Vehicle description

Superb clean low mileage Mini Cooper S R53 loaded with performance upgrades. The Thumper Big Valve Head /Cam is just incredible! Great mid range, and the car screams from 5000 rpm all the way to the 7200 rpm red line! This is a very serious world class Mini. The higher you rev it the smoother it gets. The Vibra Technics motor mounts mean there is no drive line play and no hesitation. When the head work was done, every gasket was replaced while in there. No leaks! All maintenance has been done including the expensive supercharger service. Both oil and transmission fluids have been upgraded to Amsoil and Motul respectfully. The WaveTrac LSD insures all that power gets to the pavement. It"s easily one of the most noticeable upgrades when driving. The short shifter and Raceseng knob really make for a great pair.
I have the service records from 2012 to current as well as all receipts for the performance parts. It has been garaged from 2012 to current as well. You can see how clear the original 16 year old headlights are. All performance upgrades have been done in the last 8 months. Before that, the car was completely stock. With the current mods, numbers are typically 245hp and 200tq at the wheels. That"s a lot of fun when mated to a gokart like the R53! List of Upgrades Done in the Last 8 Months:
