Must Fight Temptation

My 06 MCS is being unloaded from the ship as I write this and I am already going over the edge. :impatient

I have a box with Alta pullies already waiting, just ordered new wheels and tires that will be here before the car even leaves Charleston. Now I am fighting the temptation to order a header and cat back, suspension stuff and who knows what else ...

There needs to be a warning label.. Mini's Ownership is Highly Addictive.

Newbs, ditto. I had a box of stuff before I even got my MINI. Now, I would almost sell my left are is the price was right for something I wanted! It is something that just makes every MINI unique.

i agree....

... i am planning on spending so much money in the future. its really bad, i should have forward thinking in mind, but its so hard to say no!! My advice though, would be to drive the car stock for at least a few thousand miles. To get all the bugs out of it...(ie. anyhting that might be defective from the factory, so warranty work wouldnt be an issue) and also to see how much of an improvement the car is with the mods!! Its was amazing to feel the difference when i went to the 19%!!! Best of luck with the arrival!!!
