just picked up a 03 s. with 38k. in great shape. looks to have a cai and a catch can. any thing else i should look for? and are there any known issues with these 2 items. sometimes a cai can lean out the car with out a tune and a catch can does just that but not sure if it's hooked up correctly. thanks in advance.

 

Congratulations on your new MINI! Where in PA are you? I'm in East Stroudsburg, about 40 mins from Lehigh Valley

 

Hey a PA native. Just have to say, doesn't it suck that we can't enjoy our minis like everyone else because the roads SUCK?

 

it seems that way too in jersey lol at least by me

cangrats on your new mini i just picked up an 02 mini myself

happy motoring

 

Welcome and congrats! I've heard from a local MINI shop that they tend to not want to put OCC's on the supercharged MINIs because apparently the PCV gasses are used to lubricate the SC splines. I'm no car expert so please take that with a grain of salt. They said that the OCC's benefit the turbo MINIs more and they highly recommend them. Anyway, have fun with your new super-low mileage MINI!

 

Welcome to the forum, congrats on the MINI.

 

pa roads due suck. for sure. thanks for the advice and warm welcomes

 

Yes the roads arent that great. Especially up north past Williamsport with the gas companies coming in and destroying all the back roads. BTW where do you live neonsrt4?

 

Wishing you the best! Post pics!

 

Welcome! I am removed from PA (Williamsport), now in OH. Gotta say, the roads here are worse here then they were there, though I've heard the gas companies were wrecking things back home.

 

Oh you don't even know, I live farther south (hour or so from Allentown) and the boroughs don't care 1 bit about the roads. Sometimes on PennDot owned roads there are pot holes as deep as your tire. It sucks knowing that every time I hit one of these my mini is slowly being destroyed.

 

I don't mean to threadjack this with more anti-pa road stuff but...

after driving back from Denver MTTS this week, I was sailing along, Indiana had some lane closures and construction on I-70 but then, after 16 hours of driving I came to Youngstown, OH and the PA I-80 start

'nuff said (miles and miles of lane closures on hills with lines and lines of semis jammed up)

oh and the NE EXT of the PA TPK is not much better

I gotta move to the midwest or west

yep, I-80 the worst road ever. My dream is to drive the PCH (pacific coast highway) with my mini.

 

Haha yeah the roads here are HORRIBLE! My brother and I were driving in my MINI today and we hit a hole, and my brother jumped and screamed like a girl :D. The scream was for laughs, the jumping was instinct lol

 

Oh it's always nice hearing another wonderful MINI came to PA. Makes the few and strong ones we have around here have another buddy! I'm located in a little town (if you'd even call it that) named Danville, Pa. Also, the comments about the Pa roads sucking, you're all completely correct. They actually just tar and chipped the roads out by my house. :[ I'm so mad!

 

Hey just drove through Danville today to go to knobles. It seems that there is a lot more tar a chip going on. Must be a lot cheaper, but cant last that long.

 

Oh the great Knobles. Lol. I just hate the tar and chipped roads because they're ruining my paint! And I go 5-10 mph over them! It's terrible. :(

 

i'm in south east pa, near philly. the roads suck state wide for sure. i'll never understand why they tar and chip the roads. all it does is fling tar and chips all over the side of my car. what a waste. i have noticed lately though a lot of repaving of roads and tree trimming. only 10 years over due but il'l take it.

 

Danville? I went to elementary school in Danville! Even further off topic, is the new wooden roller coaster open at Knoebels yet? (the tube looking one)

 

No, I don't believe so.. Lol

 

No its not. It looks like it is done but i guess they still have some work to do. Looks like a lot of fun though.

 

nope still closed. Hershey park was good this year though lol.
