Yes you can come. I will PM you where you need to be and when.

Or you could just get the part numbers off realoem.com. Realoem will show you exactly which parts are different between standard and sports suspension so you should only have to check a couple of key components to know which suspension they have put on your car. Rear sway bar diameter would probably be the easiest thing to check.

I have an 06 MC with sports suspension, easy to tell I have it. When I replaced my springs I discovered a sticker on the shock that said "Cooper S" Just look for that. Unless yours is already a MCS then discard what I just said

Hi Guys,

Just realised there is a section for Aust guys

So I should be picking up my new mini in a couple of weeks, attached is a pic

Has anyone imported any of the kits on offer in UK?? or do most leave them pretty standard?

Cheers

If you want to pay an arm and a leg for it you can buy it from England. The best places to look is to America. If you go to MINI COOPER :: North American Motoring that is the forum site for American Mini owners, in there is a list of vendors that sell items for the R53 and R56. But just remember once you start you can't stop, it's like a disease!!

Yep we mod 'em. I refer you to
http://www.mini2.com/forum/australia...-mini-327.html
for some indication of that.
I agree with Scolburn, Its cheaper from the USA but i get sick of dealing with the lack-lustre attitude from the US and sometimes the GB vendors. I reckon if you can make it here, make it here. At least you know what you're getting.
Cheers and welcome

Have fun tomorrow. I won't make it. I have a problem with my knee and I need to get an op. So I will be out of action for a few months at least.

Cheers.

Gary.

Cheers guys

Hope all the ClubMINIers had fun today - apologies that I couldnt make it, today I was helping Abs move her stuff (no not in the MINI - in a hired truck!)

I put in the third brake pulsar yesterday arvo - about to hook up the rear fogs to the brakelights using the gominigo kit - if anyone sees a LB MCS with a wall of brake lights and a flashing 3rd brake light you will know who it is ;-)

Gary - hope the knee sorts itself out and you dont need the op. I can imagine it would be pretty hard driving the MINI with a bung knee - hopefully you dont need to trade it in for an autonatic... :P

[ZapoMCS]

Thanks Sambo. It is my left knee and it won't sort itself out it needs an op. If it is going to take a long time to recover I might get a cheep auto to see me though.

Cheers.

Gary.

Sorry to hear about the knee Gary, hope all goes well for you. Try and make it to the show and shine though, get someone to drive your car if need be.

Does this explain your base jump

I will only know if I can make it to the show'n shine after the op, which I may book in tomorrow. Best result for the op is no weight on my leg for 6 weeks and no driving for 8 weeks. Worst result for the op I walk out after the ops. So sorry to say but I hope I don't make the show'n shine.

[07BPB]

All you need is a wheel chair and some one to give you a lift Hope the op goes smoothly.
