Supercharger rebuilds aren't worth the shipping cost. Only thing I'd trust is a factory re-manufactured unit. I've blown up two rebuilt superchargers.

I've got a DSS on the passenger side and OEM on the driver's side. Both were installed around 100k due to CV boot failure. The DSS shows signs of...

I think I've probably posted this opinion seven times already... I agree with Scott, MTL feels notchy in my tranny when I first swap the fluid....

Also, there's a good how-to here with pictures of a makeshift tool: Pelican Technical Article: MINI Cooper - Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder...

I borrowed one like this from minimark and stripped the threads fairly easily (because that's what friends are for :frown2:). Be gentle and use a...

Not sure if you can take the filter housing off the block without disconnecting the heat exchanger. Just a warning, if you're going to take the...

Thanks, buddy. :biggrin5:

All your points are fair. If you're comfortable with your trade-offs, I'm comfortable with mine. Also, my engine is stock and I'm on street tires...

Sorry, late to the party on this response. In case the 15" kool aide starts to get a bit strong, imagine a world where you're running 13" rotors...

Check the upper radiator hose while you're in there. Sometimes they rub on the fan shroud. Did anyone mention motor mounts?

Haha, good luck. Try taking out the rear seat, buying lighter wheels (15's if possible), and running smaller tires. That engine has almost no...

Looks like they brought in safety equipment from all over. @1:02 you can see a safety truck from VIR in southern Virginia.

If you're going for "small and lasts forever," check out this Makita. The oil-lubricated pump is very quiet, runs cooler, and will last much...

Rotors do two good things - provide something for the pads to grab onto and dissipate heat - and one bad - add unsprung weight. Brake design...

I always had good experiences with my Star Specs in the rain, 215/45-17. Just add a couple extra pounds of air pressure to round out the tire...

Does anybody run the track models, and if so, how do they compare to a TSW / Powerflex / Powerflex combo?

Will you sell the wheels separate?

Sounds like you're moving in the right direction. Check that sensor connections are plugged in, too, like the accelerator pedal, the throttle...
