In the Market for a 2009

Hello Everyone,

I am in the market for a 2009 JCW Mini Clubman - a local private dealer has a great silver model with 79K miles on it. Runs well with just a few dings etc (very normal for a model with this mileage). I'm thinking about getting a timing chain replacement kit (easy to find), an upgraded turbo kit (replacing just as a good preventative measure) and a clutch kit. Any suggestions on a great upgrade turbo kit and clutch kit? Thanks in advance!

Doing a timing chain isn't a bad idea. We keep them in stock.

But for the turbo and clutch those are expensive parts that usually give warning before they fail so save your money and worry about them IF they actually fail. I'd love to sell those to you but you many not need them, and if you do it may be a long time.

HAHA! Thanks Way - I'm actually using the mileage as an excuse for the upgraded turbo I think. Maybe I can wait on the clutch but I'm thinking ECU, Turbo, downpipe+exhaust.... any suggestions?
