    Sounds like a very nice MINI. LSD on R56 MINI's seems to be pretty rare. Nice find!

    Welcome to M/A.... :D

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Here's some pictures. Also has anyone done a clutch replacement? Just wondering what I'm getting myself into. I rebuilt the motor in my Dodge pickup, so I'm pretty good with a wrench, just want to know any tips if anyone's done one. Thanks everyone!

    Nice ride. You found an unusual combo. LSD but without the sport package. Enjoy it. I know I do. :D

    BTW, I've always been a fan of BRG.

    I depended on the year it was ordered. Generally, for the 2007 - Early 2010 you got 17" wheels with "summer" runflats, clear turn signals (as opposed to orange-lensed), and the "sportier" traction control (DSC versus DTC).

    Oddly that didn't include the Sport Springs or LSD. However, if you got either you ususally go the Sport Package with it.

    None of this is absolute though. Hence, your car. Just goes to show how customizable the MINI is. :Thumbsup:
