Hello there
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Got a good deal on a 2003 S with a 6 speed. Always wanted a Mini forever. Now to start to fix it up. I can not keep any car stock. I am a hotrodder at heart and its got to better. Got a 6-71 blown 23 T bucket, 29 chopped Tudor sedan in da fabrication stage (it will be blown too but with a big block), the kids racing karts, and now the Mini. I do EVERYTHING myself and got all the tools and welders etc.....[/SIZE][/FONT]

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Got a R Speed sway bar off Ebay last week and installed it Saturday. Easy, no sweat. Next mods will be a header and a one ball pipe I will fab and install. Stopped by Midas Saturday just to see what they would get for doing the pipe. Figured if they would do it for $100 I'd let them do it. The guy said $250-$300 and I said no way. I can do it myself for $50 or less. Get some bends and clamps from Summit and cut and weld up a pipe. Remove the extra muffler until I get around to paying the bucks for a cat-back. Also the smaller blower pulley and chip. Gonna need some new tarz soon and get rid of them Run Flats.[/SIZE][/FONT]
