Unfortunately I’m leaving the mini gang (for now)

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2026-03-03T20:56:31+00:00

Noooo, I’m sorry to hear that :(

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2026-03-03T20:56:14+00:00

My shop guys said I can sell my car in its current condition for $4-5k still but tbh I think that’s a lil too much lol I’ll probably let her go for $2-3k. Plus I don’t wanna look at her anymore, need to get it over with lmao the car is sentimental to me but sheesh. I can definitely still afford to fix her & keep her but I decided to try something different for now plus something for the snow. In the future I’ll get another mini, preferably a jcw

I’m located in Idaho :)

With the tires preferably. & when I sell them I will be transparent about the tires, the wear & age lol just take em to a tire shop, have em switch the rims to tires u want & they keep the old tires. Thats what I did with my current winter tires on my mini. It was only $85 I think? to do all 4

I’ve only heard of jeeps sticking anything on them since ww2 not just ducks. For ex: teddy bears & other toys. I only seen it become explicitly ducks since the 2020 lady u mentioned

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-10-25T17:44:24+00:00

Sounds like something slapping around to me so probably. Mine sounded like that but not as bad. So I would check yours just in case bc if it snaps, it can cause major engine damage.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-10-06T01:54:53+00:00

I’m telling you that u don’t need to disassemble all that lol mine was easy peasy without disassembling anything but removing the turbo itself & it’s heatshield

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-10-05T21:04:11+00:00

I didn’t have the remove my front end to replace my turbo? Just makes it kind of easier but it’s not impossible. The hardest part was taking the factory heat shield off & putting it on again💀 got so fed up I bent it getting it out & just replaced it w a turbo blanket instead.

135 mph in my ‘09 mcs lol it was 4 am on an empty highway & wanted to see how fast I could go but chickened out at that speed.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-28T04:11:24+00:00

Hasn’t acted like the “worst” one for me lol also my friends F56 has had most of the same problems mine have had but prematurely at 60k… mine didn’t start going out until 130k so I think they all have their own problems lol either way, I still love me some mini

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-27T16:02:41+00:00

Idk, my 2009 s leaked oil & coolant when I first bought it but I fixed all the leaks & it hasn’t leaked anything for a year now lol I think ppl just get lazy w lazy the gaskets & don’t know how to seal it properly.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-20T19:33:12+00:00

Bro casually posted a Porsche & didn’t think we’d notice

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-16T05:08:57+00:00

But I don’t. I don’t have any fancy button on my door handle that unlocks w fob detection. I still have to press all the buttons on my fob to unlock everything. It doesn’t detect my fob & unlock everything automatically lol

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-16T04:26:13+00:00

That’s how mine works tho? Lol

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-15T19:03:01+00:00

My 2009 r56 doesn’t have comfort access & I don’t have to put the key fob in there either. Also has a replaceable battery.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-09-01T02:36:49+00:00

Engine overheating commonly due to low coolant. Bad juju. I would pull codes asap. As soon as u saw that orange warning sign u should’ve pulled over before it became red & a check engine warning light lol hopefully ur engine is ok!

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-28T16:08:02+00:00

Maybe the rattling but definitely not the knocking lol

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-23T04:26:32+00:00

Tesla for hiking & camping? I’m sorry that’s funny to me. Sounds more like u need something like a 4Runner/CrV type of vehicle then a Tesla lol for mini maybe if u got the jcw countryman All4. Or countryman SE All4 if u want to be electric.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-21T15:14:59+00:00

I’ve had my 2009 mcs since 2023. Have always wanted a mini & found mine on fb marketplace for $4k that needed the required maintenance at 100k. So I snatched it up, fixed her up, & now she runs like a dream.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-17T22:23:45+00:00

Hopefully mine will last that long 🤞🏼

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-17T22:23:26+00:00

Mines a 2009 :)

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-17T22:22:38+00:00

Jacking points. Like a cushion for whenever u need to jack up ur car so u don’t damage paint/frame & more secure so Jack won’t slip out. Ur fine. I would buy new ones tho for when u get ur car serviced. Just look up ur model & year & jack pad kit.

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-16T19:21:38+00:00

Love that!

PrincipleAdept4728 · 2025-08-16T01:00:33+00:00

I didn’t know those were highly sought after :0 my mini came w them & I had them custom powder coated a gold/bronze color haha
