Pacific Raceways in 2013 MINI Cooper S JCW GP - ProFormance Racing School 2019-11-02

Just popped by to say since buying an '04 MCS, these videos have helped me change a clutch, flywheel, rear main seal, input seal, polybush wishbones, dampers, brakes, swap ball joints, change a driveshaft, replace the exhaust, swap a cam, replace valve seals & so much more besides. I have what amounts to a mechanically at least, brand new Mini & I doubt I would have got stuck in if not for the invaluable resource this account is. Cheers Kurt.

This is EPIC! Thanks for the upload and keep up the great work!

That smile at the beginning 🙏🙏🙏

[@ModMINI]

Not smile - check if camera is working. :-P

When you start watching a Mini Video and you can only hear this great 911 sound😎

[@VS666]

i did this a few years go, what a great time! i'll be sure to say hello if I see your mini at my local track in Shelton

[@ModMINI]

Haven't been out to Ridge in a long time. That's another great track. Broke a wheel there.

[@elgringoec]

Beautiful course! Nice shifting!

[@ModMINI]

It makes me sad that GP3 is an automatic. Not interested.

[@elgringoec]

@@ModMINI Right on! I wouldn't have bought automatic. Is the newer gen Mini much faster than the R53?

[@ModMINI]

@@elgringoec Stock for stock, Gen 2 is probably the quicker platform. More power, better brakes, smoother shifting, a little more confidence inspiring. Not quite as tight handling as R53 but very very close.

[@elgringoec]

@@ModMINI Thank you sir! I kinda figured that but wasn't sure. Quick story for you... My wife became fascinated with Minis when we watched "The Italian Job". I thought they were silly, feminine cars. Years tick by and she still talks about getting one as it becomes evident it's time for her to get another car. I researched a bit then started looking for six speed S models. The first one I test drove, the guy at the dealer just gave me the key and said try it. I had a country road route pre-planned and when I got out of town I started getting into it and it blew me away. I was hauling tail on these back roads, whipping through corners and getting up to good speeds. I knew then that this was no girly car, but a high performance road conquerer! And that we had to get one. That one had some issues the guy didn't want to make concessions with, but the next one I checked we bought. That was ten, twelve years ago. We live in the mountains and this is a fantastic car for this twisty, elevation changing terrain. So much fun! Next to the motorcycles of course. And it's her daily driver to/from work. She likes it for its manageable size. BTW, the clutch replacement went well and turned out great. You are the man when it comes to clear, precise, thorough procedural process and communication of it. Blessings to you always!

Great drive, thanks!

[@megagrizwald]

Great video it really make me want to track my F56 JCW

[@michaellucente5538]

Hello! I have been watching your tutorials for some time! I own a 2006 mini cooper s. I have a serious problem but am unsure how to resolve it. My oil pump as failed. There is no tutorials on this matter and would like to contact you directly for some advice!

[@ModMINI]

Oil pump is inside the front timing cover.

[@michaellucente5538]

@@ModMINI would this require me to remove the whole engine for the car or can it be done in place?

[@michaellucente5538]

@@ModMINI I appreciate you getting back to me, thank you !

[@bdadsmagee]

Is the thing to the left of the tach a ob2 reader for the coolant temps and oil pressure if so can you tell me the model. Thanks!

미니쿠퍼로 신나게 달려요. 👍💜😁

[@shabbadabbadooby]

I found your videos while looking up the R56S, thanks for the advice. It’s the N14, but it has been looked after and had money pumped into fixing the issues which I where your buying guide came in handy. I love my mini. Did you give up on the supercharged mini and treat yourself to the this? Finally, some of those guys might have you on the straights but you’d leave them for dust on a twisty circuit.

[@ModMINI]

I have a Gp1 and Gp2 now.

[@shabbadabbadooby]

@@ModMINI what upgrades would you do to the mini n14 (other than just replacing it with a better model)? I saw that there’s an oil catch that can help reduce the coking. That’s the sort of mod I’m after, not performance as much as robustness.

[@rogerv1405]

Sounds like it's running very good

[@ModMINI]

This car loves motorsport.

[@LordCornwallis30]

@@ModMINI love my supercharger whine, but you can't help but be jealous of the turbo power and I think the chassis is better balanced somehow stock for stock.

[@JohnJohn-ke9nh]

Very Nice. 👍😎

[@meman24]

Where'd you get the blue side mirrors from?? Been looking for some proper film for a while! Thanks

[@ModMINI]

Not film. amzn.to/2PU7shY

[@O123Josh]

Where did you source those door-armrests? Would love some for my GP2!

[@ModMINI]

Man you guys don't miss even the smallest detail. I found on eBay, don't see the listing now, perhaps make saved search for 'r56 stitched armrest cover'

[@O123Josh]

Mod MINI Hahaha, it’s all about the details! Thanks

[@r.s.grantwoodworking7691]

Good video.

[@hasanmichael4966]

That Black Beemer!! Am I right. He might have had a faster car but he was not a better driver than you.

[@ModMINI]

I have a lot to learn but I know where the driving line is.

[@thedonvon4507]

Hey man if you can please watch my video in let me know what you think I would highly appreciate it. My r53 was squealing and chattering bad so I sprayed some lithium in the tensioner and the squeal went away and now in left with a grinding type noise

[@ModMINI]

Replace the part that is making the noise. Take off belt and spin by hand to confirm

[@Tugboatpb]

Tired of R53's I take it? Lol

[@ModMINI]

I like all MINIs. Would like to also get a GP1 someday.

[@ModMINI]

Update: I also have a GP1 now

[@Tugboatpb]

@@ModMINI wow congratulations! Make sure film it for us plebeians 😋
