First Mini R53 S

Hello from Hawaii, son and I bought a 05 Chrono package. looking at adding a few mods (pulley, ignition, intake) but for now getting it ready for the mods, needing to replace strut upper mount. Any local members to Hawaii have special tools needed for the pulley removal?

Hi and welcome to the NAM family, Alex and son!
Congrats on purchasing a gen 1 Mini Cooper S. a great year for Mini and the true Mini, before getting bloated!
I had an 05 with chrono package and loved it! I replaced it with an 06 MCS JCW model and drive it daily.
The 05 and 06 Minis' are special cars, with supercharger. I am a six speed manual trans kinda guy, so what is yours?
Here is a pic of my first Mini, which I passed to a young girl that had her face cracking after driving it! LOL

Welcome. We are happy to help with your mods and feel free to email us before you order as we can often do some special packaging to save you as we do it for all our HI customers because UPS just kills you otherwise.

Just FYI make sure inquire what type of shipping they use to ship to Hawaii otherwise refuse the item when using Parcel Post it will takes 30 days ... lesson learned
