Bought the car because I needed a Daily Driver, my SRT4 only gets 11mpgs..

Head gasket, head bolts (stretch bolts) replaced (OEM)
Water pump, Thermostat, and connecting tube under intake replaced (OEM)
Turbo feed line, return line and attaching hardware all replaced (OEM)
Exhaust camshaft replaced per machine shop recommendation (vacuum pump failed)
Replaced vacuum pump assembly - original reason timing chain failed
Oil pan removed, cleaned and re-installed with new sealant for gasket

Exterior:
Replaced front fog light housings - had corrosion so bad they barely emitted light
Replaced missing chrome trim on bumper and hood.

I've been driving this for awhile now, but it seems i still perfer the 11mpg SRT4.
I have reciepts for all the parts, and 2/3 of them have a 2year wty, (maybe 13 months left?) as they were purchased at the MINI Dealer.
I only have the One key fob for the car, but if interested, can get a second key for a serious buyer
We have emission testing here, and the MINI does pass the test.
I personally built this MINI,minus the machining of the cylinder head. I've worked for MINI for several years
This was meant to replace my R53 that I sold because the roll cage didn't allow a car seat in the back.
Shockingly, the R56 doesn't seem to fit a car seat as well as I was assuming.
Has factory rubber floor mats, they seem to fit the best.
Front plate bracket is included, I perfer the no front plate look!
