I have 4 brackets for the GEN2 with yellow Hella 500's - I was a bit nervous taking the front bumper and side panels...but it was a breeze- took me about 4 hours all up including wiring- I did opt for a simple two relay (2 lights on each relay) system that go on when I hit the high beam. I did not install an additional switch. I spent the bulk of my time looking at the pictures from the instructions and putting the bumper in place and adjusting bit by bit - if a template could be made it would make this kit a killer kit. A little handy work with the dremel tool and presto! great kit- get lots of comments and I drove up to lake Tahoe and used them - super sweet visibility.:thumbsup:
Please see my posts on the 17" Konig Feathers from ALTA. Terrible customer service and they took 2 weeks to give me my money back. AND they had the nerve to have ME pay for the initial shipping of incorrect wheels with no rings. I'm a FORMER customer.

So far, I really like my new TSW Springs. :nod: They replaced the H-Sport PLS that were bottoming out with each and every highway irregularity. The TSW Springs have pretty much eliminated that problem...sure, some roads are still bumpy, but, with the MINI's short wheelbase, they will always be that. On the otherhand, the bone-jarring crunches of the H-sports are now gone, and I have a much smoother ride. Yep, I like these springs so far [they are about 1,000 miles old]...they were well-worth the money I paid, IMVHO! :thumbsup:
My H-Sport progressive lowering springs and OEM suspension bushings were being victimized by our "wonderful" Ohio roads, so Waylen replaced the springs with TSWs, the OEM bushings with poly ones, and the OEM front swaybar with a beefier one. WOW...what a difference! Gone is the bone-jarring ride, and the new front swaybar really stabilized the front end for the BMW CCA HPDE I did at Mid Ohio last weekend.
Waylen has never steered me wrong on things I have had installed on my R50 or R53. I trust his observations and advice completely. Not only does he stand behind what he services and sells, but he aso stands behind the repairs he makes to cars brought in to him for service. I have dealt with Way since early '05, having just met him in late '04. I particularly like the way he checks over my cars and tells me things he has observed that the dealer has missed in past inspections...I then go home and return to the dealer, who just cannot believe they had missed this or that!! :roll: Yep, going to Way is THE Way to go, IMVHO! :thumbsup: For me, it is well worth the 250 mile roundtrip drive over to Indianapolis and back home, knowing that my cars have been serviced correctly! Thanks again, Way! :nod:

Placed control arm bushings order on 10/9 heard nothing from company other than order confirmation. On 10/21 I got worried and emailed them. They then finally shipped the product. This is 12 days later, this is unacceptable. They charged me 15 for shipping and handling also.(these bushings cant weigh more than 1 pound) They didn't offer to waive or upgrade the shipping or be the least bit accommodating for this delay.
I would NOT do business with them again, nor would I recommend this company to anyone.
I bought the Scangauge ll last week on the group buy and so far it's been great. I'm still finding new thigs to do with it. The installation was very easy to do. Outstanding price and service from Way. I ordered it on a Thurs. and it arrived at my door on Sat. morning.

For about a month I was taught between a Helix and a Forge intercooler unit... Until I made my monthly visit to WayMotorWorks. Since my last visit WayMotorWorks stocked up on Forge intercoolers and I finally got to see an R56 intercooler in-person. I bought the Forge intocooler knowing what a reputation Forge has not only with the community and review but also the heavy involvment within the aftermarket community. Compaired with other brand units; the welds and manufactored process is unparralleled. This intercooler is a work of art! I was quite blown away by the quality of this intercooler - having worked with aftermarket Greddy and Chineese intercoolers for other modified vehicles. Forge knows what they are doing with this product which is way WayMotorWorks stands behind them - Only the best! Once I saw, I believed, and then - I bought!
The installation was easy enough and required absolutly NO cutting whatsoever. I think the Helix IC requires your front grill to be cut in several places. Not with the Forge! Forge includes a pre-cut front grill which is as bolt-on as they come and in no way visually or structurally impairs the stock appearance. No hassle with placement or fitment necessary. Following installation procedures was easy - included are pictures of each and every bolt or pushpin for getting the bumper cover off and then back on. With taking my time and pictures it took me ~4 hours from start to end, by myself with the car on Jackstands.
The imediate results are the following (on a 2009 Factory JCW)-
1. Lower intake temperatures by up to 50 Degrees F at 19PSI (Stock JCW)
2. Same spool/lag as stock - Dyno shows 100rpm better - Drivability increased
3. More grunt from bottom to top
4. I dyno'd 25whp and 15wtq more than stock above 5,500 RPM - all the way to redline. +5 or so from 3-4,500 rpm.
Future performance / longevity
1. Saves the motor from overworking itself with stock hot intake air temperatures. Too small an intercooler can mean the death to some engines in the long run.
2. Further mod-ability factory allows for increase beyond what the IC provides - More breathing room for improvement.
3. Now I can get my WMW Tune
I also recommend (but not required) getting a Forge Turbo to IC charge pipe also from WayMotorWorks at the same time as purchasing this Intercooler.
