Everything I've Done To My F56 JCW - Part 2

[@964cuplove]

Back after binge watching the R50 track car playlist 😂 you got my subscription with bells and whistles 👍

[@orangeporsh]

Excellent video, superb editing. Nice job, Cam.

[@collinryser]

Thank you Samra, I appreciate it. 🤙🏻

[@peihengdai2975]

Wow, this is excellent. This is the 'fun' part of driving a Mini!

[@collinryser]

Tinkering is one of my favorite things. 🤙🏻

[@carcreationsyt]

Love the ride height, looks awesome!

[@collinryser]

I thought so 🤙🏻

[@hsbd3273]

It's a beautiful car. I've seen the track day video on your channel. Looks like it is fast too! Nice work keeping it looking new and beautiful, with doing so many modifications. Only an enthusiast would know what how NOT stock it is.

[@collinryser]

Definitely fast, I do my best. The enthusiast part is what pushes the motivation. 👌🏻

[@kathycagg6531]

Loved the video as usual!

[@collinryser]

Thank you!

[@BMWBAS]

Great video! Your MINI is what dreams are made of.

[@collinryser]

I can hear the song now... ✨🥱

[@metavenged]

Hell yeah on the faulkens

[@collinryser]

Dude they’re the best, they won’t die 😂

[@KevinonCars]

Nice video and tasteful mods! I also have a F56 JCW but don't have all the crazy mods you've done.

[@collinryser]

Why not! You totally should

[@RawGreySun]

Yes you should!!

[@Revolve9]

Great video! Very educational haha

[@cre8tivegarage157]

The colors are 🔥🔥👍🏽

[@collinryser]

It was freshly ceramic coated the day before. 😎

[@cre8tivegarage157]

So fire fam great work 💪🏿

[@mars71mustang]

I have a 2019 JCW - love to hear any comments or recommendations on doing my first mod. I'm thinking of purchasing some Michelin p4s . I still owe a little to the bank on the car so I 'm planning ahead to make mods. Love the ride over all - looking at mods for future.

[@collinryser]

For a first handling mod, a thicker rear sway bar is the go-to for MINIs. More immediate turn-in, improved balance at the limit. For power, a decatted downpipe or a sport cat will provide quicker turbo spooling, more flow and a little more noise. The good kind of noise of course.

[@Frankl204]

Hi I got my JCW 2016 a stage 1 remap and it is fantastic! I also use P4s all around. The car is driving beautiful. The remap does give a bit of wheel spin at times, but fir me adds to the fun. I believe I am getting around 300 bhp. It handles it well and still drives normal when I want. The tyres are a good grip, but still drive careful in wet conditions.. Hope that helps

[@collinryser]

That’s awesome, who did you have tune it?

[@cornouk]

Do u have any plans on getting a limited slip diff?? I'm thinking about it, but I'm torn between a Wavetrac or a Quaife. They are expensive, but the difference is supposed to transform your mini.

[@collinryser]

I would love to, that’s just about the last big thing I would want to do to it. My girlfriend’s R53 and my Miata both have LSDs and I would love to have one in this car but it’s just hard to justify the cost.

[@gsmini1749]

That is an awesome looking JCW bro, I agree the ride height is amazing😍🔥

[@collinryser]

Thank you sir!

[@kedar8000]

That was a terrific tour of your car.

[@collinryser]

Thank you! I intend to make a similar video of my green MINI as well.

[@martinv7783]

Very nice. What is the brand and model of those Wheels?

[@collinryser]

They are OEM MINI 18” JCW wheels

[@Sendbees]

Yeehaw we love a jcw

[@collinryser]

Yes, we do. ❤️

[@entropicnic6892]

Any specifics on the smaller resonators and muffler you installed? Im looking to do my own custom exhaust setup on my '16 JCW

[@collinryser]

I had a Quicksilver exhaust on the car from the cat back.

[@cpandsooz]

Great mini and thanks for the mods tour

[@collinryser]

Thank you! Another is to come soon of my ‘04.

[@MarkCalica]

Not to rag on you, but. You spent all that on suspension mods but what are those tires? Tires are the number one part in a car for me that actually makes a lot of difference. Other than that, amazing build. I've been intrigued about getting one but can't decide between the R56 or F56. I know the F56 is better in many way, but the R56 seems to work on and it's much more affordable to what my plans are for it. It will be mainly a track car. Thanks for documenting your build. EDIT: I totally missed that you addressed the tires. My apologies lol

[@collinryser]

No worries man, I’m totally on the same page with you. I don’t have this car anymore but when I did I had sticky track tires on it for a long time before I decided to get rid of it. I have an R50 that I track now and it is much more well thought out. P.S. The R56 is only more affordable if you watch it like a hawk and catch repairs before they’re catastrophic 🤙🏻

[@MarkCalica]

@@collinryser I see, thank you. I don't mind doing the preventive maintenance stuff since I work and fix cars lol. Thanks for the reply

[@graydeanj]

Could you please give me info on the mthanop injection? Installer, kit, tuner, inatallation and price?

[@collinryser]

The kit I used was the AEM V3 30-3300, about $470. I removed the windshield cowl and installed the pump right next to the ABS pump where there was a nice slot for it to slide down into, this way the pump is not otherwise visible when the cowl is installed. I used the windshield washer fluid reservoir for the methanol so as not to have to mount an extra tank. The methanol mixture is very similar to wiper fluid anyway, and can be used if need be. The check valve for the kit was installed in the lower driver’s side charge pipe just off of the output of the intercooler. You will need a sandwich bung to mount the nozzle in the silicone hose. Use the very smallest nozzle of the three. The controller was run inside the car behind steering wheel. I did all of the install myself.

[@964cuplove]

2:43 you really think those add stiffness ? Or is it just loosing some weight ?

[@anthonyque9431]

I have 2022 F57 JCW. It is still under warranty. What do you recommend to get 306 hp and 400 torque without loosing my warrenty. Have you heard of anyone dealing with Evolve automotives in England. They claim, they can tune online to 300+ and 400 torque. I value your opinion. thank you for your valub;le time

[@collinryser]

It looks like they don’t have a tune yet for the LCI engines which your car would have, being a 2022. The tune they have for the earlier engines says it’s good for 305 hp but I don’t see a torque number claimed. The only torque value I see is in the dyno graph and it looks like about 360 FtLbs.

[@anthonyque9431]

@Collin Ryser thank you. Very informative

[@stephenagnew670]

Love fuckin minis had one from every generation all jcws end up buying megane rs 300 just for a change looking at this car I do miss my mini good job young fella an your vid was brilliant

[@collinryser]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Hopefully you’ll come back 🤙🏻

[@itsKegger]

What do you think are the best "cheaper" mods to add to a mini that adds horsepower or makes it sound better?

[@carcreationsyt]

Straight forward JCW content! Got a subscribe from me!

[@collinryser]

carcreations Thank you! You as well.

[@carcreationsyt]

@@collinryser oh wow, awesome! Thanks so much!

[@MiniBrothas]

Great video! Well played. I'm always interested to see what other Mini owners have done to their cars.

[@collinryser]

🙌🏻 You’re the best.

[@erickotapish635]

very nice...what the fastest speed u got that mini too...I get scared around 115 but my suspension is stock ....just curious

[@collinryser]

The JCW is rated for a top speed of 153 but I have done 160 in it a handful of times, very controllable. The suspension has a lot to do with it, but I also had much more sticky tires and brake pads on it at the time. I was close behind an M2 at one point going flat out, and I started to slowly creep past because they are limited to 155 in base form.

[@LisaRyanMD]

I always use methanol - now :) No wonder you love the car!

[@collinryser]

Maybe I need to put my “I love meth” sticker on it 🤔

[@nasirahmad4743]

Awesome demo...u rock

[@collinryser]

Thank you!

[@nasirahmad4743]

Great vid again. I wanted to ask you had a video on coding your mini, or have had any coding done to it?

[@collinryser]

I had it coded to start up in sport mode, roll windows up with the key fob, show tire temperatures, maybe a few other things that I’ve forgotten.

[@nasirahmad4743]

Ok koo....

[@cchewwitup]

what size are your tires? i just ordered 18s and was going to go with 35 or 40 ratio and i like the look of yours

[@collinryser]

Those are 215/40/18

[@cchewwitup]

@@collinryser awesome thank you!

[@dougmacrae9535]

Does your car have a in cabin air filter and if so where is it at? Try to find mine on my 2018 jcw.

[@collinryser]

Yes, it is up against the firewall in the very center of the car. Access is through the passenger footwell. Remove the single torx (t20? t25?) screw and pull the panel off that covers the right side of the transmission tunnel. It can be a pain the first time but as a tech I’ve gotten pretty quick at it.

[@BASIM919]

i have a question .. is it safe to the engine if i install a new exhaust with a stock preparation ?

[@collinryser]

Not an issue at all 🤙🏻

[@BASIM919]

@@collinryser appreciate it thank u 👌

[@964cuplove]

Methanol water 50/50 mix was used by Germans in WW II in eG the Bf 109 - cheers from Munich Germany 🎉

[@RawGreySun]

With no run flat tires what do you do on road trips for a spare tire?

[@collinryser]

On our trip to the dragon in 2019 I brought a compact spare wheel and tire from Detroit Tuned.

[@topgearmad12]

Did you find that there’s a delay when you just had the k&n filter? Not sure if my pro ram needs the maf calibrating or not so just wondering if you did anything for your filter, thanks

[@collinryser]

I didn’t have any trouble with mine. You have a throttle response delay after installing yours?

[@qvisionstudios]

Putting your car on "meth" ?! Not what first came into my mind. LOL 😜. Just finished watching your part 1 & 2. Very informative. Just picked up a 2017 F55 and you certainly gave me some ideas. No plans to go full mod but just enough to make it fun on some twisties. First on the list will be Bimmercode and adjust common settings. Which OBD reader do you recommend? BTW, liked and subscribed!

[@TheSlayin]

where did you get the springs?

[@TheSlayin]

coilovers*

[@collinryser]

The coilovers are an OEM MINI suspension that was put on at the dealer when I got the car.

[@RawGreySun]

Tire size 215-40-18??

[@collinryser]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@dougmacrae9535]

Do you use your front lights often?

[@collinryser]

Not often, mostly for long road trips with empty highways. They’re pretty bright and focused, so you definitely don’t want them in someone’s rear view.

[@v1510nman]

nice video, nice car

[@collinryser]

Thank you!

[@harrybolton3451]

I really don't understand this sort of mentality. All that money spent on suspension/handling 'improvements' and such confidence in the cars new found abilities. Yet the car has super budget tyres. I can guarantee a standard car on good tyres such as the Michelin PS4 would not only be much faster around corners, but dynamically superior too.

[@collinryser]

You’re totally right. The tires were the last thing I put on before I sold the car. Everything else I had done over time and I always kept performance tires on it. I had a set of 200 treadwear falkens on it that I loved. But yeah, you’re right. I just knew I was going to be selling the car soon at the time that I made this video.

[@RawGreySun]

@@collinryser You Sold this car???

[@collinryser]

Yep. After I got the Miata and now had two cars I love and want to mod I figured there wasn’t a need for one with a payment. Got what I owed on it.

[@RawGreySun]

@@collinryser :( Now i won't see you at a Mini rally someday. :( Good Luck!!

[@RawGreySun]

@@collinryser And thank for all the knowledge.

[@Skr1lla_Official]

I think I like your car more than u do 😅

[@nicholasmcquillin4659]

Covered lol

[@collinryser]

👌🏻😆 That’s a really great suspension, I was impressed with it. Plenty comfortable for daily driving and capable enough with the sway bars for a thrashing track day on sticky tires.
