MINI IS SOLD

Guys and gals...
Looking to gauge interest in my MC40. I've put a lot of time into the maintenance recently but just had the flywheel come apart. Wife says it needs to go before I try and start putting more money into it.

2nd owner since 16k miles. Now has 143k ish. R90's are in need of a refresh (paint on lips peeling) and new tires. The clutch/trans needs maintenance. This MC40 has all its bits (shift ****, floor mats, number plate on console (#807), carbon dash with JCW logo...)

Replaced:
Front ball joints (inner and outer both sides)
LCA bushings (powerflex)
Right upper engine mount (new stock unit)
New axle assemblies (both sides)
Replaced struts with used (low mile) units and refreshed the spring pads (rubber bits between spring and seats)
New coil pack, plugs and wires
M7 2% OD crank pulley
Cravenspeed 15% SC pulley
DDM intake with silicone intake pipe
DDM IC diverter
MINI Mania 22mm rear sway with poly bushings.
Replaced rear strut bearing on drivers side (pass side still needs replaced)
Replaced rear MC40 decals but never got around to installing the new bonnet decals.
New left front wheel bearing

Head replaced at 130k miles with used unit from Daveke (35k miles on replacement). Cylinder 2 plug shot out and stripped the threads. Helicoil wouldn't work so I replaced the whole head. During this I replaced:

Head gasket, supercharger inlet/outlet seals, throttle body gasket, BPV upgraded to facelift unit, replaced MAF sensors pre and post SC. emptied and replaced SC fluid, intake manifold and exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gasket and plug seals, replaced oil pump rings and seals, belt tensioner and idler pulley replaced, timing chain, chain guides, chain tensioner, cam gear, flushed oil coolant and steering fluid and refilled all with fresh.

I tried posting a while ago but interest was slim and offers were very low. I'd like to get about $2000 for it as is. It starts and runs strong but no power gets from the crank to the transmission. Believe the flywheel is separated and needs replaced.

Buyer responsible for pick up / transport. Price firm.

 

Bump

 

Where is the car located? Zip Code?

 

North of Cincinnati, OH
45011 - Hamilton

 

Bump for the coming weekend.

 

Any guesses on why the car no go?

Should've added that I wanted other people to chime in haha, I already read your guess about the fly wheel.

 

It's either the flywheel or input shaft.. My bet would be on flywheel since it's a known failure point at higher mileage.

 

Motivated to sell now. I found my next MINI so make offers

 

Lowered price. Will be removing the 16" wheels so it will come with the stock R90s that need refinished and will need new tires.

 

Any interest in just selling the R90's? I need a winter setup if the price is right.

 

No thanks. R90's are going with the MINI. The 16's are coming off and going to be my backup set for my R56.

 

Sent you a PM. Very interested.

 

Bump for relist and price change

 

***pending sale***

 

I think if you just part it out you can get more money out of it.

 

I know I can. I could probably get at least $2k for my mods and the interior alone. BUT... its only 1 of 1000 built with these special features. Don't want to 'part it out' like so many do. I have a buyer and sale is pending.

 

Congrats on the sale!
