Well look who is back so soon haha!! This time, I have finally edited up the recording of fitting my Zero Point One shifter!

I am back guys!! I am so sorry for the massive delay between videos!!

Firstly I want to apologise for the lack of videos, we have a few recorded so these will be coming up over the next few weeks. Thanks for being patient with us :) So we decided it was high time we finally got around to fitting the pulley belt plugs and Airtec Intercooler that we have had on the shelf for the car for nearly a year!

Will there be a part 3?? Sad to see that it wasn't there or here.
the refit of the bumper would have been nice. Was it just slightly pushing against the intercooler? Thanks for the content!!
I've just purchased a R50 with a bent tie rod end..... your video was super helpful and I changed it with ease 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey I noticed that when reinstalling your new spark plugs you switched up the 3rd and 4th cable. Did this cause any issues? or is this something you notice right away as you start the car, just curious. Otherwise great video! hope your mini is still doing well.
How annoying is that music :(
I’m thinking about doing these on mine as I think one of my arms is bent, I’m not going to lower my car so I don’t know if these are worth doing? As opposed to the standard ones, which are already adjustable to some degree angway
haynes manuals aint just for men you know
terrible video unless you're trying to prove someone with no knowledge of what they're doing can install the part
Will that same kit fit in a 2016 R60 S, ALL4?
Unfortunately not... the scuttle panel is in the way on the R60's unless you are happy to cut away some of it, then i think it could be made to fit BUT we haven't tried this... Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage can you recommend a similar design for the 2016 R60 S ALL4? I'm having a hard time finding one with the box around the filter.
I'd like to see an R60s/N18 engine
hello, I got this kit for my cooper S N18 2011......not installed yet.....in S mode there are nice pop bangs, which my wife and I love.......any idea if the pop bangs stop if AEM intake installed? I actually called AEM in USA and they were not sure.
They shouldn't stop but at the same time don't expect them to get louder or more often, it wont really make to much difference in that sense. Thank you so much for watching! Miriam xx
What about the hood scoop attachment?
Beautiful car! And even more beautiful lady! 😊 Ill be attempting this upgrade to my 05 R53 JCW in the coming weeks ahead. Thanks! Do you know, by chance, do i need even colder plugs than my JCW has in it now? Did you get a 17% reduction pulley? And lastly, does the car need a tune after doing that 17% pulley? My JCW has an 11% smaller size i believe.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) And also the compliment :) the plugs that come with the JCW are perfect for the upgrade so no need to change them unless they are worn :) Hope this helps, Miriam xx
@ModAMiniGarage thanks for the reply! I appreciate your help. Have yourself a wonderful day!
I broke the tube and the red clip . how do I get another. I can find the clip but not the tube. thanks
Would be worth having a look on eBay we don't have any at the moment... alternatively we do sell the aftermarket TPE one here if you are looking for an upgrade :) www.modamini.co.uk/product-page/tpe-precision-r53-charge-pipe-kit Hope this helps, Thanks so much for watching, Miriam xx
Many thx very helpful, used some silicon grease
Its been 4 months….should we all avoid the cams?
As it stands yes... we have had to remove them as they are to aggressive... we are trying to get Newman to modify them now and see how it goes from there :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Good video, but the music is very bad, greetings from holland
Thank you for the feedback :) we will try and limit the music for the future :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
The intro ☠️
Heater Matrix LOL
Any updates on how well this has worked out after running it for half a year?
We've had pcv issues with it at the moment... currently reworking the design but not having much luck with the company that makes them... thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage unfortunate, ive seen that comment a few places on that brand. i did just order one from a diff company tho so maybe it's not gonna be the same with a different sticker on it 💀
Let's hear some turbo sounds!
She has a 6 speed now 👌🚗
Time for more powaaaaaa!!! That's awesome. I'm so glad to know she's living on :) Thanks so much for watching! If you are ever in Essex, pop in!! Miriam xx
Where can I get this rocker cover please
You can find it on Amazon, but we have had issues with ours so have currently gone back to standard for the forseeable :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
You're not the only one that hates those spring clips that are used on water pipes. I hate them too! I get the point, they are spring loaded so only apply the required amount of pressure (jubilee clips can be over/under tightened) but they are so so much easier!
THEYRE A NIGHTMARE!!! Need to re record all this now as to many copyright claims hahaha. Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
I've just bought an electric blue r53 but I love the black and chrome. My 1st car was a black and chrome leyland mini do I've kinda gone full circle. Anyway had my car for 3 weeks and timing chain went. £900 later and it's up and running nicely. It's in amazing condition for its age. Never known a car to have so many mixed feelings for but it's a joy to drive. I wish there were more mini guys like you based in South devon
Hi Dan, Great to hear you have a mini but sorry to hear about your chain! Glad you have managed to sort it though! Hopefully we can meet at a show one day! Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
3rd video?
Need to edit it! Just sooo busy with everything that RUclips falls by the way side. Will try and get it up asap :) Thanks so much for watching so far! Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage I'm curious about the 3rd video also. I've got an 09 Clubman getting some Carillo pisons and rods & I'm debating upgrading the cams while its apart!
@@ModAMiniGarage 👁<👁
Great video! That engine looks as grot as mine. I am about to order one of these kits from yourself. I have the gearbox off for doing the clutch, given it's a couple of hoses & electrical connectors and the A/C pump then the engine can be yoinked out I am seriously tempted to do this. Also need to do the CV boots like yours! Don't think my rocker cover has ever been off as the bolts have disintegrated on the front so that will be fun!
Sounds like you are having just as much fun as we did! For anything you buy off our website make sure you use code 5offonus for a small discount :) Thank you so much for watching! Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage Thank you, very much appreciated :) Yeah am having fun, so much fun I want to crack on with another already :D and I've not finished this one yet
Hi, great video. I might have missed it but did you drain the coolant first before changing the oil cooler gasket/orings?
To change the O-ring's you don't :) as long as you don't remove the coolant lines you don't have to drain it :) might lose a bit of oil for you :) Thanks so much for watching and apologies for the late reply. Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage Great thank you:)
2:31 ..... my heart .. my soul ....
Hahahaha OMG yea you are so right! Just to be clear... we wouldn't do that to a customers car!! Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Oil Leaks? ...I park it right next to my Harley...its hardly noticed.
Hahahaha we have a customer with a Ford F250 Harley Davidson Edition it so lovely! Don't have a clue about bike but minis leak like sieves! Mostly :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Hi do you change valve stem seals by any chance, thanks
We can do valve stem seals with no problems at all :) we can also do them without removing the head :) So, makes the job a little cheaper to :) Feel free to get in touch, with me, contact@torquemonkey.co.uk Miriam xx
Any news on these yet I'm desperately in need of a blue one thanks x
No news, we are having issues with the PCV system at the moment so wont be bringing them to market for a little while unfortunately. I will do an update video at some point for this! Thanks so much for watching, Miriam xx
Just get on with it Too much talking and laughing I definitely won’t watch you again
Good job there's loads of other videos on RUclips then 🤣 we personally do this all in our own time and at our own expense so actually want to enjoy ourselves too! Thanks for watching this one though and all the best - Miriam xx
I say on the manifold cover, if the company can't send you one undamaged; then they don't need their name on the cover. Sand it back to metal and put your own color on it. Then you have a nicer looking piece w/o some company's name ruining the engine bay.
That might be the way we end up going. we will just have to see how it goes. We thought we had an issue with it, but I think it's something else as we fitted a new cover and wad still the same after, so that good :) thanks for watching! Miriam xx
Any idea when this is going on sale please
Not for a while o don't think as possible pcv issues we are looking into... Will do an update video shortly :) Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage 🤞 it will get sorted thanks for the update and keep the videos coming 👍
Where’s the best tuner in the states for a mini
Speak to the guys at Detroit Tuned, and they will be able to help :) Great bunch of guys, we use them a fair bit for parts :) www.detroittuned.com Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
What kind of dog he’s Awsome
He's called a Basenji, they are an African Hunting Hound and are Bark less (although they do make annoying noises hahaha, by no means silent!) If you ever pop into the Garage you can meet our little Cooper and also our second one called Morgan :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Any updates on whether it leaked or was worth it?
There are no leaks or issues yet, BUT I'm waiting on the results of the flow test and improved paint job :) Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Thankyou, do you have any prediction on when they could be available? @@ModAMiniGarage
Love it want one for my mini
Hopefully, I will have a new batch ready soon :) Thanks for watching! Miriam xx
@@ModAMiniGarage can u let me know when u get more in thanks 😊
Thank you. This helped me understand the best sequence for replacing the oil cooler gasket.
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx
Are these available for purchase now? If so where from!
Not yet. We are still working on them and having the design tweeked, hopefully not too much longer! Thanks so much for watching, Miriam xx
would love to know where i can buy these cams from.
Thanks so for commenting :) Once we have finished testing them, they will be available from our online shop :) thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx

Thanks so much! I'll send out some tipex if you ever order so you can join the fun :) Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Miriam xx
Great Video. Loving the R56 Content. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks so much! There's more to come as we have a lot recorded. I just need to get it all edited :) Thanks so much for watching, Miriam xx
Can valve springs stay stock? What Newman is recommend?
We have used the stock springs :) We have not changed anything at all from standard. We have just fitted the cams and had them mapped in :) Hope this helps, Miriam xx
Have to say that shouting time update is just so annoying! Please buy a tripod and then that person wont be needed and they can go and shout at some pigeons or something
Well.... that person is Jon - the person that started Mod A Mini, sorts almost all of the Mod A Mini orders and virtually all of the messages and emails that come into the business so he is definitely not going anywhere! :-) I agree the time update thing is a tad annoying but he is doing it to speed me along or to get me off my phone while we record! I will try and make sure that I don't give him reason to need to hurry me along :-) thank you for watching though! Hopefully the next video will be better, Mim xx
