noob with an '06 R53

Hi everyone!


New guy here. I bought an '06 MCS with 91,328 miles and a blown motor for $500.00. $5000.00 later I rebuilt the motor, polished and ported the heads, replaced the engine mounts, all of the fluids, brakes, 15% under drive pulley, cold air kit, stainless cat back exhaust, painted wheels (black), new pioneer head unit with speakers, tinted windows and bypass valve mod.


I'm not a huge fan of front wheel drive automatic cars but I am a fan of my mini!


Thanks for all of your knowledge and experience!


Randy.
