It’s time to stop watching and start posting! R58 Cooper S Coupe Project

Hello 👋🏼

I’ve been using mini torque since I bought my first Mini, a Pepper White R58 Cooper S Coupe, last March and decided it’s probably time I actually joined in.

I’ve gathered quite a lot of knowledge over the last year or so, and have ended up doing far more to my coupe than I had planned...

I’ll include some of the list of modifications...

Manic Stage 1 Remap (from Lohen), last dyno'd @ 240bhp & 390nm with only the map and cat-back exhaust (lots done since...)
RSIC6 Wide Arches
JCW 4 pot brake upgrade & Hel braided lines
BC BR Coilovers & Adjustable Rear Control Arms
AEM Induction Kit
Airtec larger FMIC
200 Cel Sports Cat and custom non-res cat-back exhaust
Forge VTA BOV
Cobra Nogaro Fixed Bucket Seats with Schroth ASM Harness
Custom Suede Interior Trim, JCW Carbon Handbrake & Gear Knob, JCW Alcantara Steering Wheel
JR Wheels
Rear Spoiler and Custom ETS Racing Challenge Diffuser
The usual dechrome and bigger scoop, oem black line rear lights

To be fitted (and painted first..):

Heigo coupe roll cage
DuellAG front bumper
Oil Catch Can kit (PCV side only)

I've done all the work to the car myself, except for the remap (obviously) and have enjoyed every (ok most, except changing the cat, that heatshield is a pig) minute of it! It's definitely taught me a lot, and has sparked a serious (but expensive) passion for cars and tinkering.

Here's some pictures of 'Martin' (named after the very shortlived martini livery)..
