looking for an 02-05 supercharged 6sp

Go to West Chester and talk to Mark O'Neill. Good man. He can get you where you need to be.

I've heard good things about Otto's Mini too.

thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

If possible, get an 05-06 which had deeper gearing and were a bit quicker off the line.

Supraru · 02-28-2009, 12:19 AM

Yeah check out otto's mini. I've been there before and they have a decent range to choose from.

If you get a Mini, you're coming out to Autocross. No if's, and's, or but's.

Go to J&S Autohaus in Ewing, New Jersey. They got access to everything. I work there in the summer and drove more than a few of their Minis. the S/C is a great car. lots of fun.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Checkout helix13.com, they're probably the most knowledgeable MINI tuners on the east coast and they're right up your alley in Manayunk.

A bunch of us MINI owners also meet at the Jackson Premium outlets in Jackson,NJ on the last Friday of every month. PM me if you're interested.

Mindspin311 · 05-07-2009, 10:50 PM

Main Line Mini has a pretty sizeable inventory as well.

Mindspin311 · 05-07-2009, 10:54 PM

And WTF, there's a Mini tuner in M'yunk?

Yup, Helix moved there recently. They do a helluva job on BMWs too. Took a ride on their 335 mule and nearly soiled my shorts.

They're good guys. I had a rear sway bar installed which took maybe an hour by them. Which, also FYI, is the best bang for your buck in suspension mods next to tires. http://helix13.com/mini/products
They used to have a twincharged R53 that rolled on a Porsche on the highway so they know how to make some serious power.

Mindspin311 · 05-28-2009, 08:45 PM

Makes me wish I actually got a MCS now

///MpoweredM · 05-29-2009, 09:45 PM

try to get an 04 or newer.

92dxman · 05-30-2009, 09:07 AM

05+ MCS has the factory limited slip as well..

upperguy · 05-30-2009, 09:32 AM
