LOOK, PAGE 9! :D
Got a contact from Mini Mania, they now offer a warr. that will compliment the factory one. THIS IS GETTING CRAZY. :mad: I know the Dinan kit is off, they wont be able to get me over 200 hp until a few more months down the road. Somebody posted something about Dinan always seems to be "a few months out" on there upgrades, but in a few months its still "a few months out". Mini Mania has a 215 hp stage 2 kit that is $2000. I would imagine that it can NOT be more expensive to install than the JCW kit ($1500). You know, no matter what choice I make, it will be the wrong one. The JCW guys will bash on me for cutting corners if I go MM. The aftermaket guys will grind on my for having spent way too much $ and accuse me of having more $ then cents. I know that my wife would prefer me to save the extra $ and go aftermarket. My heart and soul, even though more expensive and not nearly the power gains, tell me to go JCW. Theres a certain amount of prestige there. Thats it, wheres a friggin quater...just gonna have to flip a coin! ;) Wait, where the magic 8 ball? Mirror, mirror on the wall, which kit is best of all?

Today, a Mini Cooper to be owner was hospitalize after debating over what to do with his Mini Cooper. He was found at home on the couch by his wife, with his fingers bleeding from typing on the computer. He was in a catatonic state, drooling/foaming at the mouth and mubbling something about Mini madness. Mini Madness is now being looking to by the Government to try and thwart an epidemic outbreak. If anyone you know starts to show signs of the Madness, quickly strap them down (in a Mini Cooper of course) and point them onto a curvy road for some corner carving theropy. After they get back be sure to monitor their condition for atleast the next 24 hours. However, it was too late for this poor soul. Don't let this happen to you. :p

Wife has recently learned of the JCW kit. Got the speech "Why do you need an engine package on your commuter car?!" Uh, cause I want it? She proceeded to tell me how I was going to put $10,000 down on the car and now I am practically putting down nothing. I explained to her that the $ was still there, but not (long story). Basically, I just want to make sure that we still have $10,000 in the bank after I have the car...Who knows, maybe a vacation in the future, or perhaps just to be able some $ in savings?

Mini Mania's kits now work with Miniusa's warr. Might have to go that route to save a little $.
