What mods are on this MCS?

Hey NAM,

http://www.cars-r-us.ca/used-invento...ed65e0e1105af3

What do you guys think about this Mini? From the lousy engine bay pic, what mods can you see? Looks like an enthusiast owned this one but I'm not too sure about it because it's being sold at this dealership. In Toronto, a lot of the used car dealerships in this area are shady.

Thoughts?

I can't help you with your mods identifying mission, but at 178,000+ km I would have this thing thoroughly inspected by a MINI mechanic before I even considered it.

M7 intercooler, aftermarket SS mesh lower grille, look like factory driving lights.
Would have clutch, SC, compression checked before buying it.
Probally has some demons.
Do you have CarFax up there?

Wow! That means I can take the car into the past and really get to know its history.

Under the hood: M7 DFIC, Alta CAI, M7 STB, I think I see tubes going to an OCC in there. A/M exhuast (or possibly just tips, but not likely). Cant see it, but nearly 100% chance of having a pulley.

Body: Orciari(sp?) cowl scoops, M7 Ultimate lower grill, M7 DFIC scoop,

I'd have the thing gone over with a fine tooth comb, though. For those of us who don't drink maple syrup for diner, and go to work riding a Moose. 178,000km is about 118,000mi.
