Al - Switzerland

(sorry posted my first intro on the wrong section)

Hey,
my name is Alessandro, live in Geneva Switzerland i own a mini cooper s JCW with the following specs (that i can remember)

Factory JCW
JCW airbox with ITG filter
newman cam
550's
Thumper TPR2R head with crower valve springs and all the blablbla to it
ported/polished exhaust manifold
Wiseco pistons 77.50 overbore
Janspeed Header
JCW catback
MYNES tune
Mocal oil cooler with thermostat
Brembo's form the r56 with xp12's
Ireland engineering adj. camber plates + rear ARB
Clutchmasters FX400 with Fidanza Flywheel

OZ Ultra's in bright RED
Federale RSR's
H&R clubsports
GRS front mount intercooler
JCW color coded body kit

hmm i think that's about it.... the one hick is i got the news i'm 80% moving to San Francisco in September, the car is being rebuilt as we speak IM GUTTED to leave it behind as we all know bringing a EU car to the US is just ridiculously expensive....

would it be doable to just bring the engine with me and buy a shell out there..?! im really really really pissed off i gotta leave it behind we havent even finished the re-build and im already counting the days to say goodbye to it.... :(

BUT im excited to see what power its gonna give out. before the head etc.. it had 217 WHP

Anyway new to the forum so saying hello and well... that's it...

Wilkommen unserem neue Freund! (Did I say that correctly? Oh well.) I'm new to the forums too ('just got an '06 MCS a few weeks ago). I wish I can offer advice, as far as shipping your motor over the pond. But, I know nothing about massive shipments like that. 'Best of luck with everything, and happy motoring!
