There are 4 new badges on the car. The one on the head contains a seriel #. Then there is one in the intercooler, front fascia and rear hatch lid. There is also engraving on the muffler tips.

There are a lot of people bashing this kit on the Mini forum. I like the warranty period! I love how smooth this car is more so since the kit. I cannot wait for it to be broken in now. I need to take some road trips.

What if I said none of your business?
$6K. Its a lot of money but when you factor in I can now kick the crap out of the car and if anything goes wrong its covered. Trust me, there are quite a few minis with blown engines in the dealerships. Most of the time it is due to idiots running 87 octane in their MCS's though.
You also have to consider these kits are hot I waited 2 months to get mine. There are only so many distributed around the world. This will do much to my cars resale value.

It seems you can get the same HP from a simple pully. It seems more like haters because people can afford this kit.
I think this is an awesome platform to build from in the future. I a couple of years when the warranty is about up I will add some other goodies. Honestly though I have no desire to own a 300HP FWD car. I prefer my TII for super fast. The mini is for fun.

94Touring - your not going to believe this.
I am looking at this mini - as a daily driver. I am tired of fighting with my wife for the CooperS so I might buy this its pretty cheap too.
