Sell it and buy a classic mini that you want.
I had a thought. I flip this sell my Mini buy an FD without an engine and drop a 20B in. Then I can die a happy man.
I just changed the plugs on the 90 TII - I am spoiled by my car. This thing has A/c power steering pollution yada yada... The front plugs were a PITA to change.
I think it will idle better now. The plugs I pulled were in bad shape. It has Magnacore wires and I noticed it has Mazdaspeed front and rear strut braces too. This guy really did a nice job on this car.
I am gonna drive it for a month or so then sell it. I really want to do a compression test before I sell it and make sure its a good solid car.
I really wouldn't mind dropping in some 720's the SAFC and Profec B and throwing her on a dyno too. If the compression checks out that is.

man, seeing that picture gives me inspiration to keep my TII and keep the mod process going even after i get a new DD.
my car has been ghettoed sooo much due to the poor college student factor combined with the desire for a fast / cool car factor.
i might just sell mine after graudation when i get a better car, and then buy a clean, original S5 TII later on in life to restore. or maybe an FD 10+ years down the road...

yes, I too would really like to know how much you are going to be asking for the car, I am in florida, and I currently have no running cars, if it isn't going to be too much more than I would spend on my gtu to get it fixed, it is always nice to trade up =)
