    Hi everyone, I'm from Tampa FL and just got my 06 MCS about two month ago. Before I had a 2003 MR2 Spyder but I really like my Mini. Already have to change the radiator reservoir and the slave cylinder but I did it myself so I'm learning to work on this beauty. Something that I love from this forum is how easy is to find answers to my questions before asking. Love my Mini and the SC noise....:cornut:

    Thank you all for your warm welcome. Just yesterday find an old friend who also have a 2003 S for over 5 years and he did a lot of mods and fix on his mini. He found a good and a bad part on my car. The bad one is the right front strut is separating and he told me to get a plate that is for sale on a mini website but since I plan to lower the car may I get it done once. The good part is that the last owner change the harmonic balance for one that he said cost around $400. He found the car with a little more power than stcok when he drove it. His car has 19% supercharge pulley, alta intake, upgraded injectors and a lot other mods. The good side of these is that he offer me to help me in anything to do with the car cuz he did everything by himself. Nice to have a good friend that also have a Mini....lol
