My new AC Shnitzer mini
SO, I finally got my hands on a mini cooper s :D
I picked up an R53 for $2,500 with only 30,000 miles on the clock. Quite the score if you ask me. I've noticed that it has: -AC Schnitzer Strut Brace ($300) -AC Schnitzer Valve Cover (??) -AC Schnitzer Wheels (??) -AC Schnitzer Clutch, Accelerator, and brake pedals (??) -AC Schnitzer Handbrake and shift-knob (??) -Brembo big front brake kit ($Alot.) After noticing all these fancy labels, I'm really hoping the previous owner put an AC Schnitzer Computer in the car. I am not really sure how to find out though, I have never done anything with performance chips. Why did I get this mini so cheap? Well let me start off by saying, I bought this car from a salvage yard, and I can only assume they did not know what they had. However, those Brembos are hard to miss... and I cannot find anything online saying that they ever came factory with Brembos. That being said, The car has horrible hail damage. There is a dent on every panel on the body, especially the hood. I need to replace the windshield, L headlight, and battery. I also had to replace the sunroof. In addition the speakers aren't hooked up(How horrible right?). Fortunately, I don't care about the dents because I find it to be beautiful anyway. I will likely be around these forums a lot. Thanks for reading! Dan |
Very nice, we carry AC Schnitzer now. Post up pics on the intake, if it has it and the upgraded injectors, it might have the tune.
Very Rare MINI indeed. |
Turns out I just needed to look a little harder! it does in fact have the ACS tune :D

Awesome, would love to see pics. :)
