I just recently bought a 2004 MCS in Silver with 23k miles. I really like how this thing drives! It has the JCW 18s with some minor curb rash. Overall this thing is a blast to drive especially taking it on the highway. No I don't hit triple digit speeds I go speed limit. Yes I'm 20. Its the 6spd Manual. This thing reminds me of my 95 318ti that is waiting for a cooling system.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of it yet, but will possibly post them up in the coming days. Have summer school and don't really have time to take any pictures.

My future plans for it is possibly a JCW Exhaust (how much will this run me?) or an Invidia Exhaust, 15% pulley and a CAI. Also some suspension and some 6k HIDs, maybe I'll retrofit some projectors (not sure how they'll fit) The car didn't come with any fog lights so I might add those to the list aswell. Also, where can I get some Xenon Headlights w/ the projector and an LED Halo Post Face Lift? I'll probably put some new wheels on as well, haven't decided what I'll put on. What is the bolt patter 4x100? Also whats the ET on the Mini?

Thanks for looking

 

congrats

 

Thanks. These cars are so much fun to drive. Taking it to my first auto-x tomorrow.

 

Hooray for you! Have fun at the AutoX tomorrow!

 

Congrats on the new MINI, and good luck tomorrow at the auto-x!!

 

Welcome

Yes the bolt pattern is 4x100, the offset changes with different wheels.

As for exhaust try to listen to them before you buy, they are all different.

And the headlights. Watch out they are expensive to buy new xenons. We get a pretty good price, but they still aren't cheap. Let us know if we can help get you any parts.

Greg: You're going to pay out the @ss for original MINI Xenons unless you pull them out of a junkyard. You might want to consider upgrading your halogens to HID. Check out this link: http://www.carid.com/2004-mini-coope...kit-67569.html

Happy motoring!

 

Welcome to the forum, hope you and the MINI are happy together

 

Thanks guys! I'll look into the things you guys told me!
