yup, the name is indeed MacGyver, like the late 80s early 90s TV show.

The combination is amazing, I had not seen PW with red leather interior aether, but now I know I made the right decision.. The wait and the frustration was well worthed!

Sunman,

Nice MCS. Pretty much how I'd like mine to look if I ever pull the trigger. If you don't mind me asking, how did you deal with the TPMS issue with the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 wheels? I thought they were not compatible with the TPMS sensors on the newer R56 minis.

Rear Fog lights....non-operational. You really can't see them (to dark) but I put Air Brakes on as well.

Beautiful car.

Have you considered making your rear fog lights into brake lights? I bought the aftermarket kit and I'm very pleased with the results.

Hi Rodan,
Thanks
As far as the TPMS, the place I took my car to just took off of the OEM wheels and mounted onto the Pro Race wheels. I did a reset and that was it - so far so good!

it is the tamiya m-03L chassis. here is the link to it on the tamiya website however, i wouldnt order it through them cause you can find it much cheaper. i ordered mine from stella models on ebay, because no one had it in stock yet in the states, and stella models is over in hong kong. i think i paid a little over $100 with shipping. also, dont expect the headlights to look like they do on mine. the body only comes with stickers which look very blah . thats why i made custom ones with leds for mine. good luck and they are a lot of fun let me know if you have any other questions

Could you fill me in on the "KIT", the particulars and such?
Futzing with auto-electric always makes me uneasy, so any tips or whatever problems you experienced during the install would be great. PM is fine if you'd like.

Thanks.

Thanks Kevin,
My wife picked out the color, and everytime she sees the Yellow she sighs and second guess' her descision.
We live out in what is called the Quite Corner, more precisely Canterbury. Nice spot, 40mins from Providence, 40mins from Worcester and 55 from Hartford.
