Modded as in pulley, intake, exhaust etc..you know the 200plus h.p. boys and girls.
Who's got the most miles since the mod's, any problems or all trouble free. I don't count yet only 350mi so far...

I guess it might be good to set criterion for major modded MINIs.
About 200 HP (no matter how you got there?) For the MCS- likely pulley/ECU/thottlebody/intake/exhaust header/cat back exhaust.
Any JCW kit MCS upgrade.
Any full install Mini Mania upgrade kit of greater than 200 HP.
Air to air or water to air intercooler upgrade?
Then what do you consider a Modded motor if you have a Cooper (NASP)?
Not an issue? Not much you can do with an intake, exhaust header, cat back exhaust, ECU upgrade, ignition upgrade.

I've got a MC with a new head and cam with about 8500 miles on them, inaddition to header, exhaust, intake,ignition, MSD coil, MSD wires, iridium plugs etc. Runs like a champ although I do notice differences depending on where I fill up.
I'm holding out for the Getrag 5 speed coming out soon before I look at Randy's bore kits and big valve head. I don't want to blow a tranny apart.

Mania pulley, Supersprint header, Magnaflow exhaust, Madness intake, CryO2 system, Alta diverter/sprayer and a few other goodies. All installed in the first 300 miles or so. No problems other than this perma-grin that I can't shake! :smile: I'm up to 4200 miles now...
P.S. I won't consider my stumble/yo-yo/bog/cold start issue a problem from mod's.
