Wow-That is a lot of HP for a few simple mods. I do not have LSD.
I will probably not do any mods till its out of warranty. I do not want to have to fight with MINI. I hear they are bad enough the way it is honoring warranties.

We have had 0 problems with Mini. We did most of the stuff with under 10kmi on the car. They did took care of everything for us. We even had a bad O2 replaced when we got a CEL with the new down pipe. I think as long as they don't see a lot of over revs in the ECU & know it's adult owned you are ok.

With out a LSD, the new power will be very hard to put down! Even with the LSD, there is a TON of torque steer in 1st & a little less in 2nd.

I brought our new baby home today. 04 MCS 6-speed. Dark blue with white roof. Going to get her washed and waxed this afternoon.
I'm already in a group buy for an alta 15% supercharger pulley. I'll add a 2% drive pulley, intake and exhaust and that should put me around 200HP. Then some lightweight 17's, coilovers and a rear sway and I'm done!

I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it white. I may the mirrors and roof wrapped in black. I think it would look better with the black grills I'll be getting to replace the chrome ones.

I wouldnt mess with the drive pulley.........I've heard some horror stories. With a JCW tune, 15% pulley and intake I dynoed 189 at the wheels.

Nice color mine is Space Blue......

By the way I commend you on TnT....I raised over $10k for my marathon in Seattle last June...unfortunately I am currently in Seattle since my 5 year old niece just relapsed last Fri.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm sorry to hear about your niece. What is TnT though?
