Hi every one,
I picked up a 2003 MCS with every option except for power seats last Saturday
This a very fun little car and i am blown away with how big it is inside i stand 6"3 and can't move the seat all the way back because i cant reach the pedals unless i use my toes.
I live in Hollywood Ca and have some concerns, that this little car has had some mods performed on it not sure if it will pass the smog test.
From what I have seen I have ALTA CAI and the exhaust is very loud and the car screams up to 7400 RPM's and is pretty quick.
I have had a few fast cars built out 2006 Ram SRT10 and I think the Mini is close to the same numbers up to 80 MPH.

Cheers John

 

I also see I have ebaich springs on stock shocks I need new shocks for sure and i would like some stock 17's the ones on the car are ruined.

 

Congrats on the new ride. It sounds like you might have a fun little project car on your hands. Just curious, I thought when a car gets sold that's more than four years old the seller needed to provide proof that it will pass smog? I had to get my 2001 Civic smog checked before I sold it. In any case, hope it passes!

 

There were heated seats in 2003 but no power seats.

So you may be fully outfitted if you have the heated seats, Nav, and leather.

Do not have heated seats but do have every thing else .... the same nav I had in My X5 lol.

 

Congrats, and welcome to the world of mini.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum, good luck on your inspection, probably be all right.

A few pictures , Also chose to keep the wheels since they are 2 pice DTM's and paint them black.

Those wheels look so small ..... they are 18's and I am running 215/35/18 and can spin the wheels like crazy lol
