Just checking in with first post. Bought a 2005 Mini Cooper S, dark silver, 137k miles. Needs a little work and looking forward to finding info I need here.

 

Welcome to NAM.

Any pictures of your new ride?

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Welcome.

Loads of information here, Lets keep those GEN1s on the road.

Post some Pics, share a story, what MODs do you have in mind... Always something to find and do.

Motor On!

 

Hi bergie, welcome to NAM. Congrats on the new ownership and let see some pics!

 

Welcome and Congrats. We're happy to help with whatever parts or help you need.

 

Hi and welcome to NAM, bergie33.
Tons of info in the gen 1 section, to get that Mini into shape!
How about some pics!

 

Here are some pics, all dirty with hazy head lights and tail lights, bald tires, worn suspension, bad crank pulley.

​​​​​​I'm a long time BMW owner, always do my own repairs. I'm looking forward to getting the MCS in good shape soon.

Nice, nothing that a little bit of TLC can't fix!

 

Well, a little over 2 weeks of ownership, and I have been busy. Took it out of commission for about 2 full weeks and here is what I did:

ATI Super Damper crank pulley
thermostat and housing
water pump
supercharger gaskets and oil change
Transmission fluid changed with Redline MTL
valve cover gasket
oil pan gasket
rear engine mount
crank position sensor o-ring
right CV boots
serpentine belt
belt tensioner
idler pulley
air filter
coolant hoses
air intake boot

That's all I had time and money for this month. Still needs tires and suspension. It is fun to start driving it again.
