Look What I Scored Today.....

Got it for $100.....she wouldn't ship it, so we jumped in the '04 R53 and drove 7 hour round trip to get it, which included a breakfast stop for about an hour.....this is for our '06 R52 MCS JCW car that we got a few weeks ago.......

My wife thinks I'm the only one that will fine a deal and drive hours round trip to get it ... if that's what it take to get it.
Actually have had many great trips that I enjoyed doing it.
Congrats.

Yup, got the EWS and engine computer back from RPM Motorsports, engine now starts and runs.

Gotta do supercharger service and then let the engine run to see if it is ok

If your wife doesn't think it was worth it , take her for a ride without the deflector then install it and let her feel the difference ... a seven hour drive is just a nice easy day drive...

Motor On!

Nice find, i got mine used for $100 back in the day from a local member but it did not have the case and it had a couple small burn holes from cigarettes tossed out on the road into the air and i guess landed in the car, the MINI was a non smoker.
