Knowing what you have done to your engine? Yeah I might be crazy enough to take that trade. My buddy sent me a link to a 2" MiniCooper lift kit the other day. For less than $300 I could lift it lol. Not gonna happen on this one, but an LS swapped lifted Mini would be a lot of fun. But then I wouldnt need a jeep... ope!

Update: The car has nearly 207,000 miles on it now. It has only ever let me down once, when I shredded the belt leaving a reststop 3hrs from my destination and 4hrs from home. That was fun. It needs shocks again, along with an ac compressor, belt, and tensioner. I hope to get the compressor/belt/tensioner done before the end of the year and the shocks will come whenever I get sick of killing my kidneys.
It has taken out a deer, taken every beating I've dished out, and taken me all over the midwest hauling things a coupe should never haul. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

I am currently driving it daily still but tentatively searching for engine swap candidates for the future.

Update: Mini Coopers end of life begins at 210,000 miles. I've had nothing but problems between my last post and now at 214,000. It awaits another trip to the shop for a single part, and then we'll see what happens next.

I just helped a buddy change rear brakes on an 02 mini yesterday. F that noise. It has only 53k miles, but the design they have for everything is ridiculous.

I did my brakes a couple years ago. I actually thought it was pretty simple and easy to do. 2002 is a different generation though, so Im not sure what the difference is.
