy. For the Cooper S you want at least a 2011, but more a 2012 or a 2013. These have the "newer motor" mentioned in the video, the N18. The N18 had 2 versions. The 2011 and any 2012s up to a 03/2012 build date have the first version with a Continental High Pressure Fuel Pump that is unreliable. The second version after 03/2012 build dates have a Bosch HPFP that is much more reliable, however they don't move as much fuel and are harder to tune for power. The caveat to this is the JCW. The JCW did not get the N18 until 2013 model years. This is because they had difficulty moving enough fuel with the Bosch HPFP to support the bigger turbo. Before 2013 on the JCW and before 2010 on the S, the N14 motor (shown in the video and mentioned as the "older motor") has a lot of issues with thermostats, water pumps, HPFP, and timing chain tensioners. If you are looking to buy an R56, avoid the N14 like the plague.

A drawer of forks... best description of the interior of a higher mileage Mini I've every heard. Bravo Matt!

Love the fast MINIs. One of the best handling FWD cars of all time. Loved my R53, went like stink and screamed like a demon. With a 17% reduction pulley it was perfect for DD and some trackuse. Was rock solid too, no issues. These are a bargain these days for a track car project.

YEEEEEEAAAAHH A MINI! 🤘🤘🤘 The last Mini video was like 3 years old so as an owner myself I've been looking forward to this.

Finally someone representing the minis. I would totally bring my R53 on but I live in Michigan sadly:(

Showing the wife a car video, Matt talk about nuts..😂 Best channel

The works Mini's have always seemed pretty cool to me. Looked like it was fun to drive as well.

Matt, made me cracked up every time you said "nuts"!!! Awesome!!! Love your show brother!

Best episode ever. Matt, please add a nut care section before each video so we can stay current with nad-care trends. My balls truly thank you, from the bottom of my sack.

This episode starts off nuts!! :D

Watched this right after the N600 build, such a different style of build, so much respect for both owners, why I love cars, couldn't get a more different mindset for a build but are both lovely.

I freaking miss my R56. This is one I want to own again.

My 05 Cooper S just rolled over to 140,000 miles still going strong

the product placement bit....Very Well Done....I think I am going to get some!!!

Dude your ad is now legendary!

That endorsement was Nuts.

Great info. Much appreciated. Owner of a 2011 R56 and staying faithful.

That's an awesome looking Mini! Had an '06 with an intake, pulley and exhaust similar to how Matt describes his R53. Happens to still be my photo, but just got a 2015 F56 Cooper S! Most fun in a car you can have! And hello to a fellow Ethan Mini owner!

I love this owner. He really seems to know whats up and hes really good on camera

Jesus that is a great add. You're a genius Matt.

OH MYLORD!!! Matt thank you sooo much! the nut advert was the best thing that happened on youtube for a while! I'm loving your style man! since the big bigger biggest on DC back in the day I'm a fan of your wit and nice voice (no bromo)

This was a great episode, really good energy. Sweet car too.

*TAKE CARE OF YOUR NUTS PEOPLE!* 😂

Honestly, you make some pretty good commercials. It's really ballin'.

OMG! This with a light purple instead of the green. I love the color scheme.

Best product ad I've seen!

I actually sat through the whole add lmao very informative

That intro was amazing lol!

Easily the best ad ever precedes this video

Woo finally! I seen a brief glimpse of this in the parking lot when he took that sketchy Camaro out, been waiting and waiting on this one as I have a R56 chassis as well. Might make my mirror caps a funky color now...

Really like those acid green calipers, reminds me of the 918. Not typically a fan of mini but I like this one... except those mirrors.

This was a great One Take. It seemed like you guys had great chemistry or smoked a joint beforehand

That intro was nuts!

Looking like you had a nice morning chief before this shoot hahaha. Very cool as always

Dat plug ;) Great car and well thought mods

The ohlins joke at the end was pretty funny lol

i get my girl to take care of that ;),i laughed this morning thanks Matt! nuts products on a mini video lolll very good marketing

147k on my 08 R55 N14. I am aware of the issues of these engines but mine has served me very sweet and well over these years. Had a prior 02 r53 as well and loved it to but the turbo is great. Just gotta keep up on maintenance and listen to that engine to be aware of the timing chain. If you use the updated tensioner with the new chain guides it will be nice to you. Also gotta watch that vacuum pump don't run dry from low engine oil cause it will snap a cam shaft.

Holy shit Matt, you're looking great. Keep up the good work brother.

love the color combo

nice car. Love the sound!

That promo in itself is worth s thumbs up. Im going full famboy here

Best ad ever Matt, you should combine it with the Comfyballs pants.

Who's the better salesman Matt Farrah or AlphaM ?

I like it! Looks fun!

best ad spot ever

lmao at the ad and that Cruze going at it in the canyons.

Sounds soooo good!!!

One of the few times I've enjoyed an advertisement xD Hahaha

The beginning was epic

Thank you my friend, I like racing my 138hp I4 with super dry balls. It makes everything more pleasant. In fact I can't lose against any opponent!

I would love to see the outtakes :D please Matt

The commercial is epic, almost snl worth

What did he say about the Exhaust, I can't hear it clearly enough but something about a Invidia Q300?

These cars are a lot of fun but can be a bit pricey to maintain. I have an R52 with a 5 speed and I still have a blast driving it to work every day. It's also been a pretty reliable car for me and I'm almost at 100,000 miles.

Is that exterior paint color the White Silver from the factory?

When are the sailboat one takes coming?

I still need to buy some that coffee!!

I really like your ads honestly.

That intro was nuts

the beginning of this video is nuts

THIS IS ETHAN

best youtube ad ever

That ad was nuts

Will that extreme cream stand up to the rigors of my mangina?

I do want to correct one thing. The JCW Minis of that generation do have an Electronic LSD. That was one of the main differences between the S and the JCW.

This video is nuts

This seriously makes me miss my R56 MCS :(

Best intro ever

imagine sharing this videos with your friends and they have to watch a ball powder ad, they'd be judging

The Smoking Angeles...everything ;). Some new locations would be fitting.

Which road was this filmed on? I remember I used to see a lot on Mulholland Highway, but this one is new... Angeles Crest?

Matt does it work on ass cracks too ? seriously

Best. Intro. Ever. lol

The sunglasses was a better ad. At least we can see u wearing them. Lol

need more mini!

a commercial like this over shadows the video how could it not. Hoping to see the 3 alfas back to back to back but this is nice

XD that ad was hilarious, for some reason though I want to try it 0.0

Matt, what's the current lead time for submitting a car for a one take? I'm thinking of making a trip to LA in the fall (I'm in AZ) and thought it would be great to try and have you drive my car while I'm out there. How soon should I put my name on the list? Thanks!

BEST AD EVER! I'm not even mad lol

finally got a mini on the channel again,

Matt when are you coming back to CT I have got a leased mini with about 300bhp that I want you to drive!

Fuck yeah! chassis! preach it brother! I even watched the Mini ad that followed

i love that Mini😍😍😄

Homie in that Cruze was moving lol.

that video is nutty!!!!

Hm, nice to see a new product for my tires. Thanks a lot Smoking Nuts! \m/

Yes please, love mine.

That intro wins the award for most random intro topic ever

Small is fun. I think it gives you driving thrills at road speeds you can't get in super high end sports cars. Its the miata phenomena.

Someone over in the US, please give Matt your R53 Cooper S to review!!

just the advertisement made me like this video, all about the mini too

Does that stuff work on metric nuts too? or only on imperial nuts?

I didn't know Minis could sound so good 😍 Are these cars reliable? Everything I've heard says no and from Matt Maran's experience I would say no but they have something about them I love

Never thought I'd see the day where Matt would be taking about a product for my nuts lol.

Sees Mini, clicks like!
