Surely you guys know that it is illegal for a dealer to void your warranty do to aftermarket equipment right?

Get reading: The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

Something has to protect the aftermarket performance business

 

congrats.....ive wanted a mini for some time

 

Holy ****, they would REALLY regret telling me that if I'd bought a mini. I'd be going through a set up brake pads every other week

 

Thanks for the link Bobby. I was kind of generalizing that statement. I know for example if you modify your exhaust, the dealer cannot deny repairs on your fuel pump etc. I've read some horror stories about dealers voiding warranties when an aftermarket part causes a problem, but I've never actually got to read that before. Probably stemmed from a lack of knowledge on their rights. Lots of scenarios possible on that note. 'Preciate it man. Sorry, not trying to jack the thread.

 

If it says in the warantee that modifying it will void this warantee, it voids it. Mitsubishi makes it very clear when you buy an EVO and MINI made it clear when I bought this.

Oh, and Andrey... I really don't think that the engine has anything in common with a 2.0 Neon engine. It's a 1.6 SOHC. I was pretty sure it was a joint venture between BMW and Renault.

 

i want a mini.

just so you know, they can be made a lot more reliable and take to mods very well (but thats about all i know about minis)

 

congrats Adam! i didnt even know you were looking for a new car

 

nice ride. if it were me, i would have gotten a european mini, one from like the 70's or something. now those are small and can be made to go fast.
