Hi everyone, I traded in my '03 MCS for something a little bigger this past weekend but I removed some of the goodies before giving it up. With the exception of the intake(which has about 8000 miles), most of these parts have less than 3,000 miles on them. They're available for pickup in San Jose, CA, otherwise, you pay shipping+insurance.

Milltek catback exhaust ($500) - a little dirty but in good condition this has about 3k miles on it. It's got the bolt-on inside hangers (as opposed to the kind that were welded to the cans) and comes with 2 sets of hangers so I'm guessing this fits on any m/y, but I'm not entirely sure.

Alta Intake (SOLD) - with blue silicone hose. The filter needs to be cleaned and reoiled but otherwise it's in perfect condition. I'm missing 2 hose clamps for this, but you can get some wormdrive clamps at Kragen for a few bucks.

Webb Motorsports Unichip ($600) - This is practically brand new and has only been on my car for a few months. All parts including original packaging are included.

B&M Short Shift Kit ($110) - This is brand new and in box and has never been installed.

19mm black powder coated solid rear swaybar with 2 position adjustment ($100). I bought this a while ago and it never went on the car. I'm fairly certain this is an H&R. Comes with the bar and 2 bushings.

4 x 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's with 215/40 ZR17 BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDA (SOLD) - These are light weight 17"s in the 16lbs range and the tires are comparable to Potenza S03's. The tread is extremely aggresive and I can't tell you how many times people have come up to me asked me what they were (the tread pattern looks like flames). The wheels are High Power Silver(not quite a bright silver so it hides brake dust well but they're still nice and shiny think polished pewter) and have no cosmetic problems. The tires have 90% of their tread left.

4 x 185/65 R15 Michelin Arctic-Alpine Snow tires mounted on 15" steel wheels with silver 7 spoke wheel covers (SOLD). They came with the mini (bought used) so I'm not sure how many miles are on them, but they look like they're practically new and have a ton of tread on them.

4 x 205/50 ZR17 Bridgestone Potenza S03's ($600). These are basically brand new S03's with around 200 miles on them. I bought them mounted on my Team Dynamics wheels from BBM but despite the better ride and superior handling I decided I wanted a lower profile tire so I had them swapped out for the BFG's.

I'd really like to avoid shipping these so the first ones that can pick up will get them. If I haven't sold them in a few days I'll sell to non-local buyers in order, so put your requests in now.

Happy motoring!

 

Hey Marc - Sorry to see you leave the Mini ownership community. So what's your new ride? How do you like it?

Yea I'm a little bummed about this myself. Everytime I see a mini pass I miss mine, but I just had too many "phantom" problems with it. A headlight that would work one night and not the next, a squeeling sound when the car hadn't been driven in a few days, and an SES light that kept coming on. All of which the dealer either said didn't exist or tried to blame on the mods.

I ended up going with a Subaru WRX STi for a change of pace. It's undoubtably quick, but it lacks the personality and "fun" factor of the Mini.

 

Bummer that the Mini was giving you problems. Enjoy the STi! There seems to be a big Suby community in NorCal.
