Fitting a Zero Point One short shifter in my Mini Cooper S!

[@keepsgoing4evr1]

Glad to see people still working on minis. I still love my R53 JCW. Still fun and getting faster every few months lol.

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Most people that don't work on minis regularly seem to hate working on them... personally, I think they are fairly easy so the mor you do the more you will learn their little quirks :) thanks so much for watching! Miriam xx

[@steve660917]

I got a JCW R57. Had it 4 years now. Spent a fortune on it. Don't use it very often but when I do it's so much fun. Was considering getting one of these shifters but now after seeing your video I think I definitely will. Thanks for the video.

[@ModAMiniGarage]

No worries at all :) I'm glad it was useful for sure :) Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video and comment it means a lot! All the best, Miriam xx

I need this on my electric blue F56 Mini,shame it can't be had for it.

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Let me have a chat and see what we can do..... Might be an option in the making! Thanks for watching, Miriam xx

[@jusueavila4968]

hello gorgeous. excellent work. Your car looks very sporty and the seats are luxurious $

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Thank you so much! I love my seats :) Thanks you so much for watching! Miriam xx

[@leighcheshire5305]

Enjoyed this video, how much quicker does it make tge gear change??😀

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Hard to say in time.... but it's a crazy short!! Works really well to!! Miriam xx

[@ewild9241]

Hi Mirriam, do you have any video of putting the centre console back together and how to cut it ? Thanks

[@ModAMiniGarage]

I didn't film that bit! It's hard to explain aswell... Next time we have one for fitting I will see if I can do a short for it :) thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@ewild9241]

@@ModAMiniGarage No worries, I've just done mine, not the neatest job but it works. Any hints for adjusting reverse gear as mine won't go into reverse most of the time. I was thinking maybe the vertical link arm on the right hand side needs adjustment???

[@theoutofpocketdream]

How you do the double fin?

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Hiya, are you referring to the spoiler? Thanks so much :) Miriam xx

[@kevinglainez8151]

Where can I get those accent for the headlights for my 2005 r50 please let me know

[@ModAMiniGarage]

You will need to find someone who can stripe them and paint the internals :) we did ours ourself, it's called a Joey Mod, there are people out there who will do it for you though :) Miriam xx

[@jusueavila4968]

Hi guys, I'm a fan of our camal. Let me tell you that I have an R53 and I am going to modify the calipers, I have a couple of BMW reboots and I have the 330x25 adapters for the rotor and I would like to know if I need to change the break master cylinder and the break booster? thank you

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Thanks for getting in touch! You probably will be fine using the same cylinder, BUT the pedal may feel a little sloppy no matter how much you bleed them... if it were me, I would fit the kit, see how it feels, and then go for the master cylinder :) I hope this helps! Miriam xx

[@jusueavila4968]

Hello, Miriam. Thank you for your answer. They are the best, I love your channel,

[@zurasadavenko4263]

Hello what model monitor you have installed on your mini , it looks amazing

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Thanks so much for watching! It's just a cheap one off ebay, we bought it to test fitting a display :) it's a 7in display and there are a tonne of them on ebay/amazon really quite easy to fit to! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Miriam xx

[@iancrawford15]

Hey. Great video. Where would one purchase one of the them. I have a 2005 Cooper S , and I live in Canada Any help would be great.

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Hi Ian, thank you so much for watching and commenting :) so you can buy them through us :) no problems at all getting it to canada, but it won't be the cheapest to send... www.modamini.co.uk/product-page/zero-point-one-short-shifter-r53-r56 all the best, Miriam xx

[@iancrawford15]

Thank you , I sent and email to the shop looking for a few more details. Please get back to me as I want to make sure I order everything. Thank you

[@ModAMiniGarage]

You have a reply :)

[@guppylove7200]

Plenty of weight saving going on there 😇 minus one or two bolts

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Hahahaha love em or lose them! 🤣 Thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@sangchuong]

does the shaft have to be to be that long? it looks like the shift knob position is very high compared to the standard location. is there an option for a shorter shaft making the gearknob lower?

[@ModAMiniGarage]

That's just the length it comes in, it's mainly for track cars to allow for fast movement between the knob and the wheel. Thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@jonlouch8485]

Another great video I've just got a 2002 mini cooper s with full leather and panoramic roof but the head gasket is gone do you think it is worth repairing and how rare is it as I've never seen one with a roof like it

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Boom welcome to the mini world! These are wicked little cars! The panoramic roof is fairly common on the pre facelifts, don't see many if any on the post facelifts! I'd say repair it... pretty cheap and easy to do on these :) if your near Essex we'd be happy to take a look for you! All the best, Miriam xx

[@jonlouch8485]

@@ModAMiniGarage I'm in Wiltshire pretty far am quite confident in the repair just a bit nervous as never done a head gasket doesvthe timing chain need changing aswell or would it be ok to use the old one

[@jonlouch8485]

Any advice or tips you could give would be great help

[@moderngooddays5264]

My question is how did you fit a DDIN radio in there!

[@ModAMiniGarage]

This is all magic... hahaha :) I Need to do a video on this! Thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@moderngooddays5264]

@@ModAMiniGarage true true. seems like a good use for 3d printing some extra trim pieces as well. Can't tell you how stoked I would be to have apple play or android auto in mine XD

[@niklaland5460]

How did you get that info display up on your screen ?

[@ModAMiniGarage]

First you need an android tablet radio (£60+ on ebay), you then need an elm obd Bluetooth adapter (£5ish from ebay) and then you need the Torque Pro app from the app store (£3) that's about it :) all works off the ECU :) hope this helps! Miriam xx

[@jamievandalen]

is there a video fitting the doube-din head unit?

[@ModAMiniGarage]

We don't have one :( we really need to do one though!!!! Think it would be popular! Thanks for watching, and the suggestion :) Miriam xx

[@Mahalo_83]

@@ModAMiniGarage is your head unit linked an ultragauge or something? Love to see a video on that.

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Kind of yea! It's connected to a obd adapter which is connected to the Torque Pro app :) cheaper than an ultra gauge and looks better! £60 for the headunit, £5 for the app and £5 for the adapter :) easy to do aswell :) will definitely do a video on it one day :)

[@Mahalo_83]

@@ModAMiniGarage booo it’s Android only

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Yea the app is, but the unit being installed is Android? So should all work :) can probs get one with car play :) hope this helps, Miriam xx

[@dyu4278]

Hi，i have a question what shifter cable u have.😀

[@ModAMiniGarage]

With the zero point one it doesn't matter which cables you have :) the kit come in pre facelift and facelift forms so unlike other brands you don't need to change the cables :) makes it cheaper for the pre facelift peeps :) in this case mine were facelift :) I hope this is what you were getting at :) thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@964cuplove]

how about flipping the video left right… then the writing on the shirt isn’t mirrored 🤦‍♂️

[@ModAMiniGarage]

This is a good idea.... now I just need to work out how hahahaha thanks for watching, Miriam xx

[@dkerr91]

When are you going to post new content?

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Ah man... that's the question we get loads!! We have a few bits recorded ready for editing... but essentially as and when we can find the time! Everything's a million miles an hour atm! Regards, Miriam xx

[@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia]

Did you stop making videos😳

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Not stopped... BUT trying to find time to make more! Really does take so much time! We have just employed someone to help out in the office so fingers crossed we will have more time for videos soon! Thanks for watching! Miriam xx

[@montyshelby]

Damn chick slide that damn seat back a bit great video

[@waterlover]

Cool product but I think it’s time to get a mic. It’s annoying to watch the video with headphones on because you have to turn it up to hear you talk and then when the super loud music you out it. Lows your ear drums… horrible soundsss all the way around!

[@ModAMiniGarage]

I think you are right! need to work out what one would be good! Thanks for watching, Miriam xx

[@underourrock]

@@ModAMiniGarage really not a fan of music on videos... If you make the average music volume much lower than the talking volume, it isn't as jarring. Really great videos, just hoping to tone down the filler... People never turn the volume up to hear the music on a car repair video. They always turn the volume up to hear the person talking. That should help set the priority. Love that your sharing this stuff and hope my comment on the music isn't a bummer. Just hoping to see more videos with small improvements like this.

[@EssexSilvering]

Great video as always, .. Still waiting for you to do my car, still no replies after I write back to you ;-( (Handbrake cable)

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Oh Dave, I am really sorry!! My inbox gets flooded every day and I try my hardest to keep on top of it - I had no idea you were still waiting? Was it through Instagram/Facebook or email that you have messaged? Speak soon and thank you for watching! Miriam xx

[@EssexSilvering]

@@ModAMiniGarage It was through email, you asked me my reg, so replied and never heard back from you, it's like you vanished again lol

[@huwjones5879]

You really should wear protective gloves.

[@964cuplove]

So why ? it looks so ugly and only makes sense in a race car

[@ModAMiniGarage]

Or because you frequent the track and enjoy modifying cars :) lots of reasons to do what you want with your own car :) not everyone has £1200+ to spend on a shifter though so get ypur thinking :) thanks for watching! Miriam xx
