    Hello there M/A! I recently picked myself up a Pepper White 2005 MCS. I had always wanted a Mini and finally got the chance to snag one up.

    So far it just has a 15% pulley, intake and exhaust. I'm not looking to do too many more mods. Although I have been looking around for some shifter bushings but it seems there are none to be had. :(

    For now I plan to just drive it and enjoy. :D

    I have shifter bushings, they come with our shifters. Of course, I highly recommend the shifter, but I could price just the machined aluminum bushings for you if that is all you need.

    Thx guys for the welcome!

    Oh, awesome on the bushings. I will definitely pick up a short shifter too. I had the under-hood bushings for the shift cables on my Evo, in addition to the in-car ones, and they made a huge difference. Don't spose anyone makes those?

    Hah yeah, what I really meant was I don't plan to spend 20k this go around. May do the cheapy mods, a tune and perhaps some coilovers. We'll see what the wife will let me get away with. :X
