Default V&r r53 jcw pics as requested

Guys and Gals

Well before the terrible weather kicked in i took a couple of snaps so hope you like
Pretty standard from when i bought but i think she quite well kitted
R53 JCW, 18 inch R95's, HK Sound system, JCW Racing Seats, Xenon lights and a few Chrome bits and pieces but nothing like what you guys have done.
I look forward to a little bit of tinkering!!

Very nice looking MINI - that looks like an unusual roof graphic?

Not sure to be honest Keano,
Been looking at the 15% pulley but tbh i was a tad worried about stressing the engine, being 5yrs old i dont want it blowing up on me cos i was a dick and put too much stress on it - having said all that loads of people have just said stop being a wuss it'll be fine!! lol

the interior i just wanna fettle a little, i love the AC Schnitzer handbrake and i would dearly love the alcatara mfsw but gotta get that one past the mrs who likes to keep things original.

open to ideas but money is the root of all evil and will only spend if there is clear benefit and worth rather than ott cost and minimal improvement

do i sound like a total loser now or what??
Rich

I would change other things before the pulley - would only gain you about 5bhp more over the JCW pulley (11%)...

manifold would be good and then a camshaft and tune...

as long as you keep giving it regular maintenance it should be fine even when tuned

oh and women are the root of all evil - my maths teacher proved it for me, will have to dig out the derivation...
