Got a Mini, plane old Mini not "S", 2004 year off a towtruck driver for a dime. Runs rough, makes white smoke. Goal is to make it roadworthy again. I'll post more about it elsewhere, this is just an intro. Looking forward to interacting with this community, hopefully I'll get to a point sometime where I can contribute something to it.

EDIT: I'm in Honolulu, HI. This sometimes makes it a pain to get parts especially larger ones.

 

Welcome and Congrats. We ship to HI all the time and only charge the actual shipping. Large parts are still hard but can be done.

 

Yep thanks I know you guys are a major source engine stuff.

 

Welcome, was in Oahu last year. Absolutely loved Diamond Head, swimming with the green sea turtles, the Polynesian Cultural center and more. Aloha

 

No such thing as a "plain old Mini"! Justa Cooper, S, JCWs are all super. Let us know how the engine revival progresses out there in paradise.
