MINI Cooper S 1.6 (M)
for clever bits, such as a befitting John
Cooper Works Aero Kit 2 front bumper,
finished with OEM DRLs. The interior
however, is a different story; a very snug
and hugging Bride Zeta III full bucket
seat is paired with a Sparco four-point
harness for a firm and safe adventure
on the circuit. Critical information is
fed off a Scangauge 2 LED display,
that accurately monitors essential
engine and coolant temperatures.
Michael’s obsession with the track
has led him to be a frequent member
of the PG Trackies group, dedicated
to smashing records while having fun
at the neighbouring circuit of Johor
at Pasir Gudang. This closely-knitted
group of friends share tips as to shave
and further reduce times on the olden
circuit, that is currently about to undergo
renovations. With the assistance of MTR
Motoren for helping maintain his Cooper
S and Grip Academy for the expert
driving advice, Michael is a convinced
individual that his Cooper S is indeed
capable of some truly amazing feats,
even against larger-capacity cars!
