New member with a 2005 MCSC with some goodies

Ive been on the site for a few weeks now, but I haven't posted any pics yet. About a month ago I purchased a 2005 MCSC with 42K on it. It's silver with black top and gray leather interior. 6 speed of course.

Factory Options:
  • Convenience Package
  • Cold Weather Package
  • Chrono Package
  • 17 inch Bullet wheels
Previous owner added:
  • Milltek Catback exhaust
  • DDMWorks CAI set-up
  • DDMWorks Supercharger air diverter
  • Way Motor Works pulley (not sure which %)
  • Koni FSD shocks
  • M7 strut plates and bar

Since getting the car, I've found a few more items from sellers on CL, an OEM windblocker, and a factory car cover. I also scored a set of additional wheels.


So far, I am loving it, there have been a number of good top-down days, and I've dropped the top every chance I've had.


Here's a pic.




And here it is with the "extra" set of wheels, these are 16 inchers, for a slightly more forgiving ride.



With top up:

Congrats, I think I know who's car that was, and if I'm right that is a perfect car.

Welcome to the NAM forums! What a great color combination, and not much beats top-down driving on a nice day. Welcome to MINI ownership!

I was remembering that car had an Hsport comp rear sway bar, TSW X brace, silver turn signal bulbs, powerflex control arm bushings, and Hsport front sway bar.
The old customer took great care of it and we changed the oil every 5k miles. The only repair I last remember doing was a leaking thermostat.

Wow, it sounds like I got an even better deal/car than I thought!!

It will absolutely be coming back to WMW for service, although I like to do my own oil changes.

I plan on bringing it in soon for a tune, a general check-up, and getting some of the optional programming changed. I HATE automatic door locks!

Do your records on the car show what % pulley was installed?
