I see some Miata or ex-miata drivers here. I am guessing that the pulley mod is much like the throttle response of the Miata. It makes the car beg to be flogged!!! I get goose bumps thinking about it, Keep in mind my S is 2 weeks old and 860 smiles, I haven't even floored her yet. I am guessing it's a good thing I didn't buy an extended warranty

Right you are. Just an informal way of getting my own age check on my MINI Online Peers. As for me, 44 and still stuck acting 24 when it comes to cars. OK ... not 24 - 14. :smile:

>>I was talking yesterday with Randy at great length about the pulley breaking warranty. It will break the warranty for anything happening to the supercharger but that really is all that they could pin on you. Randy has seen 2 superchargers go out without the pulley mod and NO superchargers go out with the new pulley YET. Doesn't mean that it will happen, but he stated that you really shouldn't worry about the mod since it would only void the supercharger appliance. He also stated that if he does the mod and the supercharger blows up, that he would provide a new one at cost with is considerably cheaper than what you would pay at the dealer.

>>Cool dude... Trust him.

>>Do the pulley mod... I am. I have to find 400 first...


What is the cost of a supercharger? Anyone? Dealers price?
