So I picked up a 100,000 mile 2005 mcs automatic. Carfax states that the one owner brought the vehicle in to dealership for regular maintanence. Car is very clean in and out. Only mod in the engine bay I could see were Craven Strut tower defenders. Is it safe to add tje following mods?
Alta 15% pulley
Alta lightened crank pulley
Alta Intake system for automatic
Colder spark plugs
Shorter belt
Maybe an exhaust, just maybe :-).
Any problems with a MINI with so many miles with these mods? Or just forget about the mods and drive it the way it is? Thanks

 

Handsome car, congratulations. I personally don't see any issue. One thing I recommend is checking your compression first. It won't tell you anything about the condition of your bearings, but will say a lot about your top end. At 100k I'm suspecting it will be fine, but that gives you the peace of mind to know you are starting with a solid foundation.

 

100,000 miles is just fine as long as the car is in good regular working order, I went from 210whp to 230whp with mods @ 140,000 with no issues what so ever.

 

I would suggest an inspection of the supercharger. As it is up there in age, I would suggest making sure that the lubricant is still present and the internal gears are still in good shape before adding a reduction pulley. I would hate to do all of that work just to have to remove and rebuild the supercharger.
