I am so glad I found this channel. I bought one of these in a heat of passion for wanting a fun driver car with good MPG. Also knowing it could be a maintenance headache. So far I am feeling a bit better about it and your car and channel are helping. Thing is an absolute blast.
That’s one nice looking whip. I had a r56 yrs back turning into a built up show car. Now I just bought my 16yr old daughter the all4 countryman. With that I got the big to build another mini for my personal car enjoyment 👍🏼
I put a bigger turbo, inter cooler coil overs and got a small taste of a little increase in hp , AND I WANT MOOOORE SO, I’m researching putting a 2.0 ltr JCW engine in my 08 mini s r56. Will it fit? Are the mount ing points the same ? Where can I find one used to rebuild it ? I REALLY WANT MORE HP!!!!!!!! Cuz I’m facing reality when my engine hits the crapper 🚽!! Please point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help
Hey man, awesome video. I bought my 2012 Mini Cooper countryman all4 s about 7 months ago and my timing chain broke after about 4 months of use. I haven't used it since, and it's been sitting at a mechanic shop waiting to get fixed. about a week ago, I got the call that my car is fixed and ready to pick up. Now I was wondering if I should keep the car or sell it. The car has about 110,000 miles on it. If I do decide to keep it, what are some tips and tricks of keeping minis free of any issues and problems? Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you!
Hey man! As long as your car is running and there are no issues your car should be good to keep but if you we’re driving and time chain broke then you probably skipped timing and there could be underlying issues down the road. Hard to tell you to sell it or keep it. The awd is nice to have. On the side note timing chain being done is a main thing to have done every 100,000 km i believe Just do regular oil changes and you should be good to be honest. You got the newer n18 motor meanings it’s a better built motor with less known issues then my n14 motor.
@@UFOBITS Thank you so much for the reply! You honestly gave me hope on keeping the mini😂. I really love watching your vids and hope one day I could do the same mods on my mini.
Would love to see a video of your ripping this little beast! My 2013 Dooper is coming up to 230k an I love it even if it rattles tf 😂 Keep up the good vids bro
This is awesome. Currently building out my R56 and would love to see more MCS videos from you. Please please give me some insight into your engine build process and the cost if the engine build (I know the answer is too much, but some insight would really help)
lol hey man. after all the bolt on upgrades and the motor being rebuilt with upgraded parts and tuned i was around $12,000. but that completely tearing everything out and replacing everything im still running stock transmission with i believe a brand new stock clutch and it has no issues
i suppose but no point in replacing the turbo if its still pushing good boost. car makes actual 320hp and 350tq to my surprise. the whilry boi will come
@@UFOBITS you literally can't hit it with stage 2 tune even of you put a bigger turbo on ypu wouldn't hit those numbers there's a reason there are stages LOL
Hello, got a problem with my R56S with N14 engine that the DME is constantly spliting 2DC0 error code...... Is there any possible cause of that or any way to troubleshoot?
My suggestion is take the car to a shop and ask them to do a leak down test on the cylinders and see if you have a timeing chain rattle. Could be the timing chain/ guide is lose and it could skip timing which would be a bomb to the engine. You are going to be limited to power. So drive it slow to the shop. Unfortunately I’m not a mechanic and to be honest I’ve never seen that code before but doing a quick google search that is what I have came across. I hope this helps. Unfortunately you’ll probably be in at least $1000 possibly. Keep me up to date with what is going on. I’m very interested
Had My R53 for a few months now and I been looking for videos to help me mod it or get Inspiration (originally a E46 head so new to the mini game) but found this build/channel and it’s the same color as mine😂‼️
I had to take the passenger weight sensor pad out of the oem seat and put it into the cushion of the nrg seat and hook it up. Driver side is just based off of the seat belt being connected. But I’ve always have had my airbag light still on so it don’t even matter lol. Apparently only way to get rid of that light is to go to the dealership
To be honest i have no idea. when i got my motor built they tuned it right after. all i know its from Europe and my shop had to connect them for info but i never got the name of the tune unfortunately
No I dont but if your painting the chrome on you car i would suggest a light sanding then put a etching primer on that is meant to adhere to chrome really good and then paint over that with the desire color you choose

I never subscribe, but this R56 content got me roped in - love this shit!
It has to be more space around front wheels, becouse it's where you put snow chains. it's weird having to explain this to a Canadian :P
badass build
Great job

Spring is finally here so I’ll be posting all kinds of videos of the mini ripping 🙂.
So much content coming soon
Dope ass car my Man! Glad i found your channel. Do you make an aero kit for the countryman?

Hi Zeus 🙋🏼♂️
I love your mini! I wish i can get my r56 up to your spec
Thank you so much I appreciate you! If you have any questions or need help/ideas I’m always here to help
so damn clean
Thank you Toni! ✌🏽
I love yo mini man
Thank you brother!!
Building a motor, without adding a bigger whirly boy for a stage 3 tune, and being happy with 240 hp is absolutely wild to me.
i suppose but no point in replacing the turbo if its still pushing good boost. car makes actual 320hp and 350tq to my surprise. the whilry boi will come
@@UFOBITS there's no way you're hitting 320 hp on a stock turbo with just a stage 2 tune. You gotta post that paperwork 😂🤣
Unless my information from the ecu is lying to me. I don’t know 🤷🏼
@@UFOBITS you literally can't hit it with stage 2 tune even of you put a bigger turbo on ypu wouldn't hit those numbers there's a reason there are stages LOL
Does your hood scoop bolt on with the one 20t screw? I want as much airflow as possible, but the screw goes into the intake plate.
i belive its 3 t 20 screws but the fitment wasnt 100% cause its after market
Loving it man!! ❤

great videos as always. notice your
big hood scoop. where you get yours. thanks
Hey. I just got the carbon fiber hood scoop off ebay for i believe $120 or something like that.
thank you for the support!!
@@UFOBITS your welcome.
amazon downpipe catless any good?
and which oil are you using. thats are good here in canada. thanks in advance.
@@CharlieFabito-d1p i like the downpipe. never had an issue with it. as for oil i use 5w40 usually motul
@@UFOBITS goodmorning. thank you so much. have a great day
That shit is sick brother 🔥🔥🔥
Hey man where can I get those splitters and rear diffuser
Where did you get that hood scoop? It looks awesome!
Love the video, love the car. Was any cutting required to get the double din stereo in? I have just brought a JCW R56
Thanks Jonnyy I appreciate you! No cutting involved. You will need to buy the double din radio conversion kit.
@@UFOBITS Thanks appreciate it mate keep up the great content👍
How do you get the airbag light, passenger weight sensor, and seatbelt sensor to go out?
I had to take the passenger weight sensor pad out of the oem seat and put it into the cushion of the nrg seat and hook it up. Driver side is just based off of the seat belt being connected. But I’ve always have had my airbag light still on so it don’t even matter lol. Apparently only way to get rid of that light is to go to the dealership
Can you make an arrow kit for a 2009 clubman jcw? I have those blacked out side markers and they look great 👍🏿
hey man. Yes I can make them for a clubby also
@@UFOBITS what’s your instagram? So I can see your product more better
Where can I message you about buying one of these
Nice , What yr is this one?
2007 Brian. first model year the r56 came out so it has the N14 motor
Who’s ur stage 2 tuner?
To be honest i have no idea. when i got my motor built they tuned it right after. all i know its from Europe and my shop had to connect them for info but i never got the name of the tune unfortunately
Dude I ran jnc005s on my s4 cause of your exact reasons. No sense in smoking a 2k BBs on a daily when I can smoke a 250 dollar wheel..
lol right dude. i dont think i could spend that much on wheels
you have a video about the scuttle paintig?
No I dont but if your painting the chrome on you car i would suggest a light sanding then put a etching primer on that is meant to adhere to chrome really good and then paint over that with the desire color you choose
@@UFOBITS That was very helpful thank you.
Did you then mask off the S logo?
@@Kolya3112 yeah I did. I put painters tap inside the S and then cut with a sharp blade and painted.
How much for the aero kit
$1100 Canadian for the full kit plus what ever shipping is which wont be much
I still dont understand the point of noise maker deletes. Like why would i want less noise in the cabin? I want to hear that shit all the time
can ur aero kit fit a 2006 mini cooper s
I don't see why it wouldn't. maybe the side skirts would need to be a bit smaller if anything but i think it should be a good fit
@@UFOBITS how much is the kit
@@jeremiahbuttler7293 $1100 Canadian plus shipping for the full kit
@@UFOBITS do u sell single parts of the kit like the front splitter
@@jeremiahbuttler7293 hey Jeremiah! yes everything can be bought separate or together
Nawt
No lie i order3d the esm's and fitment sent me jncs b3cause they didn’t have what I wanted
@@kreevey33 they actually discontinued the esm 015 rim about 3 years ago. im not sure how many esm rims are kicking around any more
Can the R60 get some Aero love? I need a new look for the summer
@@kreevey33 I dont see why not. i think it should be the exact same for sizing
Hey man, I sent you an email in regards to the kit. 2012 mini cooper S
Yo dude would you be able to give us an estimate of the whole cost?
$1100 Canadian my dude for the full kit with all mounting hardware
Why havent you shared a video driving it or at least reving it start it up bud
lol to be honest ive been thinking about selling the car and haven't drove the car much since i got new tires on it.
what`s your email?
