Just bought a Mini Cooper S on Sunday!
I've been watching CL like a hawk, and last Saturday I saw an '05 MCS pop up with hard shifts for $2,800. I drove a couple hours and sealed the deal for $2,500. I love the car.
In the past week I've:
- rotated the tires
- painted the rotors
- painted the calipers
- polished the driver's side headlight
- polished both taillights
- changed the spark plugs
- changed the front wipers
- ordered a new "Mini" emblem for the hood
- ordered weathertech mats used from CL
- ordered a real cup holder used from CL
- 17% pulley with belt and tools
- Transgo shift kit
- tranny gasket
- ordered steering wheel control module for aftermarket stereo
I guess that's it for now.

It was having hard 3rd gear downshifts once warmed up, so I decided to try the Transgo shift kit install myself. It didn't go so well. I ended up installing a Revmax rebuilt VB and it's shifting fine now.
Thanks and will do.
